Consumer Products Ingredient Dictionary in CD-ROM - CSPA

Consumer Products Ingredient Dictionary 2014 in CD-ROM, Consumer Speciality Products Association

The First Update to the Second Edition of the Dictionary is now available, featuring 487 Ingredient Monographs defining 988 trade names from 51 suppliers, and defining 1,866 technical or other names for those ingredients - a total of several hundred pages of technical information specific to consumer product uses.  The CSPA Dictionary was created to provide standard nomenclature for companies participating in the voluntary industry ingredient communication initiative. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE) Standard for Safer Products also identifies the CSPA Dictionary as an appropriate nomenclature system and encourages its use for DfE participants for the ingredient communication required for DfE partnered products.

Even if your company is not yet involved in ingredients communication, the CSPA Dictionary is an excellent reference for R&D lab and regulatory staff, with extensive information in each ingredient monograph, and you can also search for ingredients by chemical class, functions, and lots more. In addition to its primary purpose, the Dictionary now provides valuable benefits to:

§  Product formulation scientists, who can use it to search for what ingredients are currently used in consumer products by product category, chemical class, use function and other technical descriptors, and find out who supplies them, and under what trade names they are sold;

§  Regulatory compliance personnel, who can find further information on ingredients, including VOC/LVP status in consumer product air quality regulations and information useful for Safety Data Sheets; and,

§  Ingredient suppliers, who can file applications for their ingredients and brand names to be included and made known to product formulators
