Retrieval of existing CAS Registry Numbers

Assignment of new CAS Registry Numbers. I acknowledge and understand that the identities of these substances are non-confidential and will be disclosed publicly. If a CAS Registry Number already exists, it will be retrieved.

Note: If you request assignment of a new CAS Registry number for a substance not already present in the CAS Registry system, that assignment will make your substance publicly available in CAS Registry®. Customer identity information will be kept confidential. If you wish to maintain confidentiality for your Substance's identity, you should request only a CA Index Name or retrieval of an existing CAS Registry number.
