SPI-Chem Cardolite® NC-513 Epoxy Plasticizer and Diluent

Clarification of multiple CAS numbers


There are two CAS #'s for Cardolite NC-513, glycidyl ether of 3-alkyl phenol.

This material was originally registered in the USA, Canada, and Europe as CAS #68413-24-1. However, a later "inventory correction" was mandated by the US TSCA, and NC-513 is now registered under TSCA using CAS #171263-25-5.

However, the registration in Canada and Europe is still the original one, under CAS #68413-24-1.

We don't have any simple way of explaining this except to note that when one really has the need to declare a CAS # for the SPI-Chem™ NC-513 glycidyl ether of 3-alkyl phenol, we would recommend the following statement: In the USA, use CAS #171263-25-5, for Canada, Europe and the rest of the world use CAS #68413-24-1.

We agree that this is very complicated and regulations in different countries are changing almost daily. Should you, as our reader, be aware that some other description would be applicable in some other country, we would appreciate your letting us know.
