What is CPDat? 

CPDat (Chemical and Products Database) is a collection of information about how thousands of chemicals are used in commerce sourced from publicly available documents. CPDat contains information on: the chemical ingredients of thousands of consumer products (harmonized to standard product categories), the functional use of chemicals (harmonized to function categories defined by the intergovernmental Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and the general use of thousands of chemicals. CPDat can be explored via the Chemical Exposure Knowledgebase (ChemExpo) or downloaded in bulk. Some summary data are available in the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard. 

Users can search ChemExpo or the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard for chemicals by chemical name, Chemical Abstracts Registry Number (CASRN), or by a product type (e.g. "shampoo"). ChemExpo also allows for searches using the chemical function or use keyword.
