U.S gov house hold product chemical database for OTC products


It's possible I am the only person to not have known this, but apparently in the U.S the government has a searchable database by ingredient with products containing that ingredient and at what percentage.

I was previously using the sticky thread to find a type of product that contains the chemical I want, and then looking up various MSDS for products that might contain the chemical I wanted.

Now I can just look up any chemical and find what percentage is contained in various brands. Then I just find a retailer that carries that product.

Just thought I'd share in case someone else didn't know about this website.

I used to use this database often, a quick search of the URL on this site gives a number of threads where it was the topic of interest (and quite a few more where it was mentioned):

http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=16664
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=11561

It's a good resource but I have to wonder if things ever get updated, I believe there was a section in the potassium thread where they were searching the database for t-butanol but when one of the fuel additives that was supposed to have t-butanol was found it wasn't in there.
