The infrared spectra of 15 dentifrice polishing agents were investigated and found to have individual characteristics for certain identification. Representative materials all exhibited a conformity to Beer's law, thus enhancing the application of quantitative techniques. Three procedures were investigated and the results indicated a usefulness for general analytic and specification purposes.
