HazCat can also characterize chemicals by “families.” Many groups are clustered by functional group. Others take on characteristics due to related structure. Here are the common ones:
Acetates
Acrylates
Alcohols
Aldehydes
Amines
Animal feed
BTEX hydrocarbons Carbamates
Carbonates
Cellosolves
Chlorinated hydrocarbons Chlorocyanurates
Glycols
Isocyanates
Ketones
Mercaptans
Nitriles Organo-metals Organophosphates Plastics/plastic resins Polyols
Shellacs
Thionated pesticides Wood and wood products
