Additionally, inorganic substances such as ammonia, caustic soda, chlorine, sulfur, soda ash, bromine, fluorine, and phosphorus are also classified as base chemicals. The term intermediate chemicals refers to a wide array of products including ammonia, waxes, solvents, phenols, tars, plastics, and rubbers.
