Organic (carbon-based or containing) liquids and non-organic (not containing carbon) as GearHead1 stated came to mind.
Or are we in the realm of suspension emulsifiers and aqueous modifiers and solutions?
Just "ingredients terms" I read from detailing product labels.
Aquious modifiers sounds like a fancy ten-dollar word for de-ionized water!
OR, are we in the realm of Accumulator`s title for Meguiar`s "Trade- Secret Oils" or TSOs as they are abbreviated within this forum??

Exactly why the need to know the differences of aliphatic and aromatic solvents families, which are toxic, which are not, etc.
OK Ron K., NOW I know where you are going with your initial question for this thread topic.Exactly why the need to know the differences of aliphatic and aromatic solvents families, which are toxic, which are not, etc.
It relates to another thread you started on reading detailing product labels and Material Safety Data Sheet to KNOW what is in them, how to use them correctly, and possible chemical hazards they may pose, AND how to avoid or mitigate those hazards to the end-user and/or environment (AKA, Personal Protective Equipment or PPE).
It is the antithesis to the adage "What you do not know cannot hurt you" or the parallel adage "Ignorance is bliss".
That may be true in government and politics; it is NOT in using detailing products.
Two detailing products that are THE most-misused or cause the most harm to vehicles and/or the end-user are degreasers and acid-based wheel (rim) cleaners.
Chemically-chapped hands are minor compared to an Emergency Room visit for an acid burn on the hands or face or scared lungs from chemical mist inhalation.
What is unfortunate is that someone reading this may have experienced this because they did not first read the product labels and take the necessary precautions to prevent this.
As the adage goes, "Experience is the best teacher", but its additional corollary is true, "But the cost of tuition can be quite high."

Lacquer thinner is another highly misused.
Another Captain Obvious adage, "Safety is no accident."
It is a play on words when you think about it, but in reality most "accidents" are bad events or outcomes from human errors or misjudgements.
Yes, there are the proverbial "being in the wrong place at the wrong time" but for the most part accidents can be prevented and avoided with some acumen of even a modicum of human common sense.
On a related note, my father made the seemingly prophetic statement, "If I know of the place and time I would die, I wouldn`t go there at that time!"
