reactives
Substances that interact
Reactives is the plural of reactive used as a noun, referring to substances that readily undergo chemical reactions.
In industrial and laboratory contexts, reactives are materials requiring careful handling due to their tendency to react with other substances: Store reactives away from oxidizers.
The term appears in safety protocols and chemical classification systems.
