a diluting agent
{i} diluting agent, substance which makes a liquid thinner or weaker
A liquid used to dilute bitumen to the point where it will flow Naptha is the most commonly used diluent in the oil sands industry
A liquid used in coatings to reduce the consistency and make a coating flow more easily The water in latex coatings is a diluent A diluent may also be called a "Reducer," "Thinner," "Reducing Agent" or "Reducing Solvent "
A liquid that is included in a coating, or can be added primarily to reduce its viscosity A diluent is not necessarily a solvent for the binder
a usually inert (unreactive) liquid or solvent, used to dilute, carry, or increase the bulk of some other substance Petroleum oils and solvents are commonly used as dilutents in such products as paints, pesticides, and additives
A non-solvent liquid which is blended with an active solvent to obtain certain properties in a finishing material
the thinning agent used to dilute a fluid, usually water
Fluid used to dilute a substance
Liquid (usually a solvent or water) used to make the product less concentrated
A portion of the volatile components of a coating which is not a true solvent and has minimal affect on the viscosity
Any liquid or solid material used to dilute or carry an active ingredient
Liquids which increase the capacity of a solvent for the binder Diluents cannot dissolve the binder themselves, but rather are used to control viscosity, flash time, or cost While true solvents can be added in unlimited amounts to lower paint viscosity, it may be more economical to lower viscosity with less-costly diluent solvents When added to a prepared paint, a diluent will lower the viscosity just as effectively as a true solvent However, if too much diluent is added, the resin will separate out of solution and the paint becomes unusable
A sterile solution used for reconstituting Flolan powder
a substance added to another to reduce the concentration and resulting in a homogeneous end product without chemically altering the compound of interest
{s} dilutive, serving to make a liquid thinner or weaker
With solvent extraction, an organic solvent is used to dilute the extractant to an optimum concentration and to improve the phase separation from the aqueous phase As it is important in the nuclear field to avoid damage from any radiation and the nitric acid, a saturated paraffinic hydrocarbon such as n-dodecane is used as the diluent
Usually a neutral fluid added to another fluid to reduce the concentration of the second fluid in a mixture
Any gas, liquid, or solid material used to reduce the concentration of an active ingredient in a formulation
