Unable to react chemically with the body. e.g. Titanium is inert and so will not provoke any allergic response when used in piercings.
A material not acted upon chemically by the surrounding environment. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are examples of inert constituents of natural gases; they dilute the gas and do not burn, and thus add no heating value.
Inactive chemically or physically.
describes a body which has no physical chemistry action on the environment. : former means of expression, in dB(A), of the insulation improvement to impact noise, obtained by laying a floor covering.
A material that will not react chemically with other elements.
Material which will not react with or be significantly altered by other material. It is stable.
Does not react chemically.
Munitions, or components thereof, that contain no explosives, pyrotechnic, or chemical agents.
having only a limited ability to react chemically; not active; "inert matter"; "an indifferent chemical in a reaction"
A material that is stable and does not react with itself, the environment, or any other materials surrounding it. When the term inert is used, always look for further information such as: inert to what materials, under what conditions, and for how much time, etc.
The term usually applied to the various extender pigments such as barytes, silica, calcium sulfate, mica, talc, etc. In general, they have poor hiding power, since they are transparent in nature. However, their advantage lies in the fact that they are inert from both a chemical and physical standpoint. Although inert pigment often contributes some desirable properties to a paint, they are primarily added to cheapen paint.
chemically non-reactive; inert growing mediums make it easy to control the chemistry of the nutrient solution
A species is inert if it has a low kinetic reactivity.
Forming few or no chemical compounds; having no pharmacologic or therapeutic action.
Having little or no chemical affinity or activity.
a material that will not react chemically with others. In the context of inert waste, it is materials such as soil, clay, chalk and spoil.
Substances which do not react with other materials under normal temperature and pressure.
A material that will not react chemically with other ingredients.
Inert waste is chemically non-reactive, non -combustible, non- biodegradable and non-polluting waste, for example bricks, masonry, rubble, sand, stone and hardcore.
Lacking the ability to chemically react with other substances.
Technically, unreactive with other substances; however, in the instrumentation field, "inert" is a relative term. Often polymers are termed inert but are soluble in some fluids and can react with some compounds.
a substance that will not react; as used here, inert refers to organic matter in sludge that will not further decompose, consuming oxygen and creating foul odors.
Deficient in active properties; especially: lacking a usual or anticipated chemical or biological action.
Chemically inactive; resistant to corrosion.
inactive; having no biological or catalytic activity.
not readily reactive with other chemicals
A component with no uncontrolled chemical incompatibility with other components or with the container materials of construction. Examples of inert compounds include nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide and methane.
deficient in active properties: not affecting other substances when in contact with them such as inert gases not participation in any fashion in chemical reactions.
Inactive. In the paint industry a material to which the word "inert" is applied will not react chemically with other ingredients used with it in making paint, varnish or enamel.
Unreactive. Used to describe compounds that do not undergo chemical reactions.
a term usually used to describe media like rockwool that is chemically non reactive to water or a nutrient solution. What you put in is what the plant gets, with no biological action associated with the media itself.
1. Without power to move, act or resist. 2. Tending to be physically or mentally inactive. 3. Having few or no active properties. 4. Chemically inactive; glass or helium.
Chemical inactivity; unable to move; totally unreactive.
In chemistry, a non-reactive element. Inert materials are important in art, as they are desirable materials in archiving works, being less prone to chemical change and degradation of the support or discoloration of the work.
