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.

An inert substance added so as to reduce the activity of a substance.( 0301)

A material blended with an active solvent in an organic coating to increase its volume and/or reduce its viscosity.

Fluid used to dilute a substance.

A neutral fluid added to another fluid to reduce the concentration of the second fluid in a mixture.

Portion of the volatile components of a coating which is not a true solvent. Has minimal effect on the viscosity and reduces the solids content in applied coating formulations.

A liquid filler of thinner formulas.

a fluid that dissolves the lyospheres

a liquid solution that the drug, a dry powder, mixes with just prior to administration

an agent, usually a liquid, that dilutes a substance (a drug, in this case) or makes it less potent or less irritating

Liquids used to thin down paint, such as turpentine or white spirit of oils and water for water-based paints.

A liquid added to a plastic resin to lower the viscosity of the resin.

Buffer or liquid medium used to dilute a standard or sample.

Liquid (usually a solvent or water) used to make the product less concentrated.

An ingredient used to increase the volume and decrease the concentration of a pesticide for purposes of application.

A chemically inert substance added to a solution to increase the volume and reduce the concentration; a diluting agent.

Any material which reduces the concentration of the fundamental resin; usually a liquid added to the resin to afford lower viscosity in order to facilitate working with the system.

A diluting agent (as the vehicle in a medicinal preparation).

An edible substance used to mix with and reduce the concentration of nutrients and/or additives.

A solid or liquid material used to dilute the pesticide to a suitable strength for application.

A chemical diluent is an ingredient used to reduce the concentration of an active material. Another common definition of diluent is a substance added to finished product (such as heroin) to increase bulk. In this sense, there is no clear distinction between a diluent and an extender. In heroin manufacture, “diluents” refer to extenders. Typical diluents for heroin are mannitol, sucrose, lactose, and starch.

Any gas, liquid, or solid material used to reduce the concentration of an active ingredient in a formulation.

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.

Light liquid petroleum fractions blended with heavy oil to facilitate its transport through pipelines

A diluting agent. An ingredient used to evenly disperse ingredients to provide improved consistency from dosage to dosage.

The liquid used to 1) Restore dried vaccines. 2) Bring up to volume any substance.

An un-reactive substance used to increase the bulk of some other substance. Petroleum oils and solvents are commonly used as diluents in such products as paints, pesticides, and additives.

A portion of the volatile components of a coating which is not a true solvent and has minimal affect on the viscosity.

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 used to thin ink. Refer IM.

Liquid that is used to dissolve or dilute another substance.

A liquid part of wet paint which does not contribute as a solvent to dissolving the resin, but nevertheless reduces the viscosity of the paint to help with application.

A reactive or non-reactive modifier used to reduce the viscosity and extend the material to which it is added.

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.

With respect to vaccines, the fluid that one uses to suspend a freeze-dried (powdered) vaccine

Used to dilute whole blood to a cell concentration suitable for measurement. Diluent also stabilizes cell membranes, carries electrical current or RF energy, and focuses the sample stream for optical counters.

Any liquid or solid material used to dilute or carry an active ingredient.

The material that a concentrated product is diluted with.

A fluid used to thin out or weaken another fluid, also known as a solvent.

A reactive or non-reactive additive whose primary function is to lower the viscosity and extend the material to which it was added.

A liquid used to dilute paints; in oils, turpentine or mineral spirits, in acrylics and watercolors, water.

A volatile liquid which, while not necessarily a solvent for the non-volatile constituents of an ink, may yet be used in conjunction with the true solvent without causing precipitation.

Any liquid or solid material used to carry or dilute an active ingredient.

A material, liquid or solid, used to dilute a toxicant to field use strength.

A Diluent (also referred to as a dilutant or thinner) is a diluting agent.
