A hydrocarbon fluid that is used to dilute heavy oil and reduce its viscosity for easier transportation. Generally a distillation tower cut such as naphtha is used as for heavy oil dilution and transp [..]

Any material that is designed to dilute another ingredient

A component of a tablet or capsule, usually present to add bulk to the dosage form. The most commonly used diluents include lactose, microcrystalline cellulose and native or pregelatinised starches. Dibasic calcium phosphate and mannitol are also used.

 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 [..]

Material into which the sample is diluted.

(n) a diluting agent

an ingredient usually added to an adhesive to reduce the concentration of bonding materials. (See also extender and thinner)

the thinning agent used to dilute a fluid, usually water.

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

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

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

In relation to stability testing for prescription medicines means:

a diluting agent, e.g., liquid added to reconstitute powdered vaccine

Any liquid used to dilute a solution

A diluting agent that is used to thin paint and that evaporates as paint dries (e.g., solvent and water). 

A hydrocarbon fluid, for example naphtha, that is mixed with heavy oil prior to transportation. The diluent reduces the viscosity and improves transportation.

A lighter hydrocarbon added to heavy crude oil or bitumen to help it move through the pipelines.

Light petroleum liquids used to reduce the viscosity of heavy crude oil, or fractions, particularly bitumen, so that it can flow more easily through pipelines

Liquid added to dilute or thin a solution; sometimes added to heavy crude oil to aid transportation via pipeline.

A lower density fluid used to blend with heavy oil or bitumen in order to reduce viscosity and density to pipeline conditions (condensate is the most commonly used diluent for pipeline transportation of heavy oil or bitumen)

The addition of diluents enables the diluted fluid to meet pipeline specifications in order for it to be efficiently transported. Typical diluents in these applications are naphtha or light oil used with very heavy oil or bitumen.

Lighter viscosity petroleum products that are used to dilute bitumen for transportation in pipelines

A substance that is used to dilute another substance.

That which dilutes. (analytical chemistry) A solvent or other liquid preparation used to dilute a sample prior to testing. (medicine) An agent used for effecting dilution of the blood; a weak dr [..]

An agent that is used to dilute the substance or solution to which it is added.
