What does GELANT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalchemistry
A substance added to a liquid to cause it to thicken into a gel.
A gelant works by reacting with or binding the liquid it is added to, turning a free-flowing fluid into a soft, semi-solid gel. Engineers and chemists use gelants in fields such as oil recovery, food production, and cosmetics, wherever a liquid needs to be thickened or its flow controlled. The exact gelant chosen depends on the fluid being treated, since different chemical formulas trigger gelation under different conditions.
