👉 A prerequisite fluid, often referred to as the base fluid or carrier fluid, is a fundamental component in various industrial and scientific processes that facilitates the transport of other substances. This fluid typically serves as a medium for mixing, dissolving, or suspending the primary components of a formulation. It must possess specific properties such as low viscosity for ease of flow, thermal stability to withstand process conditions, and compatibility with the other components to prevent adverse reactions. Common examples include water, mineral oil, glycols, and ethylene glycol, each chosen based on the application's requirements. The fluid's role is crucial in ensuring uniformity, efficiency, and effectiveness of the final product or process.
