👉 A transit fluid is a liquid or gas that fills the spaces between solid particles in a colloidal dispersion, acting as a medium to facilitate the movement and interaction of these particles. This fluid, often water or an organic solvent, reduces the friction between particles and prevents them from aggregating or settling out of the dispersion. By maintaining a stable environment, transit fluids help preserve the uniformity and stability of colloidal systems, ensuring consistent behavior and properties. They play a crucial role in processes like sedimentation, flocculation, and the overall functionality of colloidal materials in various applications, from pharmaceuticals to food science.
