👉 Reductions fluid, also known as a reduction fluid or reduction agent, is a chemical substance used to lower the surface tension of liquids, particularly water. It achieves this by adsorbing at the liquid-air interface, forming a monolayer that reduces the cohesive forces between water molecules. This process makes it easier for liquids to spread, mix, and wet surfaces, which is crucial in various applications like cleaning, coating, and emulsification. Common reductions fluids include alcohols, glycols, and surfactants, each with specific properties that make them suitable for different industrial and domestic uses.
