What is the difference between a suspending agent and a viscosity enhancing agent?

∙ 9y ago
A viscosity enhancing agent basically thickens the fluid. However; a suspending agent performs two functions, one is that of a viscosity enhancing agent, secondly forming a film around the particle and decreasing interparticle attraction.

What is the difference between heavy crude oil and light crude oil?
light crude oil has less specific gravity,less viscosity while heavy crude oil has more specific gravity & viscosity.
What is the relationship between viscosity and refractive index?
refractive index is equals to squarroot of relative permitivity
What is the viscosity of liquids?
viscosity is one of the properties of liquids ans is associated with flow of water.defination:viscosity is defined as the force of friction between two layers of liquids moving past one another with different velocities
Derive the relation between relative viscosity and absolute viscosity?
Relative Viscosity often refers to that of a Polymer Solution and is defined as the ratio of the viscosity of the solution to the pure solvent. It is calculated experimentally by measuring the time that it takes for the pure solvent to pass through a certain tube, in certain conditions , and comparing it with the time it takes for the solution to pass through the same tube, in the same condition. The term Apparent Viscosity is used when you calculate the viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid by applying equations that are derived for the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid. So it is not the actual viscosity. I hope this answers your question.
How are viscosity and flow rate related?
viscosity is inversely proportional to the flow rate. the actual formula is complex , but higher the viscosity slower will be the flow rate. honey flows slowly and air flows freely because of the above reason.viscosity is also essential,otherwise we would have never been able to use an ink pen.viscosity makes the ink to flow on paper
What is the difference between viscosity and viscosity index?
Viscosity is resistance to flow of oil Viscosity Index is a scale to measure viscosity
What is the difference between the Plastic Viscosity and Viscosity of a drilling fluid?
Both are same
What is the difference between the Plastic Viscosity and Apparent Viscosity of a drilling fluid.?
Both are same
What is the difference between the Plastic Viscosity and Apparent Viscosity of a drilling fluid?
Both are same
What is the difference between makeup and cosmetics?
Did not get your question...cosmetics is for enhancing your beauty.
What is the difference in viscosity between semi and fully synthetic oil?
There is no difference in viscosity. A 10w30 full synthetic is the same as a 10w30 blend.
What is the difference between effective viscosity and apparent viscosity for Non newtonian fluid?
both are same thingwhere, η - Apparent Viscosity
What is the difference between single viscosity oil an mulit-viscosity oil?
Single viscosity is high quality oil. Mulit-viscosity oil is used for in the winter.
What is the difference between viscosity and transparency?
transparancy is how much light can get through something, and viscosity has to do with thickness of a liquid
What is the viscosity difference between the hpmc k100m and hpmc k15m?
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT OF VISCOSITY .... HPMC K15M (15 cps) HPMC K100M (100000 cps )
What is the difference between fluidity and viscosity?
fluidity is that how easily a liquid flows and viscosity is how rigid era the particles of the liquid are
Difference between dynamic and kinematic viscosity?
dynamic viscosity is the quantitative expression of fluid's resistance,while kinematic viscosity is the ratio of fluid viscous force to inertial force.
