vehicle oder disperging agent Explanation: A distinction is usually made between a pigment, which is insoluble in the VEHICLE (resulting in a suspension), and a dye, which either is itself a liquid or is soluble in its vehicle (resulting in a solution). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigment Pigments are generally not soluble in water, oil, or other common solvents. To be applied to a material, they are first ground into a fine powder and thoroughly mixed with some liquid, called the DISPERGING AGENT or VEHICLE. The pigment-dispersing agent mixture is then spread on the material to be colored. As the dispersing agent dries out, the pigment is held in place on the material. http://www.scienceclarified.com/Di-El/Dyes-and-Pigments.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-07-05 01:40:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Einsatzmedium = Anwendungsmedium |

substance (coating) used/applied Explanation: reviewed various works in German (incl. on Google books) for the use of Einsatzmedium in general chemical texts; and then confirmed against the definition and general use of "Einsatz" in the Wunsch's Wörterbuch Maschinenbau und Tribologie. My consensus understanding of the "use" of Einsatz is "use" or "application"; thus making "Einsatzmedium" the substance(etc.) used or applied. In your sentence, then, something like: Pigments differ from other dyes of similar chemical composition in that they don't dissolve in the substance used (or applied). Generally also see: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/ido/oeip/taf/def/427.htm and see http://www.uspto.gov/go/taf/def/252.htm.
