DILUTING AGENT/ DILUENT/SOLVENT Explanation: I´d say: "No diluting agent should be added". You can also use the word "diluent" or "solvent" which are nouns (compare with "diluting" which is an adjective). Diluents make substances to be less irritant or potent (according to Ruiz Torres´Dictionary of Medical Terms. Good luck! |

thinner Explanation: Yo usaría "diluent" o "dissolvent" si se hablara de disolver algo. Si la idea es la de diluir algo en un contexto industrial usaría "thinner". Saludos! |

Diluting agent Explanation: Thinner is equivalent to solvent but not 'diluyent'. A solvent is not regarded by Spanish speakers as a diluyent. A diluting agent is more appropriate in this context. |
