coagulant
Blood thickening substance
A coagulant is a substance that causes liquid to thicken or clot.
Blood has natural coagulants that form clots to stop bleeding.
In water treatment, coagulants like alum cause suspended particles to clump together for easier removal.
The lab tested several coagulants to find which worked fastest.
