coagulants
Blood clotting substances
Coagulants are substances that cause liquids to thicken or clot.
In water treatment, coagulants like aluminum sulfate help particles clump together for easier removal.
In medicine, coagulants promote blood clotting—the opposite of anticoagulants, which thin the blood.
The surgeon applied a coagulant to stop the bleeding.
