demineralized

Stripped of minerals

Demineralized describes something that has had its minerals removed, typically through chemical or filtration processes.

Demineralized water has been stripped of dissolved salts and impurities, making it useful in laboratories, industrial equipment, and medical applications where mineral content would cause problems: Use demineralized water in your steam iron to prevent buildup.
