nonaqueous
Lacking any water
Nonaqueous describes solutions, solvents, or chemical environments that don't contain water.
The term appears in chemistry and pharmaceutical contexts where water would interfere with a reaction or process: nonaqueous titration, nonaqueous solvent systems.
Oil-based paints and alcohol solutions are nonaqueous.
