| protective colloid | A colloid that has the power of preventing the precipitation of suspensoids under the influence of an electrolyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrophilic colloid | A colloidal dispersion in which the dispersed particles are more or less liquid and exert a certain attraction on and absorb a certain quantity of the fluid in which they are suspended. Synonym: emulsion colloid, hydrophil colloid, hydrophilic colloid, lyophilic colloid. (05 Mar 2000) |
