The Iraqi regime has also developed ways to disperse lethal biological agents widely, indiscriminately, into the water supply, into the air.

Surely polymeric surfactants, which are becoming increasingly important as dispersing agents, are worth more than the three pages devoted to them here.

They did not disperse their chemical or biological agents in an airburst.

The process has been used for the production of emulsifiers and dispersing agents and oil drilling fluids.

Dispersing agents and gelling agents are most useful in helping to keep oil from reaching shorelines and other sensitive habitats.

In the process industry dispersing agents or plasticizers are added to process liquids to prevent unwanted deposits by keeping them finely dispersed.

Only at much higher water content, or in the presence of dispersing agents does appreciable amounts of water become "free".

Often there are added dispersing agents to prevent redeposition of dissolved dirt and/or chelants to attack rust on metal parts.

It can be used in combination with additional components such as dispersing agents, solvents and other surfactants.

They are also popular as a thickening, dispersing, suspending and emulsifying agents in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and paints.
