Reference: Depending on the audience Reference information: If your text is targeted to the general public, I would stick to 'drying agent'. If, however, it more professionallly oriented, I would consider using 'surfactant', which is the technical term for this kind of surface tension relievers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 57 mins (2011-09-04 02:12:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ouch, this was meant for discussion, not reference.
