reaction diluent

reaction diluent - a material (usually a light saturated hydrocarbon, e.g., pentane, hexane) that is used as a carrier for the polymerization catalyst in the manufacture of polyolefins (see polymer). The material must be very pure, since impurities "poison" the catalyst or hinder the polymerization by reacting with the olefins.
