Particles which do not aggregate at a significant rate: the precise connotation depends on the type of aggregation under consideration. For example, a concentrated paint is called @S05900@ by some people because oil and pigment do not separate out at a measurable rate, and @U06569@ by others because the pigment particles aggregate into a continuous @NT07562@.
