Pojivovou

Pojivovou is an instrumental feminine singular form of the Czech adjective pojivový, which means binder-related or binding. In technical and scientific Czech, pojivová is used to describe substances, layers, or components that serve to bind particles together or hold a composite material in place. It is not a standalone noun, but rather an inflected form that accompanies feminine nouns in the instrumental case, for example pojivovou vrstvu (binder layer), pojivovou hmotu (binder material), or pojivovou látku (binding substance).

The term is common across disciplines where binders play a key role. In construction and materials science, pojivová hmota or pojivovou vrstvu refers to the material that binds aggregates in mortars or coatings. In pharmaceuticals and food technology, pojivová látka or pojivová složka denotes the binding agent used to hold together powders or granules. In coatings and paints, pojivová báze describes the polymeric or resin component that provides adhesion and cohesion.

Etymologically, the word derives from pojivo, meaning binder, with its adjective form pojivový and feminine form pojivová adapted to modify feminine nouns. The form pojivovou is commonly encountered in written Czech, especially technical literature, where precise description of materials and their binding functions is required.
