vízmentes

Vízmentes is a Hungarian adjective meaning devoid of water or lacking moisture. The term is formed from the noun víz (water) and the suffix -mentes (without). It is used in technical, industrial, and scientific contexts to describe substances, materials, or conditions that contain no water or have been dried to remove water.

In chemistry and pharmaceuticals, vízmentes materials refer to anhydrous substances, where water of hydration has been removed or never present. This classification is important for storage and reactivity, since water can influence chemical stability and solubility. In data sheets and product labels, vízmentes indicates a dry form, often achieved through drying processes and the use of desiccants.

In the food and cosmetic industries, the term is used to describe products or formulations that are free of water as an intentional attribute, or where water content is minimized. Examples include vízmentes készítmények (water-free formulations), such as certain oils, waxes, or anhydrous cosmetic products. In these contexts, vízmentes can imply longer shelf life and different texture or application properties.

In everyday language, vízmentes can be used to describe surfaces, environments, or materials that are dry, or that have been dried. The antonym is vizes or nedves (wet or moist). The usage is largely technical, and in non-technical Hungarian, more common terms for dryness may suffice.
