SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on diluting Light Paraffin/White Mineral Oil to achieve a lower density and thinner consistency without altering the pH level. Participants suggest using a liquid hydrocarbon with a lower molar mass, maintaining a dilution ratio of 10% Light Paraffin/White Mineral Oil to 90% of the chosen chemical. The challenge lies in ensuring that the selected hydrocarbon does not affect the pH, which can be complex due to the nature of these substances.
