A substance or agent that causes agglomeration; something that binds particles or materials together to form clumps or clusters.
From Latin 'agglomerare' (to gather into a ball) plus '-ant' (causing or doing), describing a substance that promotes clustering or binding of particles.
In manufacturing, agglomerants are secret ingredients—a tiny bit added to powders makes everything stick together into useful lumps, which is why they're crucial in cement, paint, and pharmaceuticals.
