  • deliquescent liquid?

    All the deliquescent material I know of are solids. Any deliquescent liquid?

    A liquid cannot become liquid by absorbing moisture,
    ( definition of deliquescence )
    as it already IS liquid.

    If only absorbing moisture alone matters,
    the notorious example is sulphuric acid.

    Then, by such a definition, anhydrous ethanol is not deliquescent either.

    Maybe the word you are looking for is not deliquescent? Dessicates are used to absorb water vapor.

    Not sure your anhydrous ethanol dessicate (yes as a noun) would be a non-flammable / safe choice.

    It is hygroscopic.
