Tant de variantes engendrent la confusion. Un exemple : matière inerte. Pour certains auteurs, la matière inerte se rapporte à la matière de charge, le support de la matière active dans les poudres pour poudrage. Pour d'autres, cette substance désigne tous les ingrédients, autres que la matière active, qui constituent une formulation (par exemple les adjuvants, les mouillants, les émulsifiants, les adhésifs, etc.). Cependant, il serait peut-être plus exact de faire coïncider matière inerte et matière de charge, étant donné que cette dernière est totalement inerte. 4, record 1, French, - ingr%C3%A9dient%20inerte
