solvent
a liquid, solid, or gas that dissolves another solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution that is soluble in a certain volume of solvent at a specified temperature

For example a change of solvent in a mixture may mean that the gloves you use no longer provide adequate protection and a different glove material may be needed, or the equipment you use to monitor airborne concentrations of the solvent may need to be adjusted to measure the new solvent.
