The \b[<critical coagulation concentration>] is the <electrolyte> concentration at which rapid, approximately diffusion-limited <colloidal coagulation> begins: the electrostatic barrier has become ineffective and nearly every sufficiently close encounter sticks. It is an operational threshold for the specified <colloid> and <electrolyte>, not a universal concentration or a guarantee of a mathematically exact zero barrier in every system.
