deflocculating
I believe this is used as an adjective here - as in "deflocculating action".

deflocculent
Flocculent means "The process by which individual particles of clay aggregate into clotlike masses or precipitate into small lumps. Flocculation occurs as a result of a chemical reaction between the clay particles and another substance, usually salt water.", so deflocculent means not aggregating into clotlike masses or precipitate into small lumps, meaning spreading out of the lumps.
