That is, since the liquid separating agent of the present invention forms a uniform system, under conditions such as heat treatment, long-term storage or centrifugation operation, the phase separation phenomenon of the separation layer forming material and the thixotropic agent There is no need to worry, and it will not cause deterioration of the function as a partition or contamination due to oil separation. Further, in terms of manufacturing, the conventional liquid separating agent using an insoluble fine powder thixotropic agent requires an inefficient dispersion / kneading process using a three-roll or kneader, whereas it is simply heated and melted. Since it can be manufactured only by itself, the manufacturing cost is extremely low. Furthermore, when treating the used liquid separating agent, there is no trouble due to the generation of ash, and the incineration treatment can be performed very easily.
