In chemistry, a mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances on which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions, and colloids.

In the industrial or industry context, a mixture refers to a combination of two or more substances in which each retains its individual chemical properties. An example of a mixture in the industrial context could be a solution made by mixing two chemicals together, such as salt dissolved in water. Another example could be a mixture of different metals in an alloy, such as brass which is a mixture of copper and zinc.
