What does high viscosity mean?
High viscosity (highly viscous) means lower flow ability; low viscosity (of low viscosity) means better flow ability,
Example:
- Honey = highly viscous
- Water = of low viscosity
Liquids with a high viscosity spread more slowly on the surface of the adherend (joining part).
Are all hot-melt adhesives highly viscous?
The information on the viscosity of a hot-melt adhesive is part of the technical data, which is shown in the processing data sheet of the product.
In the case of hot-melt adhesives, the lower the test temperature, the more viscous the adhesive.
