The movement of a ductile material under pressure.
Helpful?           0
Steady deformation of a pressure sensitive adhesive under stress.
Helpful?           0
The tendency of a pressure sensitive adhesive to act like a heavy, viscous liquid over long periods of time. Such phenomena aw "oozing" or "increased in adhesion" are the results of this characteristic.
Helpful?           0
(r) slow deformation, under gravitational force, at or below room temperature.
Helpful?           0
Application and Use Deformation of an adhesive layer (or film) at room temperature without an externally applied load.
Helpful?           0
The tendency of a pressure sensitive adhesive to act like a heavy viscous liquid over long periods of time. Such phenomena, as oozing and increases in adhesion, are the result of this characteristic.
Helpful?           0
Any permanent deformation due to pressure or mechanical force, without the aid of eat softening.
Helpful?           0
continued deformation under stress. See creep.
Helpful?           0
The tendency of a pressure sensitive adhesive to move, over a long period of time. Reels of laminate stored on end may show that the adhesive has flowed downwards towards the base.
Helpful?           0
Continued deformation under stress, term usually used when describing the characteristics of Teflon.
Helpful?           0
The degree to which a material changes or distorts over time when subjected to tensile or compression stresses.
Helpful?           0
The flow of a Pressure Sensitive adhesive under pressure or stress.
Helpful?           0
slow deformation of polymer or uncured rubber due to its liquid-like state; sometimes due to simple gravity, but also through imposed force
Helpful?           0
A change in the shape or the dimensions of a plastic part when subjected to a load (weight or pressure) at room temperature.
Helpful?           0
Relatively slow deformation of a material at or below room temperature. See CREEP.
Helpful?           0
Irreversible damage of the insulation due to the mechanical force of pressure.
Helpful?           0
change in dimensions or shape of some materials when subjected to external weight or pressure at room temperature
Helpful?           0
The dimensional change or deformation that occurs over a period of time when a material is subjected to constant stress at a constant temperature; also called creep.
Helpful?           0
Continued deformation or movement under stress
Helpful?           0
The flow of a PS adhesive under pressure or stress.
Helpful?           0
Movement of insulation (e.g. Teflon) caused by pressure. Creep.
Helpful?           0
Permanent deformation of the insulation due to mechanical force or pressure (not due to heat softening).
Helpful?           0
Continued deformation or "creep" of a material under constant stress.
Helpful?           0
nbspThe flow of a PS adhesive under pressure or stress.
Helpful?           0
The permanent deformation of a material due to mechanical force or pressure and not due to heat softening.
Helpful?           0
A term describing the tendency of certain materials to continue to deform or "creep" under constant sealing pressure (compressive load).
Helpful?           0
The flow of a P.S. adhesive under pressure or stress.
