A non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity decreases as the applied shear rate increases, a process that is also termed shear thinning.

The property of a fluid whose viscosity decreases with rate of shear.

having the capability of changing apparent viscosity with a change in shear rate. Pseudoplastic fluids gain viscosity when subjected to a decrease in shear rate, and lose viscosity when the shear rate is increased. See shear.

a term used to describe a material that "stacks" when placed, and with a little bit of instrumentation by the dentist, it flows easily
