Explanation
A fluid whose shear stress (or viscosity) decreases with time under fH at constant temperature and shear rate, and becomes viscous with time at rest. In the micro state, thixotropic fluid generally has a network structure of physical crosslinking: when agitated, these structures are destroyed; when stationary, the structure is formed again. A typical example is paint.
