GLOSSARY TERM
Rheology
The study of the flow and deformation of paint, important for understanding its application properties.
INFO
What it is
Rheology is the study of how paint flows and deforms. It covers how a coating behaves as it is stirred, sprayed, and settles on a surface.
Why it matters
A paint's rheology determines how easily it sprays, how well it levels, and how it resists sagging and dripping. Understanding it helps in choosing products and applying them for the best finish.
Where it is used on a project
A behind-the-scenes property of every coating that becomes practical when matching products to surfaces and dialling in spray settings.
How NECC approaches it
We draw on experience and product data to apply coatings in a way that suits their flow characteristics, achieving even coverage without sags or runs.
