Reduction of viscosity or consistency, under isothermal and reversible conditions, by the application of shear from the viscosity or consistency at rest (immediately after beginning to shear) to a final value (dependent on the magnitude of the shear rate). When the shear is discontinued, the viscosity or consistency at rest must be re-established within a certain time, the "time of thixotropic recovery".

Dans des conditions isothermes et réversibles, diminution de la viscosité, sous l'effet du cisaillement, à partir de la viscosité au repos (immédiatement après le début du cisaillement) jusqu'à la valeur finale (dépendante de la vitesse de cisaillement). Lorsque le cisaillement cesse, la valeur de la viscosité au repos doit être retrouvée après un certain temps, le «temps de recouvrance».

Thixotropic inks are those which have initial body, but soften when agitated or worked. Inks of high yield value are called "short" inks and have the consistency of butter or mayonnaise. Those with low yield value are said to be "long," having flow properties like honey. 3, record 2, English, - thixotropy
