What does visco-elastic mean?
Visco-elastic materials exhibit the qualities of a viscous liquid and elastomeric solid. Behaving in a manner similar to honey, viscous liquids flowing from a container will pull partly back into the container when it is quickly tipped up. Visco-elastic polymers behave more like solids at low temperatures and at fast deformation speeds. They are more like liquids at high temperatures and slow deformation speeds. GEL SMART’s M-GEL mineral-oil gels are visco-elastic compounds.
