Abstract
Various methods of characterising the thixotropic properties of an oil in water lotion are described. Stress relaxation behaviour, which can be expressed over a range of shear rates by a single empirical equation, is shown to be more informative than the measurement of hysteresis loops. Relaxation rate depends upon previous shear treatment which suggests that more than one process occurs during breakdown.Keywords
