Everyday examples
Modern paints are examples of pseudoplastic materials. When modern paints are applied, the shear created by
the brush or roller will allow them to thin and wet out the surface evenly. Once applied, the paints regain their
higher viscosity, which avoids drips and runs. Ketchup is a shear-thinning fluid.
