👉 The UNSEAM fluid, often referred to simply as the UNSEAM fluid, is a synthetic, non-Newtonian fluid developed by Unimate Systems (now part of SABIC) that exhibits unique flow properties. Unlike traditional fluids, the UNSEAM fluid's viscosity changes in response to applied shear stress, meaning it becomes less viscous (thinner) when agitated or stressed and more viscous (thicker) when at rest. This behavior is attributed to the presence of long polymer chains that align and entangle under shear, reducing internal friction. This adaptability makes the UNSEAM fluid ideal for applications requiring controlled flow, such as in precision machining, inkjet printing, and medical devices, where it can smoothly transition between different states to ensure optimal performance and precision.
