Samples were activated either during mixing or post-production under different temperatures and time conditions. The graph on Figure 2 illustrates the initial and return viscosity values, highlighting the effectiveness of the new activation approach.<br \/>Post-production activation at various temperatures and times achieves comparable or higher initial viscosity compared to traditional in-process activation.<br \/>Return point values indicate thixotropic recovery after shear. To further assess the thixotropic recovery and structural stability of the sealant, interval thixotropy tests were performed. The loss factor (tan(\u03b4)) was measured over time, simulating the transition from in-cartridge storage, through extrusion, to post-application rest. Both in-process and post-production activation methods were evaluated at 24 hours and after 21 days of storage at 50\u00b0 C. The results demonstrate robust recovery and stable viscous behavior for both approaches, supporting the effectiveness of post-production activation (Fig. 3).<br \/>Left panel in Figure 3: shows samples activated during mixing. Right panel in Figure 3: Shows samples activated postproduction. We measured their behavior after 24 hours of activation and again after 21 days at 50\u00b0 C. The dashed line at tan(\u03b4) = 1 separates fluid-like (more liquid) from solid-like (more elastic) behavior. Both activation methods show good recovery and stable, viscous performance after being applied. These results clearly show that post-production activation with Thixatrol<span class=\"s1\">\u00ae <\/span>AS 8053 delivers performance equal to or better than traditional in-process activation. The data on Figure 3 demonstrates that this innovative approach not only matches the effectiveness of established methods but also offers additional process flexibility and efficiency.
