In adhesive technology, stability describes the ability of a liquid adhesive to maintain its shape or position as much as possible. High stability is an important feature for many adhesives in various applications.

The stability is influenced by various factors, such as chemical composition or density. The manufacturing process and processing can also influence the stability.

There are various methods to measure and evaluate the stability of materials. For example, material samples can be tested under loading or shear forces to determine their strength and stiffness.

A stable adhesive is a product that does not drip or run when applied because it has little flow. This is particularly important when applying to vertical or overhead surfaces.
