... . Fillers -- Finely divided inert material, such as pulverized limestone, silica, or colloidal substances, sometimes added to portland cement paint or other materials to reduce shrinkage, improve workability, or act as an extender or material used to fill an opening in a form (ACI 116)

... It is computed as the slope of the shear stress versus shear rate curve measurements. Mixtures with high plastic viscosity are often described as "sticky" or "cohesive." Concrete with higher plastic viscosity takes longer to flow.
