The blended metal oxides... Explanation: allow for the Titan lacquer's structure (viscosity [consistency]) to react smoothly while at a reduced level. Since it concerns a liquid, 'malleable' is not the best of words because it refers to solids (and figuratively), e.g. clay is malleable. I think they mean "viscosity" or at least "consistency" when they talk about 'structure'. They should have used "Beschaffenheit" instead of 'Struktur'. |
