German term or phrase: fließfreudig
From the technical specification of a binder spreader: "Der Einsatz von XXX (equipment feature) ist empfehlenswert beim Streuen fließfreudiger Streugüter."

The "Streugüter" are powders like cement or lime, so I don't think I can use "viscous" here. Any bright ideas out there?
