Thanks to both, Ken Cox and Milligen. Since there is also a specific German term for wetting behavior in polymers, I was reluctant to go with it as the right one for "Anfließverhalten"

outflowing properties


Explanation:
I know the term "anfliessen" only in the welding/metal casting context. In this context, the term refers to the outflowing of e.g. solder when heated and the way in which it spreads over the supporting material.
