texture

is the property of a lubricating grease which is observed when a small portion of it is compressed and the pressure slowly released. Texture should be described in the following terms: brittle — has a tendency to rupture or crumble when separated; buttery — separates in short peaks with no visible fibers; long fiber — shows short break-off with evidence of fibers; resilient — capable of withstanding moderate compression without permanent deformation or rupture; stringy — shows tendency to stretch or string out into long fine threads, but with no visible evidence of fiber structure.
