Pot life is the time from mixing the components together to the point at which the mixed product is no longer useable. It is also known as the useable life. Pot life is often thought of as the length of time that a mixed (catalysed) coating system retains a viscosityThe viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickn... stable enough to be applied to a surface.
