One very useful method to predict creaming is to measure the cohesive energy density, as given by Equation (21.9), ... 

The most common fillers used are barytes, especially because of their off-white to cream and even dark brown colour, which renders them particularly suitable for wood. They are used generally in the proportion of 35 to 40% of the total adhesive system but can be used even up to 50%. The primary aim of the filler is to reduce costs, but it has also a positive effect on the cohesive strength of the adhesive, and gives to the molten adhesive some body .
