dripless
Leaves no drops
Dripless describes candles, paint, or other substances designed not to drip during use.
A dripless candle burns without wax running down the sides.
Dripless paint stays where applied without streaking.
The term is primarily commercial—a selling point rather than an absolute guarantee: dripless tapers for the dining room.
