longest-lasting

Outlasts all others

Longest-lasting describes something that endures or persists for the greatest duration compared to alternatives: the longest-lasting battery on the market, their longest-lasting friendship.

The hyphen joins the compound when it precedes a noun; without the hyphen, the phrase works as a predicate: This brand lasts longest.
