noncaking

Resists becoming lumpy

Noncaking describes a substance that resists clumping or hardening into solid masses.

The term appears most often on salt containers and other granular products: noncaking salt, noncaking fertilizer.

Additives prevent moisture from binding particles together, keeping the product free-flowing.
