nonsticky
Releases without resistance
Nonsticky describes surfaces or substances that don't adhere to other materials: nonsticky cookware, a nonsticky coating.
The term appears in product descriptions for pans, bandages, and food packaging.
Figuratively rare, but something nonsticky might be easy to remove or forget—the opposite of what clings or persists.
