self-sealing
Seals without help
Self-sealing describes something designed to seal itself automatically, typically after being punctured or opened.
A self-sealing tire contains material that flows into punctures to prevent air loss.
Self-sealing envelopes have adhesive strips that stick when pressed together, requiring no moisture: Just peel the backing and press the flap down.
