spillable

Prone to spilling

Spillable describes something that can be spilled—typically a liquid or loose material capable of escaping its container.

The term appears most often in safety contexts, warning labels, and product descriptions: spillable batteries contain liquid acid that can leak, unlike sealed alternatives.

Something spillable requires careful handling during transport or storage.

Keep spillable liquids away from electronics.
