sprayable

Can

Sprayable describes something that can be applied as a spray—liquid dispersed in fine droplets through air pressure or an aerosol mechanism.

The term appears in product descriptions and technical contexts: sprayable sunscreen, sprayable adhesive, sprayable insulation.

A substance is sprayable if its viscosity allows it to be atomized rather than requiring brushing or pouring.
