unsealable

Impossible to secure

Unsealable describes something that cannot be sealed or closed securely.

A container might be unsealable because of damage or design flaws: The cracked lid made the jar unsealable.

The word also applies figuratively to things that resist containment: an unsealable border, unsealable leaks to the press.
