adhesive Explanation: in fact it's a "sticky" material, but that is too informal for the context it's a transitive verb so usually you would say what it was adhering to -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 51 mins (2005-05-24 09:48:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Revêtement d\'usure anti-colmatant ...

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2clogging etc. Explanation: Depends what is being done with the material. If they are excavating with diggers, it will stick to the buckets, so "sticky" would be appropriate. If they are pumping the material out, it will stick to the pipes, pumps, etc. and clog them , so "clogging" would be appropriate (that is the primary meaning of the word). If drilling, "clogging" might also be the best choice. Etc., etc. |
