unmoldable
This term describes a physical resistance to shaping, typically associated with materials that lack plasticity or fluidity. It carries a technical connotation, often appearing in industrial, chemical, or artistic contexts where the failure of a substance to conform to a mold is a critical limitation.
In a broader sense, the word suggests a state of rigidity or stubbornness. While primarily used for physical matter, it implies a definitive lack of flexibility that prevents the creation of a desired form, contrasting with materials that are malleable or ductile.
