The process or property of resisting gradual deformation or movement; acting against material creep.
From anti- + creeping (present participle of creep). As a gerund noun, it names the action; as an adjective, it describes things with this property.
Engineers test anticreeping properties by putting materials under stress for years—sometimes the test itself becomes the product, as when manufacturers discover a 'creeping' problem that no one noticed for decades.
