sticking Explanation: “Lubricant oil is generally supplied between the extruded tube and the crosslinking cylinder inside surface for the purpose of reducing the friction therebetween to prevent resin seizing.” - https://patents.google.com/patent/US4840552 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2021-02-22 14:05:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It means sticking to the surface it’s in contact with. Binding might be more appropriate. seize: to bind or fasten together with a lashing of small stuff (such as yarn, marline, or fine wire) - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/seize |

"... unable to move it easily..."; "...no longer works..." Explanation: Hello, I think the senses below of "seize" might fit the bill: [intransitive] (North American English) (also seize up British and North American English) if a machine seizes, it no longer works because the parts are stuck and cannot move (North American English) (also seize up British and North American English) if a part of your body seizes, you are unable to move it easily and it is often painful.
