This one is not an adjective, but a noun.

If you need an adjective, I think "трудолюбивый" is the only option.

Oops, you're right! I just saw he asked for adjectives

Workaholic is a noun which rarely is used as an adjective (The world is used as an adjective in the new book of Dan Brown). But is true that I asked for adjectives because I didn't expect to exist a noun in Russia ... obviously I was wrong.

Yes, that's much better!

long-lasting - долгоиграющий (slang)

Долгоиграющая батарейка, долгоиграющий леденец
