2. Slipcover - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipcover

   They are fabricated to the exact shape of the furniture, and the cushions are slipcovered separately from the frame. Slipcover material is usually a stretchable fabric, a polyester blend (polyester, cotton, and elastane). Bi-elastic fabric can be stretched both vertically and horizontally for a perfect fit.

3. Scotchgard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotchgard

   In 1938 Roy J. Plunket, a recent hire at DuPont, discovered polytetrafluoroethylene (or Teflon)—a fluoropolymer that led to the invention of synthetic rubbers. [2] His early discovery led 3M scientists to develop the formula for Scotchgard, discovered by accident in 1953 when Joan Mullan—a 3M lab technician—spilled a few drops of a fluorochemical liquid destined for rubber jet fuel hoses ...

4. Fabric treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabric_treatment

   Fabric. Fabric treatments are processes that make fabric softer, or water resistant, or enhance dye penetration after they are woven. [1] Fabric treatments get applied when the textile itself cannot add other properties. [2] Treatments include, scrim, foam lamination, fabric protector or stain repellent, anti microbial and flame retardant. [2]

5. SuperFabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperFabric

   As a technical fabric, SuperFabric is created with a base fabric such as nylon, polyester, neoprene, crepe, etc. and is overlaid with tiny, hard guard plates in a specific pattern. Spacings between the guard plates allow a degree of flexibility, breathability and are small enough to keep most sharp objects from penetrating.
