Dacron
Wrinkle-resistant textile
Dacron is a trademark for a type of polyester fiber or fabric, known for being strong, wrinkle-resistant, and quick-drying.
It's used in clothing, sails, and industrial applications.
The name is often used generically for polyester fabric: a Dacron shirt, Dacron sails.
Like many trademarks, it appears both capitalized and lowercase in casual use.
