dustproofing
Keeping grit out
Dustproofing is the process of sealing or protecting something against dust infiltration.
The term applies to manufacturing processes, protective coatings, and design features that prevent fine particles from entering sensitive equipment: The camera's dustproofing makes it suitable for desert photography.
Electronic devices, watches, and industrial machinery often advertise their dustproofing ratings.
