humidity-resistant

Unaffected by moisture

Humidity-resistant describes materials or products designed to withstand moisture in the air without degrading, warping, or losing function.

The term appears on packaging for building materials, electronics, and storage containers: humidity-resistant drywall for bathrooms, humidity-resistant coating.

Unlike waterproof, it handles ambient dampness rather than direct water contact.
