puncture-resistant
Resists sharp objects
Puncture-resistant describes materials designed to withstand piercing by sharp objects: puncture-resistant tires, puncture-resistant gloves.
The term appears frequently in product specifications for protective gear, packaging, and safety equipment.
Puncture-resistant doesn't mean puncture-proof—the material resists but may still be pierced under enough force.
