rubberized
Made waterproof, flexible
Rubberized means coated or treated with rubber to make something waterproof, durable, or slip-resistant: a rubberized canvas tarp, rubberized grip handles.
The process bonds rubber to fabric, metal, or other materials.
Common in outdoor gear, protective clothing, and industrial applications where water resistance or friction matters.
