scratch-resistant
Resists surface damage
Scratch-resistant describes materials or coatings designed to resist surface damage from abrasion: scratch-resistant lenses, scratch-resistant phone screens.
The term implies durability against everyday wear, not invulnerability—scratches can still occur under enough force or with sharp enough objects.
