scratch resistant
Resists surface marks
Scratch resistant describes materials or surfaces that withstand minor abrasion without showing marks.
The term appears frequently in marketing for eyeglasses, phone screens, and cookware: scratch-resistant coating, scratch-resistant finish.
Note that scratch resistant means harder to scratch, not impossible to scratch—a distinction manufacturers sometimes blur.
