stain blocker

Spill resistance layer

A stain blocker is a coating or treatment that prevents stains from penetrating a surface.

Applied to fabrics, carpets, or wood, it creates a barrier that repels liquids and makes spills easier to clean: The carpet came with a stain blocker already applied.

In painting, a stain-blocking primer prevents old stains from bleeding through new paint.
