tearproof
Won't rip apart
Tearproof describes material resistant to tearing or ripping: tearproof envelopes, tearproof paper.
The word appears most often in product descriptions for durable goods—shipping materials, outdoor gear, children's books.
Like waterproof or fireproof, it promises protection against a specific hazard, though the claim may be relative rather than absolute.
