Anything that does not allow permeation of water or other liquids. So think dense, thick, solid, smooth, or sealed surfaces

Examples:

metals:

stainless steel

steel

aluminum

chrome

vinyl

finished wood

laminate countertops

certain types of tiles or tiles that have been sealed to be nonporous (e.g. bathroom or kitchen tiles)

certain types of paper

glass

porcelain

Is stainless steel a nonporous surface?

Yes, we generally consider stainless steel to be a nonporous surface.


What is epoxy glue used for at a crime scene?

Epoxy glue can be used at a crime scene to lift latent fingerprints from nonporous surfaces. It is applied over the fingerprint, allowed to harden, and then peeled off to preserve the print before it is examined by forensic experts.


What are examples of impermeable surfaces?

Examples of impermeable surfaces include concrete, asphalt, metal, and plastic. These surfaces do not allow water to pass through, leading to increased surface runoff and potential flooding.


What is the difference between hard non-porous surface and soft non-porous surface?

I was curious as to the exact definition of these porous and nonporous because every time I picked up a cleaning supply it would always mention something about whether the product could be used on one or how to treat the area differently depending on whether it was one versus the other. Interestingly enough, a simple google search proved to be much more mystifying and arduous than I would have ever imagine because there was no straightforward answer and all the links characterizing porous v nonporous surfaces were mostly from scientific journals or .edu sites. But to be as concise and brief as possible, from what I gathered, there are a wide array of factors and characteristics to consider for any given material to determine porosity but the main gist is: Porous surfaces are anything that can be penetrated into beyond its outer surface due to either small or narrow spaces which allows absorption, low density, etc. It is porous, or not impermiable. Water, or any other liquid can pass through, for example. Nonporous surfaces on the other hand tend to be thick, dense, and solid do that nothing can permeate it beyond its outer-most surface. Examples of porous and nonporous materials: Porous: fabrics, unvarnished (unfinished) woods, cotton, carpeting, and unsealed tiles (depends on tile type but most need laminate) Nonporous: solid plastics, metal objects (stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, etc), glass of all forms, ceramic surfaces like dishes etc, varnished wood, laminate counters, granite, and vinyl


Is drywall nonporous?

Drywall is VERY porous .


What are examples of high friction surfaces?

Some examples of relatively high friction surfaces are: sand paper, grass, and asphalt. In general, the rougher the surface, the more friction it has.


What are some examples of reflective objects?

Some examples of reflective objects include mirrors, glass windows, polished metal surfaces, and water surfaces on a calm day.


What is an easy clean material?

Stainless steel is a good material for easy cleaning as it is nonporous and does not absorb dirt or grime. Other materials that are easy to clean include glass and ceramic due to their smooth surfaces that can be easily wiped down.


What are the examples of things with smooth surface?

Examples of things with smooth surfaces include glass windows, polished metal surfaces, ceramic tiles, and marble countertops.


What objects have curved surfaces?

A cone, cylinder and a sphere are three examples.


What are two examples of two surfaces that have a high coefficient of friction?

Sandpaper and asphalt both have relatively high coefficients of friction.
