Wikipedia
nonporous
Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. Strictly speaking, some tests measure the "accessible void", the total amount of void space accessible from the surface (cf. closed-cell foam). There are many ways to test porosity in a substance or part, such as industrial CT scanning. The term porosity is used in multiple fields including pharmaceutics, ceramics, metallurgy, materials, manufacturing, petrophysics, hydrology, earth sciences, soil mechanics, and engineering.

Nonporous refers to materials or surfaces that do not have pores, gaps or spaces, thus cannot absorb or allow the passage of liquids, air or microscopic entities. Items made from nonporous materials are typically hard to the touch and resistant to staining and water absorption.
