... manufacturers came to realize that fiberglass skis with plastic soles move much faster over snow than wooden skis do, largely because of the water-repellent qualities of plastics. ... Skiers on wooden skis generally found wet snow extremely slow going: the fibers in wood swell with water and thus roughen the soles of the skis, increasing the friction. 5, record 1, English, - water%2Drepellent

Hydrophobic. Literally meaning "water-hating", this term describes substances which repel water and thus are difficult to "wet" or emulsify. Most notable of these are fats, waxes and oils, but this property also is found in many solids in finely divided form, e.g., carbon black, magnesium carbonate, and metal powders. Rubber is notably hydrophobic, as are many synthetic polymers. In liquids, this property is often due to differences in surface tension. 4, record 3, English, - hydrophobic
