The impermeable rock overlying an oil or gas reservoir that tends to prevent migration of the reservoir fluids from the reservoir. 5, record 1, English, - cap%20rock
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Oil and gas become trapped in the subsurface where there is a barrier formed by impermeable rocks, such as well-cemented lithologies, mudrock and evaporite beds. These impermeable lithologies are known as cap rocks. The hydrocarbons will find their way around the cap-rock barrier unless there is some form of hydrocarbon trap that prevents further upward migration. 6, record 1, English, - cap%20rock
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
All cap rocks are impermeable, therefore making the terms "impermeable cap rock" and "impervious cap rock" redundant. 7, record 1, English, - cap%20rock

Once a fabric is rendered impermeable as, for example, by impregnation and/or coating with vinyl, neoprene, elastomers, polyurethane, and so forth, an entirely new set of construction uses of fabrics arises. The fabric, being nonporous, can now be lifted by air to form an air-supported structure capable of wide variations of size and shape. it can also be water filled, taking the shape of the fabric under hydrostatic pressure to form various enclosures or barriers such as inflatable flood gates in tidal zones. Lastly, if the coating has structural stiffness, it, in itself, becomes a structural element. Its use is now unlimited for enclosures, roofs, partitions, and many other related uses. 1, record 12, English, - impermeable%20fabric

It lets perspiration vapour out and keeps it out when it changes into liquid. The inner layer of material is vapour-permeable but liquid-impermeable. This layer is laminated to an outer layer that easily absorbs vapour and liquid.
