Separate the claims
Dimatex’s product explanation distinguishes antifluid repellency from waterproofing. ACT separately discusses stain-repellent finishes as a technical subject. Neither source establishes the performance of the Mingpin swatch shown here. A category label should therefore lead to a documented question, not an automatic promise about the whole furniture assembly.
Write the buyer’s actual requirement
Our recommended enquiry identifies the liquid, contact duration, cleaning procedure and whether protection is required only at the face or through the assembly. Ask how seams and joins are treated. If the supplier offers a backing or finish option, request evidence for that exact option rather than rely on a generic video.
Use a controlled comparison
Compare the base reference and proposed finish using an agreed method, including any effect on hand and appearance. Do not invent a waterproof rating or treat a short demonstration as a lifetime guarantee. The 26-302 photo is a physical texture reference only. Ask Mingpin which finishes, if any, are available and validated for your use.
