Yeah most space age material names are. It’s dacron wrapped in mylar surmounted in inconel plated in clyno and attached with velcro. Which of those did I make up?
You’ll hear Dacron in the aviation industry, to refer to “naked cloth” coverings like you see on ultralights, in contrast to something like poly-fiber which is the modern equivalent of cloth and dope.

I know that Mylar, Inconel and Velcro are real, so it’s a toss-up between Dacron and Clyno.
After consulting an online source, I vote that Clyno is the imposter.
I have only heard some old-fashioned sailors and marketing people call it Dacron, everybody else has settled on polyester
