What fabric or material is most durable for a drafting stool in a workshop or lab?

For workshop or lab environments, vinyl (polyurethane or PVC) is the most practical upholstery — it resists chemical spills, oils, and stains, and can be sanitized repeatedly without fabric degradation. Anti-microbial vinyl is available for cleanroom and medical applications. Fabric upholstery absorbs contaminants and is inappropriate for industrial or lab settings.
