porous material
Explanation:
As opposed to "non-poreux", that is, the porous material is the one capable of absorbing moisture and permeable by liquids.

DICTIONNAIRE TECHNIQUE - H. MINK - HERDER

For example:

Protéger le poreux
Pour protéger pierre naturelle, béton brut, granit, marbre non poli, etc., nous appliquons un produit hydrofuge et oléofuge qui laisse respirer le support (vapeurs d'eau et autres échanges gazeux).

Protéger le non-poreux
Sur les surfaces non poreuses, nous utilisons, à part la peinture antigraffiti courante, un vernis à base de résines polyuréthanes à deux composants. Résistant aux rayons UV et aux solvants, il peut s'appliquer en ultramat ou en brillant
