Sorry, just Dacron® - (I'd got the polyester from another answer when searching for that term...); although Dacron seems to be made from polyester, there's no need to use it with the name.

I am fairly sure that all the refs. (such as exist) to "Dracon" are unreliable: putting "Dracon" (like that, with inverted commas) into Google retrieves no hits about fabric.
