Coated fabric

Hi all,
I am looking for a kind of fabric that is, I think, cotton with a clear coating to make it more durable as well as wipeable. When I google coated fabric, all I find is industrial stuff, or outdoor fabrics. Also, I remember someone telling me about a clear coating that you can put on whatever fabric yourself. What is that product called, and has anyone worked with it? Is it really worth it, or will it start coming off after a while? I would like to make purses etc. using this.
Thanks!

Oh, no wonder I didn't find what I was looking for. Laminated cotton. Now, does anybody know whether there is a laminate that you can apply to any fabric you want, so you wouldn't depend on the selection of laminated fabrics available?

I've used the iron-on vinyl and it worked well. I used it on a wall hanging for protection, but it sewed well and looks nice. The drawback is that it's not very wide.
Many quilt stores now sell some of the laminated fabrics.
