Black fabric under front slide

Hi--wondering if anyone knows the name of the fabric like material Montana used under it's slides--and where to get some? My front slide on our 3811 has a black almost plastic like fabric under the bottom that it slides on as it comes back into the coach--the other slides have metal bottoms and slide in over rollers--why they make this one different I don't have a clue--anyway although our unit is only 2 years old we have a long grove like cut in part of it where it is rubbing on something as it comes in--and now water damage to the underlying particle board...thanks

The black "tarp" like material under the slide is called Darco.
Chuck wrote up an excellent repair for it

Great info!!---the wear I have is not right on the edge--it's about 4-5 in in from the edge--when I picked up the carpet inside I could see a piece of plastic sticking up from the roll bar thing like a little tooth that had been scraping the darco and was the cause of the wear--now we have some water damage to the underlying wood flooring from the rain . We have an extended warranty so hopefully it's covered--if not I think Chucks repair will do the job!!

It sounds like the slide/roller bar assembly may be out of adjustment.
