amestec


Definition from own experience or research:
"Amestec" de fibre este traducerea in limba romana a cuvintelor din limba engleza fabric "blend" sau "mixture"; este un termen consacrat in industria textila, utilizat mult mai des decat termenul francez "melanj".

Example sentence(s):
  • "S.C. IAŞITEX S.A. este specializată în producerea şi comercializarea de fire, ţesături şi confecţii textile, realizate din bumbac 100% sau în diferite amestecuri procentuale de bumbac cu alte fibre sintetice..." - company's website  
  • "In unele cazuri, un amestec de sintetic cu natural poate fi cea mai buna solutie pentru tapiserii, pentru acoperirea podelelor si/sau a ferestrelor. Amestecurile de fibre sunt calitativ superioare, pentru ca au rezistenta materialelor sintetice si calitatile celor naturale." - industrial definitions
