French term

Housse thermo soudée résistante et non perforante 80μm

French to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Packaging
This appears in some specifications with regard to the Supplier's obligations during packaging/delivery:

Here is an example of how it appears in the text:

b. Emballage sous housse :
Housse de protection intérieure, scellage par larges bandes adhésives

Ou
Enveloppement total du produit par 2 tours de feuilles à cellules pneumatiques.
Protection des accoudoirs, des pieds, des parties saillantes ainsi que la toile du dessous par carton ondulé
double face.
=>Housse thermo soudée résistante et non perforante 80μm , scellage par larges bandes adhésives.

My attempt would be: =>80μm heat-welded unperforated sheet

Could anyone help me to hone this? Many thanks in advance for your contributions.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

OK
Louise Etheridge (asker) Apr 27, 2015:
Thanks for all your contributions, which have given food for thought. This is the type of packaging involved, which is used to wrap furniture/appliances.

http://www.americover.com/heavy_duty_plastic_sheeting_34_ctg...

Anyway, thanks to all your contributions, I'm sure I'll manage to come up with something that conveys the meaning, even though I can't seem to find an exact term for this type of plastic sheeting.
José Patrício Apr 27, 2015:
Plastic welding i.e. welding for semi-finished plastic materials is described in ISO 472 as a process of uniting softened surfaces of materials, generally with the .
Wendy Streitparth Apr 27, 2015:
Thanks, Chris. Despite it being there in black and white, I think I will have to steer clear of the issue. Sealing isn't necessarily hermetically sealed, so can't one then say that two layers are sealed together?
chris collister Apr 27, 2015:
@ Wendy Indeed we do! Read all about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_welding
Wendy Streitparth Apr 27, 2015:
Thanks, Tony. You live and learn.
Tony M Apr 27, 2015:
@ Wendy Oh yes, very definitely!

As Chris points out, if this 'housse' is in some way fitted (to the shape of the object, for example), then it may well have welded corner seams, say — but almost certainly not actually be sealed; a kind of 'shaped bag', perhaps.

Heat welding is a common techniique with lots of plastic materials, and down to even quite thing sheet thicknesses — as here 80 µ (not all THAT thin, actually — 100 µ would be 0.1 mm, so quite thick as plastic sheeting goes).
Wendy Streitparth Apr 27, 2015:
@ Chris: Can one really use "welded" for something like thin plastic sheeting? To my completely inexpert ear it sounds utterly wrong: I associate welding with metal or at least something solid.
chris collister Apr 27, 2015:
@ Nikki I have a pedantic issue with "heat-sealed": it is certainly true that a bag of sandwiches can be heat-sealed, but the process of sealing is that of fusing the two surfaces together, ie welding. Suppose, hypothetically, that the cover were to be welded at spatial intervals. This would then be welded, but not necessarily sealed. I'd be inclined to drop the "heat" bit and just stick with "welded".
Another very pedantic distinction can be made in differentiating "strong" from "tough", which are different properties in the eyes of a materials scientist!
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Apr 26, 2015:
This is some sort of cover which has the following qualities:
- résistante : strong/tough/heavy-duty
- thermo-soudée : heat-sealed
- non-perforante : means that the material the cover is made from does not hole easily.
Johannes Gleim Apr 26, 2015:
What is the problematic term?  The phrase "Housse thermo soudée résistante et non perforante 80μm" contains 8 words.
"housse" is a blanket or cover.
"thermo soudée" is another term (perhaps the most problematic), separated from "résistante" acc. MHO.
"résistante" is self-explaining.
"non perforante" means cannot be perforated.
Please post a question for each unclear term!

Your approach "heat-welded unperforated sheet" contains some errors.
"heat-welded" is no professional term.
"unperforated" is completely wrong, as Tony a ready mentioned.
"sheet" is no translation of "housse".
"résistante" is omitted.
chris collister Apr 26, 2015:
Do you know what material the "housse" is made of? I assume it's PVC or some other flexible polymer, in which case welding would indeed be with heat, though the energy input is often provided by radio-frequency waves or ultrasonically. As Tony says, "strong, punture-resistant ... "
Louise Etheridge (asker) Apr 26, 2015:
Thanks for your input Tony. The specifications refer to the protection of mattresses, divans, hobs, domestic appliances, etc.
Tony M Apr 26, 2015:
@ Asker A few points:

A 'housse' usually implies more than just a sheet — possibly some kind of bag or fitted cover — you don't actually explain what article is being protected here?

'non perforante' doesn't mean 'unperforated' (perforé) — it presumably means 'puncture-resistant' or somesuch.

'résistante' needs to be rendered as well.

80 µ sturdy, puncture-resistant fitted cover / bag with heat-welded seams

Strictly speaking, you don't really need the 'heat-' part, as that is pretty much a given. It might have been more explicit had the source text mentioned it is made of plastic — but as it doesn't, you can't really add it in!

I think whether you call it a cover or a (jolly big!) bag doesn't really matter too much — but the 'fitted' notion is useful for rendering the idea of 'housse' and also explaining why it needs welded seams!

Yes, I know just the sort of thing you mean! It is very often sealed up using adhesive tape to close the opening, but the 'welds' will be where the 'corners' are joined to make the flat sheet into a fitted box / bag / cover shape.
Note from asker:
Ok, many thanks Tony. Yes, it definitely refers to plastic (as there are pictures in the text). Shame I couldn't post them... But as you say, it's that plastic wrap that protects furniture during delivery/transit.
Yes, I see what you mean. Well, we got there in the end. Thanks for all your help on this.

French term (edited): thermo soudée

heat-sealed

I suppose that you wanted a translation for "thermo soudée". I know the English term "heat sealed" form my former activities, which corresponds to "thermosoudée".

Heat sealing is the process of sealing one thermoplastic to another similar thermoplastic using heat and pressure.[1] The direct contact method of heat sealing utilizes a constantly heated die or sealing bar to apply heat to a specific contact area or path to seal or weld the thermoplastics together. Heat sealing is used for many applications, including heat seal connectors, thermally activated adhesives, film media, plastic ports or foil sealing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sealer

Un soude sachet ou soudeuse de table ou soudeuse à impulsion (impulse sealer en anglais) est un petit appareil électroménager ou de laboratoire qui convient à la fermeture hermétique des sachets plastiques, pour l'emballage de denrées alimentaires, d'échantillons ou de pièces.
Il utilise le principe de la thermosoudure, appliqué aux polymères thermoplastiques (PE, PP). Les modèles peuvent être équipés d'un thermostat réglable, d'un dispositif de mise sous vide et de coupe du film au moyen d'une lame coulissante intégrée. La pression du levier sur le sachet d'épaisseur convenable déclenche le chauffage d'une bande (préférée à un fil électrique) pendant quelques secondes. Les appareils professionnels, plus robustes et chers, sont métalliques.

La soudure plastique est un ensemble de techniques utilisées pour souder deux pièces en matière plastique. Le choix d'une technique particulière est lié au type de plastique utilisé, la géométrie des pièces à assembler, le temps de cycle de soudure requis ainsi que le coût des moyens à mettre en œuvre. Ces techniques de soudure sont basées sur un échauffement local des matériaux à souder. L'échauffement des matériaux se fait, selon la technique utilisée, soit par un apport extérieur de chaleur soit par création de chaleur provoquée par le process lui-même
