English translation: roughened/roughening

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Rauung (in this context)
English translation:roughened/roughening
Entered by: Jon Fedler

Medical - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Plastics
German term or phrase: Rauung (in this context)
The full phrase is "*Rauung* im Handbereich zur besseren Griffigkeit gegen Aufpreis.

This is for a promotion for a polymer-based protective hand covering

Leo has no entry for Raung, but for rauen it cites three textile-base words to nap , raise and ahag; the alternaticve is roughen . Since no textiles are involved I presume Rauung is roughening. Confirmation or alternative required (for points)

'Textured surface' might be another option

Enhanced 'grippy' textured surface provides outstanding touch sensitivity

Notes to answerer
Asker: FYI, Ellen. perhaps i should have given more background, although it did appear in related questions that I sent . Essentially these are NOT gloves for medical purposes, but to protect people working manually with potentially dangerous materials,. Also, they are made of very sturdy materials (polymers) - nothing like latex at all.

neutral  Marga Shaw: Please read the question and the background info given re. this question.

  -> I dont see why you find fault with my answer. After all the links I posted confirm that napping may also be used with latex.
neutral  Susanne Schiewe: I can't find 'napped' referring to medical gloves in your link//Please read the context info;I don't think 'Griffigkeit' refers to the inside of the gloves - and your link in the discussion area doesn't work
