tresse braid Explanation: When talking about this sort of potentially asbestos-containing material, 'braid' is the term I am most used to seeing; should be easy for you to research from that point on. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 days (2018-10-31 06:48:00 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Irrespective of what it is actually used for — and here, we seem to be talking in the most general terms, hence any of those uses might be possible — for once, the EN follows the FR in talking about its form rather than its function. In many technical contexts, 'tresse' / 'braid' is used in all sorts of materials and for al sorts of purposes. |
