French term or phrase: Renfort polypro 13/10ème
Not much context, I'm afraid. This is from the bullet point description of a bag for carrying a floodlight on a tripod stand.

I just can't find out anything about this reinforced (?) polypropylene.

Many thanks.

(with) 1.3 mm (thick) polypropylene reinforcement
Explanation:
Since it seems unlikely that any kind of bag would be made entirely out of 1.3 mm thick polyprop., I'm assuming it is just some reinforcing piece that is this thick.

Reinforced polypropylene 1.3mm thick


Explanation:
The ref below shows a small polypropylene case. I can't imagine that it would be any thicker than 0.8mm. Why it should be described as 1/10 of something I have no idea.

neutral  Tony M: Given that it is 'renfort' rather than 'renforcé', I think we're looking at the usual (inverted!) FR word order here, which to my mind fits better with the technical logic of things

Explanation:
I doubt it is the thickness, maybe it's the overall size in centimeters.
