French term or phrase: Tissage chaîne et trame
This is taken from the technical specifications for a fire hose (for an airport crashtender). I understand it to mean "warp and weft weave" (or something like that), which would make this particular hose not very waterproof... I suspect I've misunderstood.

Woven with 100% synthetic warp and weft
Explanation:
I think you need to keep the whole phrase together in order to get the word order right.

No, it wouldn't be leaky, as this is only the reinforcing structure used for mechanical strength; your text goes on to explain that the hose is made by coating this inside and out. Think of your (ancient!) cross-ply tyres...

Thanks. I agree with the suggestion that "warp and weft" could probably be left out (although I didn't do it in the text I submitted) - this text was poorly written throughout and there were many changes I would have made to the ST if I had been its editor.

  -> Thanks, Salih!
agree  B D Finch: Though "woven" could still be omitted.//Yes, that might be even better. I did wonder whether the wording of the source was to indicate that it was not woven as a tube (rather than warp and weft), though that seems unlikely.

  -> Thanks, B! Yes — though actually, I'd almost prefer to keep 'woven' and lose the other 2.
