GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:charges
English translation:filler
Entered by: Conor McAuley

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Rubber-based product
French term or phrase: charges
"Caractérisation chimique :
Description : Mélange caoutchouc non vulcanisé contenant des polymères, des ingrédients organiques et inorganiques (***Charges***, agents de vulcanisation, protecteurs pour vieillissement et plastifiants)."

My Routledge Technical Dictionary gives "batch", "filler" and (mélange) "extender" for "charge" in the plastics and rubber subject area.

I'm not really a technical person.

Thanks in advance.

filler
Explanation:
Not really my field, but GDT gives it as "filelr" or "loading agent" and describes it as:

"A material added to plastics to vary their mechanical properties and sometimes also to lower their cost."

filler


Explanation:
The "charge" gives bulk to the polymer which otherwise would be too soft or supple
