Fibre de verre
FRLa fibre de verre est un matériau constitué de filaments de verre. Elle peut être utilisée comme renfort dans un matériau composite à matrice polymère ou être transformée en nappes et nattes selon l’application. Les propriétés du produit fini dépendent notamment des fibres, de leur orientation, de la matrice ou du liant et du procédé de fabrication. Une pièce composite et une natte destinée à un bardeau ne sont donc pas des produits interchangeables. Les exigences mécaniques, thermiques et d’exposition doivent être validées à partir de la documentation du produit.
ENFiberglass consists of glass filaments. It can reinforce a polymer-matrix composite or be processed into webs and mats for specific applications. Finished-product properties depend on the fibres, their orientation, the matrix or binder and the manufacturing process. A composite part and a mat intended for a roofing shingle are therefore not interchangeable. Mechanical, thermal and exposure requirements should be validated against product documentation.

- BIBusiness intelligence turns data into information for decision-making. It combines data preparation, analysis and visualization but does not itself guarantee data quality.
- CRMCRM comprises practices and tools for managing customer and prospect relationships. CRM software centralizes contacts, sales opportunities and interaction history.
- ÉlastomèreAn elastomer is a polymer material capable of deforming and recovering much of its shape after load removal within its operating limits. It may be used for flexible parts, coverings, seals or contact components. Hardness alone is insufficient for selection: temperature, chemicals, abrasion, compression and ageing should also be considered. Compatibility must be confirmed for the exact formulation and application.
- Emballage de protectionProtective packaging is designed to limit product damage during handling, storage or transport. It may combine a crate, blocking and cushioning adapted to the product. Design considers mass, fragility, handling access and the logistics route. Humidity, vibration, shock or export requirements must be defined and validated using appropriate methods; no package protects against every risk.
- EmbeddingVector representation of a text (often 1,024 to 3,072 dimensions) capturing its meaning. AI engines convert indexed content and the user's question into embeddings to measure semantic similarity.
- ERPAn ERP integrates business functions through shared data and processes. In a plant it can coordinate orders, purchasing, inventory, planning and accounting depending on the deployed modules.
