Pressed wool felt is a non-woven engineering fabric manufactured either solely from wool or from a wool and blended fibre mixture. Manufactured by means of compression, heat and moisture, it's construction depends upon the unique properties of the wool fibre.... This interlocking of fibres results in [a] structure that can be further enhanced with milling and hardening(this is the felting stage). The more the wool is felted, the firmer(denser) it becomes. The materials final hardness is in direct proportion to the amount of felting it has received.... the fabric is [then] dried under tension to stabilise it's manufactured thickness and width. 2, record 1, English, - pressed%20felt

Un feutre foulé est un feutre dont les fibres ont subi un raccourcissement par rentrage des cônes les uns dans les autres et aussi un enchevêtrement facilité par l'accrochage des rebords des cônes les uns aux autres. Après foulage, on constate que le feutre a subi un retrait important en longueur et en largeur et que son épaisseur et par conséquent son poids au mètre carré ont augmenté. Le foulage a donné au feutre la consistance et la solidité; il a fixé les dimensions. 1, record 1, French, - feutre%20foul%C3%A9

The temperature at which a bitumen softens or melts. 4, record 2, English, - softening%20point
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Deterioration, or loss of the desirable properties of bitumen, normally takes the form of hardening. The net result is a decrease in adhesive and flow properties and an increase in the softening point temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion. Hardening of a bitumen results in a reduction in its ability to accommodate deformations without splitting. 2, record 2, English, - softening%20point

L'antimoine, sous sa forme la plus courante, est un solide blanc d'argent ressemblant aux métaux, mais cassant [...]. Au point de vue chimique, il est intermédiaire entre les métaux et les non-métaux : c'est un métalloïde ou semi-métal. [...] Numéro atomique : 51. Masse atomique : 121,75. [...] États d'oxydation : -3, +3, et +5. [...] Isotopes : 116, 121, 122, 123 et 124. [...] L'antimoine se trouve dans la nature sous forme d'oxydes, mais son principal minerai est la stibine, sulfure de formule Sb2S3. 6, record 3, French, - antimoine

[...] les Anciens [...] confondaient [l'antimoine] avec son sulfure, auquel les Grecs donnaient le nom de «stimmi», et les Romains celui de «stibium».
