French term

tissus antidéfibratoires

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering noise reduction screen
this is a legend in a picture:
Laine de verre ou de roche recouverte de néoprène ou de tissus antidéfibratoires.

this text deals with material usable in noise reduction screens. However, I cannot find anything about "tissu antidéfibratoire" anywhere.
The document is from Canada, so it might be a local expression, but ???
The only occurrence I found was http://www.bape.gouv.qc.ca/sections/mandats/r175-60_227/docu... (page 12)

Any help or suggestion is welcome

Thank you Bourth, You really put me on the right track. I found the solution in: http://www.micesa.be/belgique/competences/acoustique-rail-ro... and http://www.micesa.be/belgium/competences/acoustique-rail-rou...
Which means that the answer I was looking for is: "defiberizing textile"

Locked out By making this a "ProZ.com members only" question you prevent me submitting an answer in due form, so this goes here. In any case, this IS discussion. My first thought was "non-linting", i.e. referring to the fabric itself. But on further reflection I suspect it means that the fabric is "protective", i.e. it prevents the rock/glass wool being "plucked out", "tufting", etc. "Fabric to hold the rockwool in place", "to ensure the integrity of the rockwool", etc.
2 other instances, hyphenated, still for noise barriers :

Translation "Antidefibrating fabrics" should be the translation.

Hope that helps =)

Proposed translations

shock-absorbing materials

or shock absorbing pads

this translation works and makes sense in the context of noise reduction if anitidefibratoire is an error for antivibratoire,

since as you have already discovered, there is absolutely no trace of this word anywhere on the net, you may want to consider the possibility of error (or a strange canadian expression that we non-canadians are not in on!) on the part of the writer.

It seems a possible solution and obviously shock absorbers, shock absorbing materials play a crucial role in noise reduction.

you may like to wait for confirmation from others- this is a suggestion.

see for refs (there are plenty of others)

Shock absorbers, vibration absorbing pads, motor mounts, isolators, OEM parts. ... grommets for hanging & sound absorber. Wall noise barriers size range. ...

Note from asker:
Thank you for your suggestion ArabellaCE but it was not a spelling issue, only something extremely rare and highly specialised. I appreciate the attempt though. :-)
