English term (edited): c.a.; chemical application

application chimique

The period in between the two letters of the abbreviation implies that this is an abbreviation for two words. My suggestion is that they are referring to the chemical application of insecticide to one ton of netting (unless I'm misunderstanding the phrase and they are saying it the other way around: one ton of chemical applied to a lot/batch of mosquito netting. That seems less likely to me).

I'm also posting some other references on abbreviations. And I do recommend that you verify any translation of this term with the client.

References:
After the chemical application process is complete, the treated nets are transported from the washer/extractor to an industrial gas fired or steam heated dryer such as the Washex Challenge CPG 600 shown in Figure 2. Net transportation options range from manual carts and overhead sling systems to fully automated conveyor handling systems.
