German term
PU Verstärkung
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Paint
From a technical data sheet describing the properties of a paint:
----
Sehr hoher Weißgrad durch PU-Verstärkung für extrem widerstands-fähige Oberflächen.
----
Does anyone know how this is referred to in English in the trade? I know what PU is, but somehow it doesn't sound right to speak using this (or anything else) to "reinforce" or "strengthen" paint.
TIA, Stephen

Selected
addition of PU
I would simply ignore the word "Verstärkung" in this context and translate it as "through addition of PU" as it is obvious here that this improves the properties of the paint, especially as regards the whiteness.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thanks, this is what I went with since the whiteness doesn't relate to the hardening properties of the PU."
