German term or phrase: Mischungsverhältnis
Das Mischungsverhältnis des Materials A und/oder des Materials B in Material C muss von xx Gew.% bis yy Gew.% betragen. Wenn das Mischungsverhältnis größer als yy Gew. % ist, wird die elektrische Verbindung der Leitungsschicht mit einer anderen elektronischen Komponente behindert.

Ich kenne Mischungsverhältnis nur als mixing ratio, aber ein Verhältnis kann doch nicht mit "von xx Gew.% bis yyGew.%" ausgedrückt werden, sondern in 1:2 o.ä. Was ist denn hier mit Mischungsverhältnis gemeint?

Explanation:
You are right, a ratio is dimensionless. A percentage is a proportion.
I'd rewrite it, e.g.

The proportion of material A and/or material B in the mixture with material C must be from xx weight-% to yy weight-%. If this proportion is greater than yy weight-%, the .....

or words to that effect

BTW, if this is a plastic or polymer, use blend instead of mixture
