Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Greenhouse construction | | Dutch term or phrase: hostaliet | XXX maakt voor de afdichting tussen de roede en de ruit gebruik van “hostaliet”.
I found a few references on the net for hostaliet, but nothing that really helped me much. It seems to me that this is mostly used in the electronic field, but I'm not sure what it is or what the English term for it would be.

Full term from the Kluswoordenboek:
Hostaliet
Het grijze PVC-soort waarvan onder andere elektrabuizen zijn gemaakt. Het voordeel van de grijze, hostaliete buizen ten oppzichte van de normale gele buizen is dat hostaliet slagvast is. Mocht de buis een tik krijgt, zal deze niet barsten.

| Grading comment I would've given the points to Jack if he proposed an answer instead of only a peer comment, but Dave's input also helped a lot. Thank you to Vangastel and everyone else as well.
