Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / spray can instructions | | French term or phrase: éclat des feuilles | Hi all!
This appears to have been translated from the German word (blattglanz). The other instructions on the can are what you might expect but this word appears alone and I have no idea what it means.
Any suggestions much appreciated. ASAP ... |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseKaren Tkaczyk: 4:40pm Apr 7, 2006: What kind of spray can? Paint? Hairspray? Spray a 'glossy sheet' is the obvious answer but a bit more context might help. -
Clare Macnamara: 4:42pm Apr 7, 2006: Thanks for your interest Karen. The following is the entire text. No idea what the product is ...
Récipient sous pression. A protéger contre les rayons solaires et à ne pas exposer à une température supérieure à 50°C. Ne pas forcer l’ouverture ou brûler même après usage. Ne pas vaporiser vers une flamme ou un corps incandescent. Conserver à l'écart de toute flamme ou source d'étincelles et d’inflammation. Ne pas fumer. Conserver hors de la portée des enfants. Ne pas respirer les gaz aérosols. Utiliser seulement dans des zones ventilées.
Clare Macnamara: 4:43pm Apr 7, 2006: Eclat des feuilles comes after that. In fact I'm not even sure if it belongs to the same text but I have absolutely no more info, unfortunately.
Karen Tkaczyk: 4:46pm Apr 7, 2006: Tricky then, indeed. That para is standard, as yuou say, then this termis weird. -
Clare Macnamara: 7:16pm Apr 7, 2006: Karen I've decided to close the question because I posted "blattglanz" in the DE-EN section as I was in a mad dash to solve it. The solution I got there is "leaf shine", a product for making the leaves of your plant nice and shiny/glossy.
Many thanks for your help and interest anyway. :)

| glossy sheet
Explanation:
Impossible to know exactly, but spraying a 'glossy sheet;' of a product is a reasonable guess, I think, given your comment of original the German.

I just used 'film' in the job I am working on at the moment(hairspray) and it reminded me of your question again. Film might be better than sheet.

| glittery bits
Explanation:
Might it be a product (paint, hairspray, Xmas tree decor, etc.) that contains bits of glitter, i.e. a sort of shiny leaf material???
