fractionalization
Explanation:
J'ai "agree" avec "sore line" pour ce qui est de la ligne. Cependant, pour ce qui est de la propriété, je propose cette réponse définie dans le Webster par:"the act or process of fractionalizing or the state of being fractionalized". D'ailleurs, en français, un comprimé sécable est aussi un comprimé rainuré ou un comprimé fractionnable.

je suis pharmacienne et j'ai eu à traduire ce mot il ya quelques années de cela.

Merci beaucoup pour l'aide, j'ai fait, à mon tour des recherches quant à la traduction possible de la propriété, car la ligne n'était pas si importante que ça. J'espère que, dans le futur, nous allons continuer changer "des petits mots" sur proz et que je pourrai, à mon tour, te rendre service. Bonnes traductions!

split-line


Explanation:
Trying again, now that I see you want the line itself. Here is what I found:

Rohypnol Fact Sheet - Date Rape Drugs - What are they and how can ...
... The pills are small and white with a split-pill line on one side and the
word "ROCHE" with the number 1 or 2 in a circle stamped on the other. ...

Netraver - The Domain of South Africa's Party Elite

Note that \"Barette de sécabilité\" only gets one hit on Google!

I just tried \"score line\" and \"break line\" on Google, and get about as many hits involving pills as I do for \"split line.\" So take your pick, they\'re all good terms!

The only reason I came up with \"split line\" is because I started out looking for \"pill splitter.\" About the instrument used to divide those critters, there can be no doubt: Google coughs up 6,950 hits for that! But for the line itself, well, I guess we can split hairs... ;)-

  -> Yes, I think "scored" would do for sécabilité. Otherwise, you could say "capable of being broken in half (or whatever)," which sounds rather clumsy.
agree  sktrans: comprimé sécable= scored or slotted tablet. Ref: Elsevier's dictionary of pharmaceutical science and techniques

Explanation:
post scriptum, pour Yolanda :
Je suis d'accord si on considère qu'il ne s'agit que de la ligne - mais dans la deuxième phrase Damari demande le nom d'une propriété générale des comprimés : donc dans ce deuxième cas ce n'est pas possible :
si en français on parle de
"la sécabilité des tablettes" (oui d'accord on ne dit pas souvent ça !) que peut-on trouver comme équivalent ?

fractionalization is NOT a property


Explanation:
it's the action of fractionalizing,
but I can't find any confirmation of this word being used in the context of pills or tablets, etc.
