Tech/Engineering - Paper / Paper Manufacturing | | French term or phrase: épair | This term appears only twice in a paper manufacturing company's newsletter where the company's performance throughout the year is being discussed.
"Réclamations: Filoches ! **Épairs** ! Latex odorant !"
and
"Observations: Des difficultés sur les caractéristiques déchirures / épaisseurs / **épair**"
As you can see, there is too little context surrounding this term for me to make an educated guess as to what I might be and I can find no relevant references to this term anywhere.
Can anyone enlighten me please?
Many TIA,
