Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Qualitätssicherung | | German term or phrase: abschlämmbar | This phrase is from a document on Prüfanforderungen for children's play sand (for sandboxes). One of the criteria to be tested is the "Spezifikation der Masse-% der abschlämmbaren Bestandteile". (The others are grain size and shape, chemical analysis, density, bulk weight and so on). I am having trouble with "abschlämmbar". Can anyone help?
TIA
