disagree  Ulrike Kraemer: Auch wenn ich 5 Jahre zu spät komme, kann ich deine Antwort unmöglich so stehen lassen, weil nichts daran richtig ist: nichtbindig = non-cohesive; profilgerecht = true to profile; verdichtungsfähig = suitable for compaction; verdichten = compact

Explanation:
true to .. paßt ja gut zu vielen Dingen (true to sb. = jdm treu sein, true to one's word = seinem Wort treu bleiben, true to life = lebensnah, lebensecht, the horse ran true to the form = das Pferd lief erwartungsgemäß, true to type = erwartungsgemäß) und wird auch im technischen Bereich verwendet (true to dimension), aber ob es auch zum Bodenauffüllen paßt??
