se debe evitar èstes materiales/ èstas condiciònes


Explanation:
literally these materials should be avoided.
instead of èstes you could name the materials.

(Also note materials in general e.g. teaching materials would be left in singular-material dìdactico.)

As it is engineering -materiales para la construcciòn
hope this helps
