French translation:résistant
Explanation:
C'est "capable of bearing" que je traduis par "résistant".

"Bearing": the act of enduring or capacity to endure (dictionary.com).

"Capable of capacity to endure", c'est assez redondant, mais cela signifie simplement "résistant". La surface doit résister au traitement sans se détériorer.

Soit dit en passant, votre phrase comprend une faute de frappe ("form" pour "from") : "Surfaces must be clean, capable of bearing, dry, and free from dust and grease." Les surfaces doivent être propres, résistantes, sèches et exemptes de poussière ou de graisse.
