Not much context, I'm afraid. This is from the bullet point description of a bag for carrying a floodlight on a tripod stand.
I just can't find out anything about this reinforced (?) polypropylene.
Many thanks.

(with) 1.3 mm (thick) polypropylene reinforcement
Since it seems unlikely that any kind of bag would be made entirely out of 1.3 mm thick polyprop., I'm assuming it is just some reinforcing piece that is this thick.

| This is what I went for. Thanks, Tony, for your help - especially as the dimension really threw me. Just waiting for the 24 hrs to elapse now before closing. |

Thanks, Lori! I'm 100% sure about the dimension, it's very common over here in engineering conetxts...

Reinforced polypropylene 1.3mm thick
The ref below shows a small polypropylene case. I can't imagine that it would be any thicker than 0.8mm. Why it should be described as 1/10 of something I have no idea.

Tony M
: Given that it is 'renfort' rather than 'renforcé', I think we're looking at the usual (inverted!) FR word order here, which to my mind fits better with the technical logic of things

Quite possibly, but with so little context I have assigned a low confidence.

reinforced 13x10 polypropylene bag
I doubt it is the thickness, maybe it's the overall size in centimeters.

: I can see no justification for converting 13/10e (= 1.3mm, usually when referring to thickness or gauge) into a linear measurement in cm

Discussion
Tony may well be correct in that the bag itself is made of woven polypropylene (I have several which gravel came in) with additional reinforcing strings. These are often criss-crossed, each crossover forming a square of from 20mm to 100mm.
