agree  Jack Doughty: Almost all the references to this are from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belorussia and Ukraine, but there are a few others, e.g. from Canad and India, and anyway, it's difficult to see how else you could translate it.

  -> Thanks Jack.

agree  The Misha: I'd say specialty materials though, not special.
16 mins
  -> Actually, special is better because it usually refers to materials that require special handling, like chemical or biological agents, caustic agents and so forth.

agree  James McVay: "Specialty" could be used for sex toys, but "special" is often used in official writing to refer to things of particular interest to governments.
