belijning

Belijning is a Dutch noun used to describe the inner lining or inner layer of an object, and the act of applying such a lining. The term is common in Dutch-language textile, construction, and manufacturing contexts. Its precise sense varies by domain, but it broadly denotes the protective, finishing, or insulating layer on the inside.

In clothing and textiles, belijning refers to the fabric attached to the interior of a garment or accessory to improve drape, comfort, warmth, or durability. Lining materials range from lightweight cottons and silks to synthetic blends, applied by sewing, fusing, or gluing.

In industrial settings, belijning describes the inner lining of containers, tanks, pipes, or vessels. The lining provides chemical resistance, corrosion protection, hygiene, or insulation, and is selected to match operating temperatures, contents, and regulatory requirements. Installation may involve specialized adhesives, heat-bonding, or mechanical fastening.

In packaging, belijning can denote the interior lining of cases and boxes to cushion and protect contents, often using foam, paper, or textiles.

Synonyms in Dutch include voering and bekleding, while the term belijning is most often understood within specific sectors.
