einslägige

einslägige is a German adjective that translates to "single-ply" or "one-ply" in English. It is used to describe materials or objects that consist of a single layer or thickness. This term is commonly encountered in contexts related to textiles, paper, and construction materials. For instance, a fabric described as einslägige would be made of a single layer of yarn or thread, as opposed to multi-ply fabrics which are woven or constructed from multiple layers. Similarly, in papermaking, einslägige paper refers to a sheet made from a single pulp layer. In construction, it might describe a single layer of insulation or roofing material. The opposite of einslägige would be mehrschichtige, meaning multi-layered. The specificity of the term einslägige highlights the singular nature of the material's construction, emphasizing its lack of additional layers.
