Hi Folks
Anyone know what spuntigli are when they're at home?
"recupero dell'acqua di lavaggio sperandola da vari inquinanti come detergenti, olii, grassi e spuntigli presenti nei liquidi..."
(washing of mechanical parts made of stainless steel in an automated production system)
TIA
Derek

emery powder
Hazon dictionary gives me "emery powder" for spuntigli and "to smooth with emery powder" for the verb spuntigliare.
But I don't know if that is ok in your context... doesn't seem so.
Maybe it's just "waste products" or the like, Italian businessmen often use words in strange ways...

Thanks v much for your quick answer. I'll probably be in trouble for closing so fast, but your answer makes perfect sense in my context and seems difficult to improve upon.
Maximum regards
