Spanish term

polietileno plegado

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
This is actually a description of a material used by an Argentine artist:

…Y son ya cinco décadas incansables de experimentación. En esta oportunidad, Rapsodias se compone de fotografías impresión digital sobre plástico laminado, una instalación en polietileno plegado, pinturas y sílice sobre plásticos y pinturas en PVC laminado, relieves en polietileno y dos libros de artista.

Thanks

folded polythene

Polyethylene is the proper chemical name for the material, but polythene is used more colloquially. Since you mention it's a material used by an artist, I think the colloquial form would be more appropriate.

Peer comment(s):

disagree John Druce : Although polyethylene is the chemical name, I think polythene is more appropriate for an artists material.
