Spanish term

lajosidad

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
Hola a todos!

En una descripción de las propiedades de los áridos, se menciona su "lajosidad":
"Se pueden obtener varias soluciones alternado y adaptando las propiedades de los áridos, entre otras: granulometría, contenido de finos, lajosidad, filler, etc."
¿Podría traducirse "lajosidad" como "slatiness"? ¿Conoce alguien un término más adecuado en inglés?

Muchas gracias!!

fissility

I would use "fissility". Slatiness, IMO, refers to the general features of slate (shades of color, texture, etc.), fissility being one of these characteristics.
