French term or phrase: un blanc à fort pouvoir couvrant
Hello

We are now talking about a glass ceiling/roof at an airport car park and its "l’impression numérique monumentale, à travers une surface de 1000M2 traitée en adhésif.

Then

Le projet constituait un défi sur plusieurs axes : la fragmentation du visuel en 300 parties, l’utilisation d’un adhésif polymère assurant tenue et enlevabilité au bout d’un an, la nécessité d’avoir*** un blanc à fort pouvoir couvrant*** et la gestion des contraintes de sécurité liées au travail dans l’enceinte d’un aéroport.

is this simply " a strong white covering"?

Thanks

Explanation:
"Couvrant" here means that the color of whatever is underneath the adhesive should not show through.
