polymérisation
Hi,
This isn't "binder" :), actually I just think the French sounds odd and would like confirmation please:
"...l'homme du métier sait évaluer cette vitesse. Comme en outre il connaît la loi liant la vitesse de polymérisation du matériau composite qu'il utilise à la température de ce matériau, il lui suffit de régler l'une par rapport à l'autre la vitesse de fluage du matériau dans le canal et la température dans ce canal ..."
"as he knows the law pertaining gto the speed..?
Thank you!

liant... à ...
Selected
that relates ... to ...
As Kashew says, this is just normal scientific / technical lingo, and it is clear from the syntax that it is a present participle and couldn't be a noun here.
However, you do need to read it in conjunction with the 'à' following, in order to clearly identify what the 2 things are that are being linked here.

You might of course say 'relating', but given that the intervening expression is quite long, I think maybe better not.
Depending on whether or not there is indeed some specific named 'Law', you might indeed even consider saying something like 'the relationship between X and Y' — but you'd need to be careful doing that to make sure you don't change the overall sense.

B D Finch
: The correct preposition would be "with". However, "correlating" is, in my view, over-translation.

I agree that "that relates ... to" is a more neutral translation.
