revêtement antiadhésif
Hi,
The context is a revetement anti-adhésive of kitchen utensils
"Ces revêtements présentent une meilleure résistance à l’abrasion, ce qui est un gage d’une plus grande durabilité au niveau de la tenue aux arêtes."
I’m stuck on « au niveau de la tenue aux arêtes », Ive used « ridges » for « arêtes »
Please help
Thank you

I agree with the other answer as far as core meaning, but I think I would put it something like this.

bonding
Here the meaning is literally "holding", ie adhesive bonding. Coatings on sharp edges (arêtes) are usually the first to fail since the stress is highest here.

See comment above. This bonding answer is not quite right. Rather, "tenue" as in performance. "Niveau" is just FR padding.
