jacketing
Applying protective covering
Jacketing is the act of encasing something in a protective outer layer.
Pipes receive jacketing for insulation; cables get jacketing to shield wires.
In ammunition, jacketing refers to coating bullets in copper or another metal.
The term also appears in bookbinding, where jacketing means fitting a book with its dust jacket.
