hot-application flooding compounds
flooding compounds that needs to be heated into melt before use
3.4
waterproof flooding compounds
flooding compounds made of certain nonabsorbent materials
3.5
absorbent flooding compounds
flooding compounds made by adding a certain amount of water-absorbent materials into the waterproof flooding compounds
