Sollte aber Hohlraumversiegelung (cavity sealing) gemeint sein, so handelt es sich um das Hohlraumversiegelungsmittel, was mit \"cavity sealant\" übersetzt wird.

  -> Right, flushin is at least as good as rinsing. Thank you.
neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: trying to get context from vital_stan is pointless - and then s/he closes questions without grading, saying 'no acceptable answer', see e.g. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/749203
