waterproofing
This term functions as both a technical process and a physical product. When referring to the action of making something water-resistant, it describes a systemic approach to moisture control, often associated with construction and industrial engineering. When referring to the substance itself, it denotes the specific chemical or material layer that creates the barrier.
As a noun, the word is typically treated as uncountable because it refers to a general process or a mass of material. You would not refer to multiple waterproofings in a standard sense; instead, you would specify a piece of waterproofing membrane or a layer of waterproofing sealant to quantify the material.
