English translation: Water proof/water resistant

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:Vätskeisolerande
English translation:Water proof/water resistant

Bus/Financial - Insurance / SNI insurance codes
Swedish term or phrase: Vätskisolerande
Vätskisolerande material, exactly as it's written, just in a long list of SNI codes. If it helps, the code number is 161948.
Something to do with water skiing I imagine, as it's at the end of a section on sport.

Water proof/water resistant
Explanation:
"Vätsk(e)isolerande" is almost nowhere to be found so I'm assuming that "vattentät" or "vattenavvisande" are more appropriate terms.
