Explanation:
Πάκτωση δεν είναι τίποτε άλλο από το "γέμισμα" κάποιου κενού με κάποιο υλικό. Δεν σημαίνει αυτόματα όμως setting που στα ελληνικά σημαίνει "πάγωμα" ή "πήξιμο" της ουσίας.

Example sentence(s):
  • Cellulose insulation can be dense packed into exterior walls from the outside after the siding has been removed.
