French term

colle caoutchouc de commodité

French to English Tech/Engineering Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
Help! These four words appear as an example in brackets after the words "produits très spécifiques". There is no context to help. My problem is that I can't work out whether this is one element or two or three ... whether the client has left out commas, for example. Since he appears to have gone on holiday with his phone off, I can't ask. Anyone recognise this as a product or have skills in deciphering, please? There may be an obvious answer, of course, but I'm stuck (sorry for the bad pun everyone!).
Proposed translations (English)
3 rubber cement for convenient application

Terry Richards Jun 18, 2018:
Are you sure it's an example? The problem is that "de commodité" means "off the shelf" or "standard" which is in direct contradiction to "produits très spécifiques". Could the author be saying that there are specialized products used but the rubber cement is just generic?
