we really need more context to see what this is about

hermetic sealing / hermeticity [issues] / barriers (in these areas)

I agree with Phil that "hermetizado" is a noun here and would probably translate as an -ing noun in English (e.g., "impermeabilizado" -weatherproofing) , so something like "hermetic sealing" or even "waterproofing" or "airtightness" might also work, if you know what they are trying to keep out.

You might also look at the possibility of changing this to something like "hermeticity issues" instead.

Another alternative might be to use "area barriers" or "creation of barriers in areas".

Hermetic seal
Uses[edit]
Some kinds of packaging must maintain a seal against flow of gases: foods, pharmaceuticals, some chemicals and some consumer goods. The term can describe food preservation practices, such as vacuum packing and canning. Barrier packaging includes containers such as glass, aluminum cans, metal foils, and high barrier plastics.
Buildings designed with sustainable architecture principles use airtight technologies to conserve energy. Under low energy building, passive house, low-energy house, self-sufficient homes, zero energy building, and superinsulation standards, structures must be more air-tight than previously. Air barriers, careful sealing of construction joints and service penetrations (holes for pipes, etc.) achieve this. Airtightness minimizes the amount of warm (or cool) air that can pass through the structure, so the mechanical ventilation system can recover the heat before discharging air externally. Green buildings may include windows that combine triple-pane insulated glazing with argon or krypton gas to reduce thermal conductivity and increase efficiency. In landscape and exterior construction projects, airtight seals protect general service and landscape lighting electrical connections and splices. Many other specific applications must meet airtight standards to be waterproof or vapor-proof for human safety and proper function.
Applications for hermetic sealing include semiconductor electronics, thermostats, optical devices, MEMS, and switches. It is used for electrical or electronic parts that must be secure against water vapor and foreign bodies to maintain proper functioning and reliability.
Hermetic sealing for airtight conditions is used in archiving significant historical items.
