straight past participles

tiempo de hervor

instrumento de barrido ---> a radar, a scanner (not a broom), analogue to "encendido automotor"

esta es la lista de requisitos exigidos
el tanino se usa para el curtido del cuero (it's one of many possible)
el vinagre de alcohol se usa para el encurtido de pepinillos (it's one of several techniques)
el dinero se usa para el comprado de cosas (or maybe, el pagado de cosas or el ahorrado de valor)

I suppose it depends on the speaker and their knowledge. A lot of portmanteau nouns can be made up of past participles:

el guardado de valores (not to be mistaken with "la guarda de valores") ---> correct term, maybe too generic: la custodia de valores

I think Perikles just need to try and get used to these nouns, like us who didn't upped and ran when we find strange things in English
