Permabond ET5161 has been specially designed to bond food grade stainless steel, for applications that may come into contact with food or beverages. It also gives very good results on other metals, such as steel or aluminum, as well as on composite materials. Moreover, it can be used for bonding filters in the food industry (assembly of the grid to the frame for example) and for the assembly of food processing equipment and machinery, but also for the manufacture of “general public” kitchen accessories (small white goods and appliances, coffee makers, utensils and cookware, cutlery, etc.).
