Permabond Gasketmaker® Allows Repair Without Damaging Soft Metal
SOMERSET, NJ - Permabond® Engineering Adhesives has formulated LH197 to remain soft and flexible, allowing easy removal for applications that require regular disassembly or for applications involving soft metals such as brass and aluminium.
