carrier for dry adhesive


Explanation:
You don't give much information, but this could be about the use of sugar as a carrier for dry inhalers.

(dry) mounting bracket


Explanation:
Mounting Bracket - A bracket used to mount the slide to the back of the cabinet if the slides cannot be mounted to the side of the cabinet. Used when you have framed cabinets instead of frameless.

"à sec" generally means "dry" after the noun. For example, "nettoyage à sec" = dry cleaning.

However, I am unsure whether or not it is redundant in this context. Hence, my reason for putting dry in brackets before the noun.

=
Perlosuc 30 is used for applications which require a (dry) mounting bracket.

Maybe it would have helped if the Asker had indicated what "Perlosuc 30" was in the first place. This would have helped me a lot.

Well, it wasn't!!! You should have provided at least the surrounding sentences...

This context would have helped me a MASSIVE amount in the first place - a bit too late now...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Sorry but I think you are on the wrong track here. I know that a support is usually to do with shelves, etc but in this case we are talking cakes and confectionery! I think it means applying a sugar coating directly to the cake without any liquid to help it stick

Asker: I should have thought the word 'sugar' was quite a big hint....

Asker: Context: Perlosuc 30: Les grains sont obtenus par moulage à très haute pression de lingots de sucre cristal. Ces lingots sont ensuite concassés et tamisés afin d'obtenir des grains irréguliers d'une très grande dureté, qui résistent à la cuisson, produisant des effets décoratifs et des textures agréables. Le Perlosuc 30 est utilisé pour des applications qui nécéssitent un support de fixation à sec.

Asker: On the contrary, it's not too late if you think you know the meaning now that you have enough context.
