FDA & EU 10/2011-compliant two-part epoxy for food contact

1 min read

ET5162 is an FDA & EU 10/2011 compliant adhesive from Permabond. It has been formulated to comply with both FA 175.105 and EU food contact regulations 10/2011.

The two-part, room-temperature-curing epoxy adhesive is said to combine high performance with fast cure and higher temperature resistance than standard two-part epoxies.

ET5162 is suitable for bonding a wide variety of materials including stainless steel, aluminium, composite materials, certain plastics and ceramic surfaces. The adhesive has a pot-life of around one hour and although it does offer the convenience of room temperature cure, the cure speed can be accelerated with the application of heat, if required.

As this product is compliant with food contact regulations, it is particularly well-suited to catering equipment applications, such as:

  • Food and beverage manufacturing equipment and machinery
  • Kitchen fittings
  • Coffee machines, drink, ice cream and smoothie dispensers
  • Sieves, strainers and filters
  • Utensils and white goods

Permabond ET5162 compliments and expands Permabond’s existing FDA & EU 10/2011 compliant adhesive range.

The material is supplied in 50ml and 400ml cartridges for use with static mixing nozzles. Bulk quantities (5kg and 20kg) are available for use with automated dispensing systems.
