Product Description
Permabond ET5162 is a 2K epoxy with direct food contact approval — EU 10/2011 and FDA compliant. The premium choice for bonding in food processing, packaging industry, and pharmaceutical production.
Unlike standard industrial epoxies, ET5162 is approved according to EU 10/2011 (European regulation on food contact materials) and FDA standards — compliance letters are available from Permabond.
With a 60–80 minute pot life, ET5162 provides sufficient working time. The off-white color and balanced strength (10–15 N/mm² steel) qualify the product for applications in food processing equipment technology, packaging machinery, and pharmaceutical production with direct product proximity.
Permabond ET5162 is approved for food contact according to EU 10/2011 + FDA compliant — one of the few 2K epoxies with direct food contact approval. Premium choice for food processing equipment, packaging machinery, and devices in close proximity to products.

Frequently Asked Questions about Permabond ET5162
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Food-grade 2K epoxy — EU 10/2011 + FDA-compliant for direct food contact. The 2K epoxy is mixed in a 2:1 ratio by volume and offers a pot life of 60–80 minutes @ 23 °C.
Mix both components in a 2:1 ratio by volume — for double cartridges, use a mixing nozzle; for larger containers, weigh precisely. Apply within the pot life (60–80 minutes @ 23 °C) and join the parts together. Full cure typically occurs after 24 hours at room temperature.
The pot life of Permabond ET5162 is typically 60–80 minutes @ 23 °C at 23 °C. Higher temperatures shorten, lower temperatures extend the pot life. Mixing quantities above approximately 100 g can cure faster due to exothermic reaction.
Permabond ET5162 bonds reliably: Steel: 10–15 N/mm². For thermoplastic substrates, check compatibility before series production.
Permabond ET5162 is approved according to: EU 10/2011 Food Contact, FDA Compliance Letter available. Compliance letters and detailed certificates are available from Permabond/SILITECH.
Permabond ET5162 is food-approved 2K epoxy — EU 10/2011, FDA-compliant, direct food contact (2:1 by volume mix, 60–80 minutes @ 23 °C pot life). Permabond ET514 is standard 1:1 (1:1, 30–50 min pot life) — industrial without food approval.
From the Permabond 2K epoxy series, choose according to application, mixing ratio, and strength requirement: Permabond ET5162 (food-approved 2K epoxy — EU 10/2011, FDA-compliant); Permabond ET514 (standard 1:1); Permabond ET5422 (high strength); Permabond ET515 (aerospace flexible). For aerospace, see ET515 (Aircraft Seat Trays); for food, ET5162 (EU 10/2011 + FDA); for thermal management/fire protection, ET5441 (UL94-V0).
