Product Description

Permabond ET5143 is a 2K epoxy with EU 10/2011 food contact approval — developed for bonding in food processing plants with higher strength requirements than ET5162.

ET5143 combines food-grade approval with significantly higher steel strength (18–22 N/mm² instead of 10–15 for ET5162) — the choice for heavy-duty bonding applications in food processing plants, packaging machines and pharmaceutical production.

FOOD APPROVAL

Two-component epoxy with EU 10/2011 food contact approval — combines high steel shear strength (18–22 N/mm²) with hygienic suitability. For bonding in food processing and packaging plants.

Processing

1
Clean surfaces
Bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of grease. Degrease with Permabond Cleaner A or a solvent (acetone, isopropanol). Lightly sand aluminum and copper to remove oxide layers.
2
Mix components A + B
For twin cartridges: attach mixing nozzle, press evenly (1:1 by volume mixing ratio). For larger containers: weigh resin and hardener in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly until no streaks are visible. Avoid air entrapment.
3
Apply adhesive + join components
Apply the mixed adhesive to one bonding surface within the pot life (—). Join the components with sufficient pressure to distribute the adhesive over the entire bonding surface.
4
Fix components during curing
Use a clamping device or clamp to ensure the components do not move during curing. Wait for handling strength and functional strength according to the TDS.
5
Full cure at room temperature
Final strength is typically achieved after 24 hours at 23 °C. Increasing the temperature by 8 °C halves the curing time; lower temperatures slow down the process. If necessary, optionally post-cure at 60–80 °C for maximum strength.

Important Notes

Important Notes
Request a compliance letter directly from Permabond. For direct food contact, migration testing according to EU 10/2011 is recommended.
Storage
Store at 5 to 25 °C. Keep 2K epoxy components in closed packaging — especially protect the hardener from moisture.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond ET5143

Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.

Food-grade 2-component epoxy 1:1 — High-strength bonding for food processing equipment. The 2-component epoxy is mixed in a 1:1 volume ratio and offers a pot life of —.

Mix both components in a 1:1 ratio by volume — using the mixing nozzle for dual cartridges, weigh precisely for larger containers. Apply within the pot life (—) and join components. Full curing typically occurs after — at room temperature.

The pot life of Permabond ET5143 is typically — at 23 °C. Higher temperatures shorten, lower temperatures lengthen the pot life. Mixing quantities above approximately 100 g may gel more quickly due to an exothermic reaction.

Permabond ET5143 bonds reliably to: Steel: 18–22 N/mm². For thermoplastic substrates, test compatibility before series production.

Permabond ET5143 is approved according to EU 10/2011 for food contact. Compliance letters and detailed certificates are available from Permabond/SILITECH.

Permabond ET5143 is a food-grade, two-component epoxy resin — standard processing (1:1 volume mix, pot life). Permabond ET5162 is a food-grade, low-strength epoxy resin (2:1 mix, 60–80 min pot life) — lower strength, longer pot life.

From the Permabond 2K epoxy range, select according to application, mixing ratio, and strength requirements: Permabond ET5143 (food-approved 2K epoxy – standard processing); Permabond ET5162 (food-grade, low strength); Permabond ET5145 (food-grade); Permabond ET5147 (food-grade, extended pot life).
