Permabond ET5162 is a two-component epoxy adhesive with direct food contact approval (EU 10/2011) and FDA compliance. The premium choice for bonding applications in food processing, packaging, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Unlike standard industrial epoxies, ET5162 is approved according to EU 10/2011 (European regulation on materials in contact with food) and FDA standards — the compliance letters are available from Permabond.
With a pot life of 60–80 minutes, ET5162 offers sufficient processing time. Its off-white color and balanced strength (10–15 N/mm² steel) make the product suitable for applications in food processing equipment, packaging machinery, and pharmaceutical production where it comes into direct contact with the product.
Permabond ET5162 is approved for food contact according to EU 10/2011 and FDA compliant — one of the few 2K epoxies with direct food contact approval. A premium choice for food processing equipment, packaging machinery, and devices in close proximity to product.

Frequently asked questions about Permabond ET5162
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Food-grade 2-component epoxy – EU 10/2011 + FDA compliant for direct food contact. The 2-component epoxy is mixed in a 2:1 volume ratio and offers a pot life of 60–80 minutes @ 23 °C.
Mix both components in a 2:1 ratio by volume — use the mixing nozzle for dual cartridges; weigh precisely for larger containers. Apply within the pot life (60–80 minutes @ 23 °C) and join components. Full curing typically occurs after 24 hours at room temperature.
The pot life of Permabond ET5162 is typically 60–80 minutes 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 ET5162 bonds reliably to steel: 10–15 N/mm². For thermoplastic substrates, test compatibility before series production.
Permabond ET5162 is approved according to EU 10/2011 for food contact; FDA Compliance Letter available. Compliance Letter and detailed certificates are available from Permabond/SILITECH.
Permabond ET5162 is a food-grade, two-component epoxy resin — EU 10/2011, FDA compliant, for direct food contact (2:1 volume mix, 60–80 minutes pot life @ 23 °C). Permabond ET514 is a standard 1:1 mix (1:1, 30–50 min pot life) — for industrial use only, not food-grade.
From the Permabond 2K epoxy range, select according to application, mixing ratio, and strength requirements: Permabond ET5162 (Food-grade 2K epoxy — EU 10/2011, FDA compliant); Permabond ET514 (Standard 1:1); Permabond ET5422 (High strength); Permabond ET515 (Aerospace flexible).
