Permabond ET5145 Food Grade Epoxy Adhesive – White 1:1 Structural Epoxy
High-strength, FDA-compliant two-part epoxy for food-contact equipment, appliances, and demanding structural bonding applications.
Permabond ET5145 is a tough, slow-curing 1:1 epoxy adhesive designed for applications that need strong bonding, excellent durability, and additional working time for positioning parts.
Its thick, thixotropic consistency helps the adhesive stay where it is applied while filling gaps up to 0.08 in. (2 mm). Once cured, ET5145 forms a strong bond with excellent resistance to impact, vibration, water, cleaning fluids, and everyday environmental exposure.
Why Choose ET5145?
-
FDA-Compliant Food-Contact Formulation – Meets the requirements of 21 CFR 175.105 and 175.300
-
White Cured Epoxy – A clean appearance well suited for food-processing and equipment applications
-
50–80 Minute Working Life – Provides plenty of time for positioning, alignment, and larger assemblies
-
High Structural Strength – Up to 3,000 psi shear strength on mild steel
-
Thick, Non-Sagging Consistency – Ideal for vertical surfaces and gaps up to 2 mm
-
Excellent Impact & Vibration Resistance
-
Bonds metal, wood, composites, ceramics, glass, and certain plastics
What Does "Food Safe" Mean?
Permabond ET5145 has been specifically formulated using materials suitable for regulated food-contact applications and complies with FDA 21 CFR 175.105 and 175.300.
In practical terms, this makes ET5145 a strong choice for bonding and sealing components used in food-processing equipment, appliances, filters, housings, and other assemblies where the fully cured adhesive may come into contact with food or beverages.
This rating applies to the fully cured adhesive in appropriate food-contact applications. It does not mean uncured epoxy is safe for food contact or consumption, and suitability should always be confirmed for the conditions of the finished application.
Popular Applications
ET5145 is commonly used for:
-
Food-processing and packaging equipment
-
Commercial kitchen and appliance components
-
Filter and screen assemblies
-
Stainless steel and aluminum fabrication
-
Equipment housings, brackets, and structural components
-
General industrial bonding where FDA food-contact compliance is required

Recommended Accessories for 50ml Cartridges
Complete your setup with these compatible dispensing accessories:
Maven DMA50 Dispenser
A simple, economical manual dispenser for the ET5145 1:1 50ml cartridge. Choose the 1:1 configuration.
Universal Maven MS50 Dispenser
A versatile professional dispenser that can be configured for multiple 50ml cartridge ratios, including the 1:1 ratio used by ET5145. A great option if you regularly work with different two-part adhesives.
Mixpac MBQ 05-24L Static Mixing Nozzles
Long, 24-element high-efficiency static mixers designed to thoroughly mix the two adhesive components while minimizing wasted material. Recommended for consistent dispensing from compatible ET5145 50ml cartridges.
Application
For best results, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of grease before bonding. Dispense a small amount until both components flow evenly, attach the static mixing nozzle, and apply the mixed adhesive to one surface.
Join and position the parts within the 50–80 minute working window. Clamp or support the assembly until handling strength is achieved.
Storage
Store unopened material between 41°F and 77°F (5°C to 25°C).
