Permabond ET05145K400C0101, ET5145 2 Part Epoxy, 400ml Kit, Case of 6
Permabond ET5145 Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive — 400ml Kit, Case of 6
Permabond ET5145 is a two-part, 1:1 mix ratio epoxy adhesive engineered for high-strength structural bonding with excellent impact and vibration resistance. A key differentiator: ET5145 is suitable for applications where the cured adhesive may come into incidental contact with food or beverage — making it the go-to choice for food processing equipment, packaging machinery, and food service assembly. The 400ml dual-cartridge format is designed for production-volume dispensing. Bonds metal, wood, composites, and certain plastics. Static mixer included with each cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Permabond ET5145?
Permabond ET5145 is a two-part, 1:1 mix ratio epoxy adhesive designed for high-strength structural bonding of metals, wood, composites, and certain plastics. Its key advantage is food contact suitability — once cured, ET5145 is appropriate for applications involving incidental contact with food or beverage, making it widely used in food processing, packaging, and food service equipment manufacturing.
Is Permabond ET5145 food safe?
ET5145 is formulated to be suitable for incidental food and beverage contact once fully cured. It is used in food processing equipment, packaging machinery, and food service applications where adhesive bonding may come into contact with food surfaces. Always consult the TDS and SDS for specific compliance details and verify suitability with your regulatory requirements before use.
What is the mix ratio for ET5145?
ET5145 uses a 1:1 mix ratio by volume, making it compatible with standard 400ml dual-cartridge dispensing guns. Each cartridge includes a static mixing nozzle — no manual measuring or mixing is required.
What substrates does Permabond ET5145 bond?
ET5145 bonds metal, wood, composites, and certain plastics. It performs particularly well in structural metal-to-metal joints and metal-to-composite assemblies. Always test on your specific substrate combination to confirm adhesion and compatibility.
What is the working time and full cure time for ET5145?
Working time is approximately 20 minutes at room temperature. Full cure develops over 24 hours at room temperature. Heat can be used to accelerate cure — consult the Permabond ET5145 TDS for specific cure schedules at elevated temperatures.
What dispensing equipment is needed for the 400ml cartridge?
A standard 400ml dual-component dispensing gun with a 1:1 ratio barrel is required. Manual and pneumatic options are available. The static mixing nozzle is included with each cartridge. Contact MTE Solutions for compatible dispensing gun recommendations.
What is the difference between the ET5145 50ml and 400ml kits?
The chemistry and performance are identical. The 50ml kit (ET05145K050C0101, case of 25) is suited for bench repair, prototyping, and low-volume use. The 400ml kit (ET05145K400C0101, case of 6) is more economical for production-volume bonding operations using pneumatic dispensing equipment.
