Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides technical details for Permabond ET5164, a two-part epoxy adhesive designed for professional or industrial use. It is compliant with FDA 175.300 and EU food contact regulations 10/2011, primarily for bonding stainless steel in food contact applications.

Specifications
  • Chemical Composition: ET5164A is an epoxy resin, and ET5164B is a modified amine.
  • Appearance: ET5164A is a white paste, and ET5164B is an off-white paste.
  • Viscosity: 54,000 mPa.s for ET5164A and 52,000 mPa.s for ET5164B at 25°C.
  • Specific Gravity: 1.23 for ET5164A and 1.14 for ET5164B.

Curing Properties
  • Mix Ratio: 1:1 by volume.
  • Maximum Gap Fill: 2 mm (0.08 in).
  • Gel Time: 50-70 minutes at 23°C for 10g mixed.
  • Working Strength: 8 hours at 23°C, 20 minutes at 60°C.
  • Full Cure: 24 hours at 23°C, 1 hour at 60°C.

Performance
  • Shear Strength: 17-23 N/mm² for stainless steel and 12-14 N/mm² for aluminium when cured for 1 hour at 60°C.
  • Hardness: 75-85 Shore D.

Recommendations
  • Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and grease-free before application.
  • Use solvents like acetone or isopropanol for degreasing.
  • Light abrasion is recommended for metals like aluminium and copper.

Directions for Use
  1. Insert the cartridge into the application gun and prepare for dispensing.
  2. Apply the adhesive to one substrate and join parts within the pot life.
  3. Clamp the assembly until handling strength is achieved.
  4. Full cure is achieved after 24 hours at 23°C, with heat accelerating the process.

Storage & Handling
Store between 5 to 25°C (41 to 77°F). Follow good industrial hygiene practices.

Additional Information
Not recommended for use with strong oxidizing materials. Refer to the safety data sheet for safe handling practices.

Engineering Adhesives PERMABOND ET5164Two-Part Epoxy Provisional Technical Datasheet Features & Benefits Excellent adhesion to stainless steel i EU Food Contact 10/2011 compliant t FDA 175.300 compliant High shear strength Description PERMABOND® ET5164 is a lightly thixotropic, 2-part epoxy adhesive designed to be compliant to both FDA 175.300 and EU food contact regulations 10/2011. ET5164 is designed primarily for bonding of stainless steel in food contact applications, however it will bond a variety of other substrates including steel and aluminium. Typical Physical Properties of Uncured Adhesive Graph shows typical strength development of bonded aluminium components. Curing at 60°C improves the crosslinking and results in higher final strength values. Lower temperatures will result in a slower cure. Hot Strength Typical Curing Properties Mix ratio by volume Typical Performance of Cured Adhesive Shear strength* (ISO4587) Cured 1 hour @ 60°C *Strength results will vary depending on the level of surface preparation and gap. Aluminium Stainless Steel Fully cured specimens conditioned to pull temperature for 30 minutes before testing at temperature. ET5164 can withstand higher temperatures for brief periods (such as for paint baking and wave soldering processes) providing the joint is not unduly stressed. The minimum temperature the cured adhesive can be exposed to is -55°C (-67°F) depending on the materials being bonded.
