FAQ's of Food grade epoxy:
Q: How do I properly mix the Food Grade Epoxy components?
A: Mix the epoxy base and hardener in a 2:1 ratio by weight. Ensure thorough manual or mechanical mixing to achieve a uniform blend. This is crucial for optimal curing, adhesion, and safety in food contact applications.
Q: What surfaces and areas can this epoxy be used on?
A: This epoxy is suitable for coating food contact surfaces, storage tanks, food processing equipment, as well as floors and walls in food industry facilities. It's designed for areas requiring excellent chemical resistance and food safety compliance.
Q: When can the coated surface be put back into service?
A: After application, allow the epoxy to fully cure for 7 days at 25C before resuming service or allowing food contact. Partial cure may occur sooner, but full resistance and safety is ensured only after complete curing.
Q: Where should I store unused epoxy to maintain shelf life?
A: Store the epoxy in its sealed HDPE container in a cool and dry place, below 30C, and away from direct sunlight. Proper storage maximizes its 12-month shelf life.
Q: What is the process for applying this epoxy?
A: Apply the mixed epoxy by brush, roller, or spray onto clean and dry surfaces. Work within the pot life (30-45 minutes at 25C) for best results and even coverage.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Food Grade Epoxy in food industry settings?
A: Food Grade Epoxy provides excellent water, food acid, alkali, and cleaning chemical resistance, superior hardness and adhesion, and meets FDA requirements for safety after full cure. It maintains hygienic surfaces, protecting against contamination and wear.
