Food safe epoxy HV
At a glance
- Epoxy free of bisphenol F
- For cutting boards, etagres etc.
- High viscosity
Product description
Looking for food-safe epoxy? This clear epoxy resin is suitable for direct food contact. It is ideal for coating serving boards, tiered trays, cheese boards, knife handles, and plates with a food-safe layer. Compared to the standard RESION UV Epoxy, this food-safe epoxy has a higher viscosity, making it thicker.
Because it is free from bisphenol F—a substance commonly found in many plastic products—this epoxy resin is food-safe once cured. This certified resin is therefore safe for food contact and can be used with confidence.
Benefits of this food safe epoxy resin
- Free of bisphenol F.
- Solvent-free.
- Low odour.
- Highly transparent.
- High scratch resistance and protection.

Product properties

-
Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
- Approximately 30-60 minutes (at 20 °C)
-
Heat resistance describes the temperature a material can withstand after correct processing and curing, usually expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). Continuous exposure is different from a brief temperature peak, and mechanical loading may also affect the limit. Heat resistance is not the same as the temperature at which the product can be applied.
- Up to 50 degrees celcius
-
UV stabilisation helps a material better withstand the effects of sunlight, including yellowing and deterioration of its properties. It slows ageing but does not make a resin or plastic completely resistant to UV exposure. The degree of protection varies by product.

Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
- 100:60 (by weight)
-
The tasks a product is intended for, such as laminating, casting, bonding, sealing or protecting. Products intended for the same application can differ considerably in processing, curing time and final properties.
- Coating, Casting
-
At this point, the material is generally firm enough to handle carefully, move or remove from a mould. Sanding, heavier loads or extended use may require further curing.
- 12-18 hours (20 °C)
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- 12 months
-
Minimum application temperature is the lowest temperature at which a product may be used according to the manufacturer. The limit can apply to the air, substrate and product itself.
At lower temperatures, resins and coatings can become thicker and cure more slowly. Moisture can also condense on a cold substrate and reduce adhesion. Check the dew point and measure the surface temperature before starting. A longer drying time does not automatically make application below the specified minimum acceptable.
- 15 °C
-
A solvent-free product contains no added solvents according to the manufacturer's specification. This does not automatically mean it is odourless, emission-free or safe to use without protective measures.
- Yes
-
A paint or varnish layer is dust-dry when settling dust is less likely to stick to the surface. It may not yet be touch-dry, ready for overcoating or suitable for loading; these are different stages of drying and curing.
- Approximately 6-12 hours (20 °C)
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- 3-5 days

Viscosity measures how easily a liquid flows, or how thick it is. Dynamic viscosity is usually expressed in mPa·s (millipascal-seconds), sometimes in cP (centipoise); 1 mPa·s = 1 cP. A lower value usually means a more free-flowing liquid, while a higher value indicates a thicker product. Temperature and test method strongly affect the value. Note that mPa·s is different from MPa, which is used to express mechanical strength.
- 10.000 mPa·s
