Which Resin Should I Use for Food-Contact Fragranite Sinks?

Prioritising Food Safety in the Kitchen

When it comes to any surface that will contact food or kitchenware, it’s vital to use a resin that has been tested and certified for food safety. An excellent choice for Fragranite sinks in this regard is EpoxyFood, a clear epoxy resin certified under European food contact standards. It provides a crystal-clear, glossy coating and is suitable for sinks used with plates, cups, or cutlery, as long as the resin has been mixed and applied according to instructions.

Application Tips for Fragranite Sinks

• Preparation: Clean and lightly sand the sink to ensure maximum adhesion.
• Application: Mix the resin in the recommended ratio and apply evenly with a brush or roller. Aim for full, bubble-free coverage.
• Curing: Allow adequate curing time, ideally in a dust-free area, before using the sink for any food-contact tasks.

Avoid adding pigments or non-certified additives to the food-contact layer, as these may compromise safety and clarity.

When This Matters Most

Choosing a food-contact safe resin is crucial if your sink will come into regular contact with utensils or food, especially for households with young children, commercial kitchens, or anyone seeking long-term peace of mind regarding kitchen hygiene.
