Gaz-Bud has an important update for contractors, technical companies, and customers looking for proven solutions for applications requiring a high level of hygiene and safety. The epoxy composition Epidian® 624 with IDA Hardener has a PZH Hygiene Certificate issued by the National Institute of Public Health PZH – PIB.
This is significant confirmation that the product can be used under specified conditions where the finished coating or laminate comes into contact with water intended for human consumption.
What Does the Hygiene Certificate Cover?
According to the information contained in the document, the certificate applies to the product:
Epoxy composition: Epidian® 624 with IDA Hardener
The product contains epoxy resin and a hardener based on benzyl alcohol and amine compounds. It has been designated for the application of epoxy laminates and coatings that come into contact with water intended for human consumption.
Where Can Epidian® 624 with IDA Hardener Be Used?
This type of epoxy composition is particularly important where resistance, durability, and contact with potable water are required. Epidian® 624 with IDA Hardener can be considered for, among other applications:
- epoxy coatings in installations that come into contact with water,
- epoxy laminates,
- technical protection of surfaces exposed to contact with potable water,
- work requiring the use of a material with a confirmed hygiene certificate.
In practice, this means that the product can be used in more demanding projects than standard technical resins, provided it is used in accordance with the manufacturer's documentation, application guidelines, and applicable regulations.
Why Is the PZH Certificate Important?
The PZH Hygiene Certificate is particularly important in industries where materials cannot be selected solely on the basis of technical parameters. When contact with water intended for human consumption is involved, the hygiene safety of the finished coating is also important.
For contractors and investors, this means greater confidence that the selected product has been assessed for hygiene requirements and can be used within the described scope of application.
Conditions for Proper Use
The certificate states that the product is intended for professional use. This means that application should be carried out strictly according to the manufacturer's recommendations, while observing appropriate precautions.
Particularly important are:
- proper substrate preparation,
- accurate measuring and mixing of the components,
- adherence to the application conditions specified by the manufacturer,
- adequate ventilation and the use of personal protective equipment,
- full curing of the material before the surface is released for use.
The document also states that surfaces that come into contact with water intended for human consumption should be washed and thoroughly rinsed with water before being released for use.
How Long Is the Certificate Valid?
The Hygiene Certificate for Epidian® 624 with IDA Hardener was issued on May 8, 2026, and remains valid until May 8, 2029, unless there are changes in the product's formulation or manufacturing technology.
Important Technical Information
It is important to remember that a hygiene certificate is not the same as a product's technical data sheet. The document confirms the hygiene assessment of the product, but does not replace information regarding technical parameters, application methods, consumption, curing times, or service resistance.
Before starting work, always read the current technical documentation and safety data sheet for the product.
Summary
Epidian® 624 with IDA Hardener is an epoxy composition with a PZH Hygiene Certificate, intended for the application of laminates and coatings that come into contact with water intended for human consumption. This is a solution for professional applications where not only material durability but also confirmed hygiene safety is important.
