Variopox injection resin is a solvent-free primer based on a low-viscosity epoxy resin. The 2-component injection resin is suitable for impregnating end-grain wood, hardwood, softwood, cement and other absorbent substrates. Variopox injection resin is often used as an epoxy primer. Due to its low viscosity, the injection resin penetrates the substrate well.
The injection epoxy is paintable and improves the adhesion of Variopox Impregnating resin, IJmopox ZF primer, IJmopox HB coating, Double Coat and Variopox Roll coating.
Benefits of Variopox injection resin
- First layer in preservation systems and adhesive bonds for wood, osmosis repair systems for polyester and epoxy systems for cement-bound floors.
- Reduces absorption of highly absorbent substrates.
- Promotes adhesion of subsequent layers of epoxy or polyurethane coatings.
- Sandable.
- Good resistance to water immersion and various chemicals.
Applications
Examples of applications for injectable epoxy:
- Boat hulls (underwater).
- Window frames.
- Timber structures.
- Concrete basements.
- Concrete floors.
After injection, the substrate can be further treated with epoxy in combination with glass fabric and can be finished with DD paint.

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.
- Circa 30 minutes
-
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

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.
- Primer, Coating

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.
- 2:1 (by weight)
-
The recommended application temperature range indicates the conditions under which the product can generally be applied and cured properly. Three temperatures matter:
- Air: the temperature in the workshop or outdoors.
- Substrate: the temperature of the surface being treated.
- Product: the temperature of the resin, adhesive or coating itself.
A cold substrate can cause condensation and affect adhesion. At higher temperatures, two-component products may react faster, reducing their working time. Check the dew point and follow the product instructions.
- 15-25 °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
-
The overcoating interval tells you when the next layer of paint, varnish or coating may be applied. Many multi-coat systems specify both a minimum and a maximum interval:
- Minimum overcoating time: the previous layer is dry or cured enough to accept another coat.
- Maximum overcoating time: the period during which the next coat can bond without extra surface preparation under the stated conditions.
Overcoating too early can affect drying or the finish. Once the maximum interval has passed, cleaning and sanding may be needed to ensure adhesion between coats. Temperature and film thickness affect the waiting times.
- 1 day
-
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.
- 6 hours
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- 150-250 g/m²
