IJmopox HB Coating

IJmopox HB Coating is a high-quality, low-solvent epoxy coating from De IJssel Coatings. This coating has been specially developed to provide effective protection for polyester substrates against osmosis and also offers excellent corrosion protection on a variety of metals. Thanks to its strong chemical resistance, IJmopox HB Coating is highly resistant to, among other things, salt water and various chemicals.

HB Coating is widely used as a protective primer and provides an ideal base for further finishing with DD Paint High Gloss or DD Paint Semi Gloss.

A major application advantage is that multiple coats of HB Coating can be applied on top of one another without intermediate sanding. If the substrate is coated with a single-pack paint system, this must first be completely removed. The surface should then be roughened with P120–P180 grit sandpaper to ensure optimum adhesion.

Benefits of IJmopox HB Coating

• Provides excellent protection against corrosion (steel) and osmosis (polyester).
• Resistant to various chemicals and (salt) water.
• Can be overcoated immediately with most types of antifouling.
• Low in solvents.
• Easy to apply.

Applications

IJmopox HB Coating is suitable for a variety of applications, including:

• Primer for finishing with Double Coat DD Paint.
• Prevention and repair of osmosis in polyester boats.
• Underwater coating for vessels that remain in the water for up to 24 consecutive hours.

Directions for use 

Follow the instructions below to apply the epoxy coating correctly:

1. Clean, sand and degrease the surface.
2. Wipe the surface with a tack cloth to remove any remaining dust.
3. Stir the base component thoroughly and weigh out the required amount into a clean mixing container.
4. Add the hardener in the specified mixing ratio.
5. Mix both components carefully until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
6. Thin the coating, depending on the application method and conditions, with approximately 5% IJmopox Thinner.
7. Working at temperatures below 15°C? Allow the mixture to pre-react for 10 minutes.
8. Apply the HB Coating evenly using a brush or velour roller.
9. Immediately roll over the surface with light pressure to achieve a smooth, even finish.
