IJmopox HB Coating (RAL colours)
At a glance
- 2-component epoxy coating
- Available in RAL colours
- Protects against osmosis
Product description
IJmopox HB coating is a high solid two component buildcoat for general purposes based on epoxy resins and a polyamide hardener. This coating is often used as a primer for further finishing with DD Paint High Gloss or DD Paint Silk Gloss. Recommended for osmosis repair and osmosis prevention systems.
HB Coating in RAL colours
Normally, HB Coating is available in a white, black, or grey base colour. At Polyestershoppen, however, we can custom-tint HB Coating (from 4 litres upwards) in any desired RAL, Sikkens, or NCS colour! By choosing a tinted coating, you’ll get better coverage for the finishing topcoat, meaning fewer layers are needed for a smooth, opaque result. For large projects, this can save a significant amount of time, effort, and cost.
Benefits of IJmopox HB Coating
- Available in all RAL colours.
- Precisely mixed using our mixing machine.
- Orders placed before 5 pm CET are shipped the same day.
- Provides excellent protection against corrosion on steel and osmosis in polyester.
- Highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals and (salt) water.
- Can be painted over directly with most types of antifouling.
- Low in solvents.
Directions for use
Follow the instructions below to apply the epoxy coating correctly:
- Clean, sand and degrease the surface.
- Wipe the surface with a tack cloth to remove the last dust.
- Stir the base component and weigh the desired amount into a clean mixing cup.
- Add the hardener in the correct ratio to the base.
- Stir the mixture well.
- Thin the coating as desired and application with approximately 5% IJmopox Thinner.
- Apply HB coating evenly to the surface with a brush or velour roller. Roll the surface immediately, without pressing hard.

Product properties
The key technical properties clearly listed in one place.
- Article number

-
Gloss level indicates how much light a dry paint or coating reflects and how the finished surface looks.
- Matt: little reflection and a subdued appearance.
- Satin: a gentle sheen between matt and high gloss.
- High gloss: stronger reflections and a more pronounced colour, although surface imperfections may become more visible.
Gloss can be measured in gloss units (GU) at a specified angle. Terms such as matt and satin do not necessarily mean exactly the same thing across manufacturers. Substrate condition and application also affect the final appearance.
- Does not apply

The technical product category, such as primer, resin, hardener or cleaner. It explains the product's purpose and helps you find other products with a similar function.
- Primer

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.
- 5-25 °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
-
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.
- 3:1 (by volume), 83:17 (by weight)
-
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.
- 8 hours
-
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.
- 2 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.
- Approximately 7 m²/L
-
A specific thinner that can be used, where permitted, to adjust a product's application properties or viscosity. The correct thinner and maximum quantity depend on the product. Incorrect thinning can affect coverage, drying and curing.
- IJmopox thinner (5-10%)
- Net contents
- 20 L, 4 L
-
The application or processing methods specified by the manufacturer, such as brushing, rolling, spraying, casting or hand laminating. The chosen method can affect consumption, layer thickness and finish.
- Brush, Roller, Spray
-
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 300 minutes (at 20 °C)
