Application

Magnet Paint

MagniF is a high-purity, natural, and environmentally responsible functional filler for polymers and coatings. As a magnetic paint additive, it offers clear advantages over iron powder-based fillers due to its non-rusting properties. When incorporated into wall coatings, chalkboard paints, or furniture coatings, ferrimagnetic MagniF creates magnet-receptive surfaces that attract magnets.

MagniF - Magnetic paint additive


MagniF® is a high-purity, natural, and environmentally responsible functional filler produced from natural iron oxide (magnetite). It is designed to provide ferrimagnetic functionality and enhanced durability in paints and coatings. Used in magnetic wall paints and decorative coating systems, MagniF enables surfaces to attract magnets while maintaining excellent coating stability and application performance.

Key benefits:

Adding MagniF to a base coat applied to walls creates a surface that attracts and holds magnets. Magnetic wall paint can be easily overpainted to achieve a wide range of finishes – from a uniform colour to a large, brightly painted mural.

Magnetic chalkboard paint requires a durable, wipe‑clean surface. Incorporating MagniF into either black or green chalkboard coatings provides an excellent surface with the added benefit of magnetic functionality.

Magnetic paint coating formulations

MagniF can be used in many different paint systems thanks to its excellent dispersibility and high stability; however, water‑based systems are the most common.

MagniF 10 or 0.1 is typically used, as it offers a good balance between magnetic performance and surface area. Typical loading levels range between 40 and 60 wt% (20 and 35 vol%). Magnet attraction depends on layer thickness; additional layers can be applied to ensure a strong magnetic hold.
