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 due to its non‑rusting properties compared to iron powder-based fillers. When ferrimagnetic MagniF is incorporated into wall coatings, chalkboard paints, or furniture coatings, it creates magnet‑receptive surfaces that attract magnets.

MagniF, produced from natural iron oxide (magnetite), is designed to provide ferrimagnetic functionality and enhanced durability in paints and coatings. Used in magnetic wall paints and decorative coating systems, it enables surfaces to attract magnets while maintaining excellent coating stability and application performance.

Key benefits:

• Enhances durability and wear resistance
• Supports smooth processing
• Maintains coating stability
• Delivers strong ferrimagnetic performance
• Offers non‑rusting properties
  

MagniF for magnetic paint

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.
