MagniF is a very pure, natural, and environmentally friendly functional filler for polymers and coatings. As a magnetic paint additive, it offers clear benefits due to its non‑rusting properties, compared with, for example, iron‑powder‑based fillers.

The natural iron oxide magnetite, from which MagniF is produced, has unique properties. Owing to the mineral’s inherent ferri‑magnetic characteristics, MagniF makes coatings magnet receptive.

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 easily be painted over 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%. Magnet attraction depends on layer thickness; additional layers can be applied to ensure a strong magnetic hold.
