* Can MagnetPaint be safely applied at home? |
|
|
|
|
Yes. MagnetPaint is safe for children, is lead-free and complies to the european safety norm EN 71-3 for children's toys. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Can MagnetPaint interfere with (cardiac) pacemakers. |
|
|
|
No.The Paint itself is not magnetic,but consists iron particles to attract magnets. Just like a fridge and is therefore safe to apply. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Can MagnetPaint interfere with radio waves. |
|
|
|
|
Yes. If used from wall to wall, each layer of paint can 'filter out' some radio waves and therefore interfere with reception of, |
for example, wireless phone if the transmitter is placed on the other side of the wall. |
|
|
if used at the sixe of a message board, or similar, no loss of reception should occur. |
|
|

|
|
|
* Is MagnetPaint easy to use? |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. MagnetPaint can be used on any smooth surface. The surface should be treated as with any ordinary wall paint. |
Important for easy application is to steer properly, so the iron particles are distributed throughout the paint evenly. |
The Paint has been optimized for professional use, which makes application at home also a whistle. |
|
Drying times between coats is 4 hours, but 24 hours should be taken into account to finish with a top coat or wallpaper.
*Magnetic Paint should not be thinned or mixed with other types of paint.Any tools used can be cleaned with water and soap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Does it work with any type of type of magnet? |
|
|
|
No. To understand why, it is important to know that magnetism is established as a combination of thickness of the paint and |
the quality/type of magnet used. The paintis not itself magnetic but does contains a high percentage of iron particles that allows
magnets to stick to it and thereby turns a wall into a magnet board.Strong magnets like Neodymium Magnets are recommended.
|
This is why the paint needs multiple coats, so iron particles are placed upon each other. |
|
|
Stronger magnets now can go more into depth and use also the deeper layered iron particles, which results in a stronger |
magnetic force. On the other end, a cut sheet magnet needs only 1 layer of paint to stay attached to the wall. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* How much paint do I need? |
|
|
|
|
|
1 Liter of Magnet Paint is sufficient for 5m² in a single coat or 2.5m² for 2 coats. |
|
|
Apply a minimum of 2 coats. 3 coats are advised.For extras strong magnesium, apply a 4th coat for use with Neodym magnets |
(look like shiny steel magnets). |

|
|
* Can the paint be removed ? |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. There are 2 possibilities |
|
|
|
|
|
• Since the paint itself is quite soft, you can easy sand it off (please protect yourself from dust) |
|
• Apply wallpaper first for later ,easy removal. |
|

|
|
|
* Which colors are available? |
|
|
|
|
|
Only one.MagnetPaint is a dark-grey primer, which can be top-coated with any kind of paint in any colors. Water based or |
solvent based.MagnetPaint can also be used behind wallpaper. Please note the thickness of wallpaper can be of influence |
on the magnetic strength. |
