Innovative coating for walls: magnetic paint

A magnet that is attached directly to the wall and does not fall, firmly in this place, will certainly surprise your guests, perhaps even enthrall. You can even turn it into a little magical show, telling the audience that you know something secret. And it is true. The secret of this magic will be known only to you, because you have been using magnetic paint.

Composition of magnetic paint

Despite the name, nothing to do with magnets, this coating for walls does not. With its ferromagnetic properties, this dye is required to loop magnetic lines, but can not generate them independently. In the composition can be only iron filings. It is these sawdust that attracts magnets to their bodies.

Such a paint is absolutely safe for human health. The smell is also not felt at all.

Application Features

Magnetic paint can turn any surface into a magnetic board. Other properties of this coating for the walls does not. After all, even the color palette is too limited. Magnetic paint for walls, which is represented in the modern construction market, is limited only by a dark gray shade. However, the solution to this problem is quite simple. In order to design a magnetic board, which will fit into the overall concept of the interior, it is enough to perform one more decorative layer in the color you want. It is best to use water-soluble paint for this purpose, but not more than two layers. Otherwise, the magnetic paint will lose its properties.

Dyes of this type can be used as an independent coating. It is recommended to apply them on a smooth surface, the material is not important at the same time. It can be both concrete and plaster.

Scope of use

Magnetic paint, reviews about which are exceptionally positive, has a wide scope of use. An improvised board can be made in such rooms:

1. In the classroom. This is especially true in the classrooms where the smallest schoolchildren are trained. The necessary visual aids, which are given in the textbooks, can be easily and simply demonstrated on a magnetic wall. Moreover, mobile schemes are also possible.
2. In the children's room. On such a wall, you can have pictures of your child, and without any possible damage to it.
3. In the kitchen. There is a tradition to bring a magnet from vacation, which moves from the souvenir shop to the refrigerator. However, this is not always convenient. The output is a magnetic wall that remains stationary, which means that the magnets will be intact and intact.

Painting instructions for walls

Magnetic paint can be used even without the involvement of specialists. For this it is enough to follow a simple instruction:

1. Surface preparation. This stage involves the removal of the old coating. You can use with this wash, spatula, grinding materials. Fat stains are removed with special solvents.
2. Preparation of paint. To do this, follow the instructions from the manufacturer, which is located on the paint package.
3. Application of paint on the surface. First of all, you need to take care of creating the right climatic conditions, namely: the absence of draft, air temperature in the range of +10 ... + 35 ^о С, humidity from 15% to 85%. It is recommended to use a roller to paint. On the surface should be applied three layers, between the application of which should be drying. The thickness of the layer completely depends on its magnetic properties: the thicker the more, the ability to attract magnets higher. All the taps are leveled with a spatula.

At the end, you can apply decorative coating, but not earlier than 6 hours.
