Transform standard drywall, plaster, wood, and concrete into powerful, magnet-attracting ferrous surfaces. Our high-density iron particle formulas are low-VOC, non-toxic, and fully compatible with any decorative topcoat paint.
Micro-refined iron particles for high holding power.
Magnetic paint and magnetic putty are specialized industrial coatings that incorporate micro-refined iron particles into a high-quality binder. Unlike traditional paint, these products create a ferrous surface that attracts magnets, allowing you to turn ordinary walls into interactive displays, organization centers, and creative zones.
MIIPL provides two primary solutions: a water-based high-density magnetic paint for seamless application via roller or brush, and a specialized magnetic putty for filling imperfections while maximizing magnetic strength in fewer layers. Both products are engineered for stability, durability, and safety.
A liquid primer loaded with iron powder. Easy to apply and perfectly smooth, providing a consistent magnetic base for any room.
A high-density filler used to level uneven surfaces while packing in maximum magnetic particles for superior attraction.
The grey magnetic base is fully paintable. Apply your choice of color, texture, or chalkboard finish without losing magnetic power.
Architects and designers choose MIIPL magnetic paint for its reliability, safety, and versatility.
Safe for use in schools, hospitals, and nurseries. Our formulas meet strict environmental and safety standards.
Unlike bulky metal sheets, magnetic paint is a thin coating that becomes invisible once your final topcoat is applied.
Turn an entire wall, a ceiling, or even custom-shaped furniture into a magnetic surface without seams or edges.
No specialized equipment needed. Use standard rollers, brushes, or putty knives for professional-grade results.
Our high-density iron particle distribution prevents "dead spots," ensuring consistent hold across the entire surface.
Works on drywall, wood, plaster, and concrete. Compatible with almost all standard decorative topcoats.
A guide to coverage, drying times and application requirements for professional-grade magnetic wall surfaces.

| Coverage Area | Approx. 100-140 sq. ft. per gallon (for 3-coat system) |
| Recommended Coats | 3 to 4 coats for optimal attraction |
| Drying Time | 2-4 hours between coats; 24-hour final cure |
| Base Color | Smooth Dark Grey / Black |
| Surface Finish | Matte base, sandable to flat finish |
| Eco-Compliance | Low-VOC, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly |
| Compatible Topcoats | Latex, Acrylic, Chalkboard, or Decorative Wallpaper |
| Recommended Magnets | Neodymium (Rare Earth) magnets for strongest hold |
Actual coverage may vary based on surface porosity. For maximum holding power, ensure the number of recommended coats is applied and fully cured before topcoating.
Getting the best result from magnetic paint requires a simple but disciplined approach to surface preparation and layering.
Clean the wall thoroughly. Remove dust, oil, and loose paint. We recommend a light sanding and a standard primer.
Apply magnetic paint using a roller or brush. Apply 3 to 4 coats, allowing each to dry for 2-4 hours.
Once the final coat is dry, lightly sand any imperfections for a perfectly flat, professional wall finish.
Apply your desired color of latex paint or chalkboard paint to hide the grey base and add aesthetics.
Pro Tip: To test magnetic strength before topcoating, use a strong neodymium magnet. If the hold is insufficient, apply an additional coat of magnetic paint.
From modern classrooms to executive boardrooms, magnetic paint transforms static walls into dynamic, functional tools.
Interactive learning walls and giant magnetic whiteboards that encourage student engagement and collaborative teaching.
Agile project tracking walls and corporate idea boards where documents and prototypes can be snapped instantly.
Changeable wall graphics and promotional displays that can be updated daily without damaging the wall surface.
Integrated magnetic zones in kitchens or hallways for family schedules, reminders and photo displays.
Safe, non-toxic magnetic walls for children's rooms, allowing for endless creativity with magnetic letters and toys.
Large-scale educational exhibits where visitors can move elements around on a ferrous-coated wall.
Turn garage or workshop walls into magnetic storage zones for small tools and metal accessories.
Convert drywall partitions into flexible signage hubs for quick updates to office navigation or team boards.
Magnetic paint turns a surface ferrous, meaning it attracts magnets. It does not make the surface a magnet itself. For maximum performance, always use high-strength neodymium magnets.
Our magnetic paint and putty are manufactured using a proprietary blending process that ensures iron particles are evenly distributed, preventing clumps and ensuring consistent pull force.
Ultra-fine iron powder is blended with a high-stability acrylic binder to ensure a smooth, paintable consistency.
The mixture is filtered and homogenized to ensure that every gallon contains the same density of ferrous particles.
We utilize low-VOC agents to ensure the paint is safe for indoor environments and children's play areas.
Each batch is tested for adhesion, drying time and magnetic pull strength before being packaged for dispatch.
Our manufacturing process ensures that the iron particles remain in suspension, preventing sedimentation and ensuring that the first drop of paint is as magnetic as the last.
While both create a magnetic surface, one is a coating and the other is a physical material. The right choice depends on your aesthetic and strength needs.
| Feature | Magnetic Paint / Putty | Magnetic Sheets |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Invisible (under topcoat) | Visible edge / material thickness |
| Holding Power | Moderate (needs Neodymium) | High (inherent magnetism) |
| Installation | Painted on; seamless | Glued or stuck on; discrete |
| Versatility | Any shape, wall or furniture | Flat or curved surfaces |
