Rain, sun, frost. Same line.

Everyday pitches face the same changing seasons as the main ground. Their lines need to stay visible for training, school sport and regular play. Mix Budget is developed and tested for conditions on the pitch. Dependable white markings at an accessible price.

The paint knows the machine

Mix Budget is our most affordable concentrate, developed and tested with the same care as the rest of the Mix range. We test it with our own marking machines, taking pressure and nozzle choice into account. That experience helps us advise you on the right settings for your machine.

Product type: Line marking paint, water-based, diluted before use

Color: White

Pack size: 10-litre (r)HDPE container, 100% recyclable

Density: 1.49 to 1.51 g/ml

Pigment content: standard, for everyday white

Suitable surface: Natural grass sports pitches.

Machines: Selectliner, Flexliner and Easyliner, or any machine with a pump delivering at least 3 bar (45 PSI) at the nozzle. The Roll-liner transfer-wheel marker also runs Selectline concentrate, at the advised dilution.

Preparation: Shake the container thoroughly for at least 10 seconds before use. Dilute with clean water at the advised ratio and stir until the mixture is even, then install the can in the machine.

Dilution ratio: advised 1:4 with clean water. Possible: 1:2 to 1:6.

Nozzle type: our advice is a yellow flat-tip nozzle at 0.92 L/min.

Conditions: Apply to dry, freshly mown natural grass at temperatures above 5°C. Do not apply immediately after rain or while the grass is wet from rain or dew. Avoid rainfall, frost, strong winds and intense direct sunlight during application. Ideally, allow several dry, rain-free hours after marking.

Drying time: Approximately 30 minutes under recommended conditions. Lower temperatures or damp conditions may extend the drying time.

Final result and consumption: Both depend on the dilution, the nozzle, the flow rate and marking speed.

Cleaning: Clean the marking equipment immediately after use with clean water or Selectline Cleaner. Rinse the hoses, filters and nozzle thoroughly to prevent clogging.

Storage: Keep the container tightly sealed and store between 5°C and 30°C in a dry place. Protect from frost and direct sunlight.

Shelf life: 24 months unopened. Once opened, reseal the container tightly and store under the recommended conditions.

Safety: Water-based and non-flammable. Consult the safety data sheet before use.

Frequently asked questions

Mix Budget gives everyday white: enough contrast for training, school and recreational use. For league fixtures and tournaments, Mix Plus and Mix Prof start brighter. For clubs playing at the highest level the simplest route is a ready-to-use paint, Selectline Ready Fit, which needs no dilution and is the whitest we make. Specifying more whiteness than the playing schedule needs adds cost without improving day-to-day play.

The advised dilution ratio is 1:4, one part Mix Budget to four parts clean water, and that is where it gives its best result. Ratios from 1:2 to 1:6 are possible: stronger for a first marking on worn or open grass, weaker for overmarking lines that are still visible. Diluting further lowers how much paint a pitch takes, but it costs whiteness, so keep it for overmarking.

Mix Budget works in any line marking machine that reaches 3 bar / 45 PSI at the nozzle and takes a yellow flat-tip nozzle at 0.92 L/min, including the Selectline Easyliner, Selectliner and Flexliner. It can also be applied with a transfer-wheel marker such as the Roll-liner. As a concentrate it must be diluted and stirred until fully uniform before it reaches the machine: an uneven mixture collects in the filter and shows up as uneven whiteness.

Compare total cost across a season, not price per litre. Add the paint actually used over the season to the labour time for measuring, stirring, filling and cleaning. A concentrate has the lower purchase price per container, but a ready-to-use paint typically uses less paint per pitch and removes the preparation step, so over a full season the totals are closer than they look, and for clubs marking frequently the ready-to-use route often comes out lower.

Shelf life is 24 months unopened. Store the container tightly sealed and upright between 5°C and 30°C, in a dry place, protected from frost and direct sunlight. Frost damages the emulsion permanently. Once opened, reseal the container tightly and store under the same conditions.
