Specifications

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

Colors: Blue, red and yellow

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

Density: Red 1.47 to 1.53, blue 1.57 to 1.60, yellow 1.57 to 1.61 g/ml

Pigment content: matched to each color

Suitable surface: Natural grass sports pitches.

Application conditions

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: 1:4 to 1:10.

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 and storage

Cleaning: Clean the marking equipment immediately after use with clean water or Selectline Cleaner. Rinse the hoses, filters and nozzle thoroughly to prevent clogging and to stop color residue affecting the next white line.

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

Which colors does Mix Color offer, and what are they used for?

Mix Color is available in blue, red and yellow, on the same concentrated platform as Mix Plus. Colored lines give each layout its own visual identity: separating a secondary sport from the main pitch, marking training zones and grids, or setting out a temporary configuration that should not be confused with the competition lines.

How do I keep white and colored lines readable on a shared pitch?

Mark the main sport in white first and let it dry, then add the secondary layouts in color. Working in that order keeps the primary competition lines dominant and prevents a colored pass from being laid over a wet white line. Use one color per layout consistently across the season, so players and officials learn to read the surface.

Do colored paints need a different dilution ratio than white?

The recommended dilution ratio is 1:4, with a working range of 1:4 to 1:10. Colored lines generally read best towards the stronger end of that range, because a color has less contrast against green grass than white does. Test one line at your intended ratio before marking a full layout.

Will colored line marking stain or damage the grass?

Mix Color is water-based and stays on the grass leaf rather than entering the soil, so the color grows out as the pitch is mown. The risk of damage comes from over-application, not from the pigment: a paint layer applied twice over the same spot blocks light and moisture. Keep a steady pace and overlap passes by no more than 5 to 10 cm. All Selectline paints are developed to be as gentle as possible on the grass and not to hinder its growth.

How do I clean the machine after using a colored paint?

Clean immediately after marking, before the paint dries. Flush with clean water or water with Selectline Cleaner until the rinsing water runs clear, then remove the nozzle holder, nozzle and filter and clean them separately with undiluted Cleaner. Keeping a second nozzle and filter set for colored work saves time on a pitch with several layouts.
