Description
Loba Mixing Container is a specialised 1-litre measuring cup with graduated scales, purpose-built for the precise, partial mixing of two-component LOBA water-based finishes, primers and oils. Getting a 2K product’s mixing ratio right is what determines whether the cured finish actually reaches its specified hardness and abrasion resistance, making an accurate mixing vessel a genuinely essential accessory rather than an optional extra.
Its graduated scales are engineered specifically for the accurate preparation of 2K water-based finish or 2K Intensive products, ensuring the correct 10:1 or other specified ratio is achieved consistently, batch after batch. That precision matters most on smaller or partial jobs, where eyeballing a ratio without graduated markings is far more likely to produce an under- or over-hardened mix than on a full standard batch where errors are proportionally smaller.
Allowing small or partial quantities of 2K product to be mixed correctly also reduces wasted material — rather than always mixing a full standard batch regardless of the job size, components like filler and hardener can be measured accurately in smaller amounts before being poured into a larger varnish bucket for application.
Because it’s a low-cost accessory relative to the LOBA finish products it supports, the mixing container is genuinely cheap insurance against an incorrectly mixed 2K batch, which can otherwise mean a floor finish that never reaches its intended hardness or, worse, needs to be sanded back and redone entirely. Keeping one on hand for every 2K job removes the guesswork from an otherwise easy step to get wrong.
Technical Specifications
| Capacity | 1 litre |
|---|---|
| Markings | Graduated scales for accurate ratio mixing |
| Typical ratio supported | 10:1 or other specified LOBA 2K ratios |
Where to Use
- Mixing 2K LOBA water-based finishes and primers
- Small or partial-quantity 2K product batches
- Preparing components before transfer to a varnish bucket
How to Apply
- Measure the filler — to the required graduated line for the batch size.
- Add the hardener — in the correct ratio, typically 10:1 unless the specific product states otherwise.
- Mix thoroughly — within the mixing container before use.
- Transfer to a larger varnish bucket — for application if a bigger batch is needed.
Important Notes
- Confirm the correct mixing ratio for the specific LOBA 2K product being used.
- Use within the product’s specified processing time once mixed.
- Clean the container promptly after use to prevent cured residue building up.
