Description
The Procat paint mixer PVC 80 mm is designed for efficient mixing of different liquid and viscous materials. The 80 mm diameter mixing head is made of durable PVC plastic, which makes it light to handle and gives it excellent corrosion and chemical resistance compared with metal whisks. This material compatibility ensures that no contaminants dissolve from the mixer into the substance being mixed, and it is suitable for use with paints, varnishes, adhesives and other chemical compounds, for example.
The mixer has a standard hex shank designed to fit directly into the chuck of an ordinary drill or screwdriver. This makes it quick to get started and lets you use the speed of the power tool in the mixing process. The flexibility of PVC also reduces the risk of scratching the bottom and walls of the container during mixing. The shape of the whisk blades is optimised to create an axial flow that lifts material from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even, lump-free result in a short time.
In terms of technical data, the product is a balanced package. The mixing head diameter is 80 mm, and the overall length of the shaft is optimised to reach the bottom of standard-size paint and chemical containers. Thanks to the PVC construction, the product is light, which reduces strain on the drill bearings and makes long use easier. After use, the smooth PVC surface is easy to clean with water or suitable solvents before the substance dries.
Intended use:
The product is used for mixing liquid and semi-fluid substances to achieve an even consistency. It is an essential tool for preparing different coatings and compounds.
- Mixing paints and varnishes: Suitable for homogenising water-based and solvent-based paints, varnishes and wood preservatives before application. The mixer lifts pigments and binders that have settled at the bottom, ensuring an even colour and consistency.
- Preparing adhesives and compounds: Can be used to mix wallpaper pastes, floor adhesives, liquid membranes and other similar building chemicals into a lump-free compound.
- Mixing chemicals in industry: Resists many different chemicals, so it is suitable for mixing different industrial fluids and detergents in process containers.

Procat paint mixer PVC 80 mm instructions for use:
Before use, make sure the mixing whisk is intact. Fix the hex shank of the mixer firmly in the chuck of the drill or screwdriver. Put the whisk into the substance to be mixed before starting the machine, to avoid splashes. Use a low or medium speed for mixing so that not too much air gets into the substance and the motor is not overloaded.
Mix the substance by moving the whisk slowly up and down and sideways in the container until the compound is completely smooth and homogeneous. Do not let the whisk hit the sides or bottom of the container with force. Clean the whisk immediately after use with water or a suitable solvent, depending on the substance mixed. Do not let the substance dry on the PVC surface. Keep the product clean and in a dry place.
Warnings:
- Always use appropriate protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, when mixing chemicals.
- Make sure the drill chuck is properly tightened before starting.
- Do not use a damaged whisk.
- Note the safety data sheet of the substance being mixed and any fire hazards.
- Do not use too high a speed, which can cause the substance to splash or the container to break.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- What is the Procat paint mixer PVC 80 mm suitable for?
It is suitable for mixing liquid and viscous substances such as paints, varnishes and adhesives with a drill. - Can this be used to mix mortar?
The PVC whisk is designed primarily for lighter fluids and compounds. Metal mixing whisks are recommended for heavier mortars. - Does this fit an ordinary drill?
Yes, the mixer has a hex shank that fits most standard drill chucks.
Recycling instructions:
The packaging material of the product (any plastic or cardboard) should be recycled in plastic or cardboard collection according to local rules. The mixing whisk itself is made of PVC plastic. A clean product that is no longer used is sorted as plastic waste or energy waste according to local waste management rules. If the whisk has hardened chemical waste on it, it may need to go to hazardous waste collection.
