HOW ARE FLEXIBLE MAGNETS MADE?
Raw materials of ferrite powder and rubber polymer resin are mixed and blended by several machines, then formed either by calendering for magnetic sheeting or extrusion for magnetic strip. The sheeting or strip is then magnetized, laminated with vinyl or adhesive, cut to size, rolled onto a core, and packed for delivery.

WHEN IS FLEXIBLE A GOOD CHOICE?
Flexible magnets offer a uniquely desirable combination of properties and lower cost than other type magnets for advertising specialties and lightweight holding applications. Lower energy flexible magnets perform well in a wide variety of applications for store, office, warehouse, school and home. They are easy to print on and easy to cut with scissors, knife or die.

All of our magnetic sheets are unique with a protective back-coating. The back-coating is a safe barrier between the magnetic surface and the surface to which it is applied. It reduces the risk of paint damage when magnetic sheet is applied to painted surfaces like vehicle signs. It is also important to screeners where magnets must be easily removed from stacking during printing process.

DIMENSIONS:

Standard thickness: 0.010", 0.015", 0.020", 0.025", 0.030", 0.045", 0.060" (+/-0.003")

• > 0.010": Ideal for advertising specialties. Lower cost and light weight.
• > 0.030": For vehicle signage. Strong enough for wind sheer at highway speeds.
• > 0.060": Preferred for applications requiring higher strength, and thicker profile.

Standard roll width:  24 3/8"    
Maximum roll width: 40.0"
Custom roll width is available.

Standard roll length: 50 ft/roll, 100 ft/roll or 200 ft/roll.
Custom roll length is available.

LAMINATIONS:
A variety of high quality laminations are available that are typically applied to the non-magnetic (weak) side of the sheeting.

Vinyl Features
• High quality top coat allows superior adhesion of most screen print inks and    lettering enamels
• Will not crack when material is flexed
• Excellent weather resistance to rain, snow, and summer heat
Vinyl Choices
• Gloss White
• UV Ink Gloss White
• Write-on/Wipe-Off Gloss White
Colors Choices:
• Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Black, Gold, Brown, Ivory, Chrome, Silver
Adhesive Choice
• Rubber-Based indoor and outdoor adhesive for craft and indoor application
• Rubber-Based high tack adhesive for outdoor applications
• Acrylic-Based adhesive for indoor or outdoor adhering to plastics and soft vinyls

MAGNETIZATION
Magnetized sheets are available in several poles per inch (PPI) configurations from 4 to over 12 ppi, optimized for specific applications. More poles per inch increase the holding strength, but reduce the reach of the field. Few poles per inch increase the distance at which the magnet attracts, but reduces the ultimate holding strength. Pole per inch capability is also a function of the thickness of the sheet, thicker sheets having fewer ppi.

Magnetization Patterns

MAGNETIC STRENGTH
Magnetic strength is increased by increasing the magnet thickness. Under ideal test conditions, magnetic sheeting can be rated in approximate pounds of pull per square foot.

EMPERATURE RESISTANCE
Operation temperature range is recommended from -40ºF to 160ºF (-40ºC to 71ºC).
