Safety for the use of magnets

Safety notice

Before using the magnetic products, we invite you to carefully read the warnings for the use of the magnets present here. By purchasing the magnets, the customer confirms that he has read and taken note of the safety warnings. We decline all responsibility for damage or injury caused to the customer or to third parties as a result of improper or careless use of the magnets.

Neodymium magnet

Ingestion hazard

Children can swallow small magnets, which could get stuck in the intestines and cause injury or death.
Magnets are not toys! Make sure they don't get into the hands of children.

Electrical conductivity hazard

The magnets are made of metal and conduct electricity. Children may get shocked by trying to insert magnets into an electrical outlet. Magnets are not toys! Make sure they don't get into the hands of children.

Contusions hazard

The larger magnets have a considerable force of attraction, which could cause bruises, bruises and fractures in the affected parts.
To handle the larger magnets, use sturdy protective gloves.

Pacemaker warnings

Magnets can affect the operation of implanted pacemakers and defibrillators, thus causing malfunction.
A pacemaker could automatically go into test mode and cause illness, while a defibrillator could even stop working.
If you wear one of these devices, keep a safe distance from the magnets.
Warn wearers of these devices not to go near the magnets.

Heavy objects warnings

Excessive or sudden loads, aging or material defects can cause a magnet to detach from the bearing surface, causing serious injury.
The indicated adhesive force is only achieved under ideal conditions. Do not use magnets in places where failure of materials can cause harm to people.

Metal splinters warnings

Neodymium magnets are fragile and if two magnets collide with each other, they can splinter.
Sharp splinters can be thrown several meters away and injure the eyes. It is therefore recommended to avoid collisions between two magnets.
To handle the larger magnets use safety goggles.
Make sure that people around you are equally protected or keep a safe distance.

Magnetic field warnings

The magnets generate a large and powerful magnetic field. They can damage televisions and laptops, credit and debit cards, computer media, mechanical clocks, hearing aids, speakers, and other devices.
Therefore, keep the magnets away from all appliances and objects that could be damaged.

Combustibily warnings

The dust that forms during the mechanical processing of magnets is highly flammable.
Therefore, avoid working on magnets or use suitable tools and plenty of cooling water.

Nickel allergy warnings

Many magnets have surface coatings that contain nickel. Some people develop an allergic reaction to contact with nickel.
Avoid contact with magnets if you already have an allergy to this material.

Airfreight warnings

Magnetic fields generated by improperly packed magnets can affect aircraft navigation devices and are not allowed.
Only ship magnets by air transport in packaging with sufficient magnetic shielding.

Postage warnings

Magnetic fields generated by improperly packaged magnets can cause interference in automatic sorting systems and damage goods that are in other packages.
Use a large box and place the magnets in the center of the package by surrounding them with packaging material, so that the magnetic fields neutralize each other.
If that's not enough, use sheet metal to shield the magnetic field.

Influence on people

According to our current knowledge, the magnetic fields of permanent magnets have no effect on people. However, it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with the magnets, keeping the larger ones at least one meter away from your body. This is because the risk of damage to health cannot be completely ruled out.

Splintering of coating

Neodymium magnets usually have a thin Nickel-Copper-Nickel surface coating to protect them from oxidation. The coating can chip or crack as a result of collisions or strong pressure, which makes magnets used in humid environments prone to oxidation.

Oxidation, corrosion, rust

Neodymium magnets without surface coating or with the latter in damaged Ni-Cu-Ni oxidize very quickly and then crumble.
The coating offers some corrosion protection, but is not strong enough for using magnets outdoors under harsh conditions for long periods.
Therefore, keep the magnets in a dry place, away from heat sources.

Neodymium magnets have a maximum operating temperature of 80 to 200 ° C based on specific characteristics.
Most magnets lose their magnetic characteristics permanently at temperatures above 80 ° C.

Mechanical treatment

Neodymium magnets are very fragile and could break if handled carelessly. Avoid mechanical machining of magnets if you do not have adequate tools and the necessary experience. Magnets are sensitive to heat, in fact if exposed to this they could demagnetize. They are also highly oxidizable, in fact once the coating has been damaged, the magnet will oxidize and then crumble.

Ferrite Magnets

Ingestion hazard

Children can ingest small magnets, which could get stuck in the intestines and suffer fatal injuries.

Magnets are not toys! Make sure they don't get into the hands of children.

Contusions hazard

The larger magnets have a considerable force of attraction, which could cause bruises, and fractures in the affected parts.

To handle the larger magnets, use sturdy protective gloves.

Pacemaker warnings 

Magnets can cause implanted pacemakers and defibrillators to function, thus causing malfunction.

A pacemaker could automatically go into tests and could pass an illness, while a defibrillator could stop working.

If you wear one of these devices, keep a safe distance from the magnets.
Warn wearers of these devices not to go near the magnets.

Heavy objects warnings

Excessive or sudden loads, aging or material defects can cause a magnet to detach from the bearing surface, causing serious injury.

The indicated adhesive force is only achieved under ideal conditions. Do not use magnets in places where failure of materials can cause harm to people.

Metal splinters warnings

Ferrite magnets are fragile and if two magnets collide with each other, they can splinter.

Sharp splinters can be thrown several meters away and injure the eyes. It is therefore recommended to avoid collisions between two magnets.

To handle the larger magnets used goggles.
Make sure that people are also protected all around or keep a safe distance.

Magnetic field warnings

The magnets generate a large and powerful magnetic field. They can damage televisions and laptops, credit and debit cards, computer media, mechanical clocks, hearing aids, speakers, and other devices.
Therefore, keep the magnets away from all appliances and objects that could be damaged.

Postage warnings

Magnetic fields generated by improperly packaged magnets can cause interference in automatic sorting systems and damage goods that are in other packages.

Use a large box and place the magnets in the center of the package by surrounding them with packaging material, so that the magnetic fields neutralize each other.

If that's not enough, use sheet metal to shield the magnetic field.

Demagnetization caused by contact with Neodymium magnets

Ferrite magnets could be demagnetized or change the magnetization pole if placed in contact with neodymium magnets.
Keep ferrite magnets at least 5cm away from neodymium magnets.

High temperature resistance

Ferrite magnets have the ability to be used at temperatures ranging from -40 ° C to 250 ° C.
At lower or higher temperatures they lose some of their magnetic characteristics.

Mechanical treatment

Ferrite magnets are very fragile and could break if handled carelessly.

Avoid mechanical machining of magnets if you do not have the appropriate tools and if you do not have the necessary experience.

Influence on people

According to our current knowledge, the magnetic fields of permanent magnets have no effect on people. However, it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with magnets, keeping the larger ones at least one meter away from your body.
