Product Information

Full details

The FIRST4MAGNETS Adhesive N42 Black Epoxy Magnets are designed for professionals in the print, packaging, and retail display industries who need a low-profile, high-strength magnetic closure. By combining the superior pull strength of Neodymium with a convenient, pressure-sensitive adhesive backing and a sleek black epoxy finish, these magnets provide a discrete solution for holding lightweight substrates together. However, users should be aware that the adhesive requires a full 24 to 32-hour curing period to reach its maximum bond strength, meaning they are not suitable for applications requiring immediate heavy-duty load-bearing.

FAQs

Can I remove and reposition the magnet once stuck?

No, the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is designed for a permanent bond. Removing the magnet will likely damage the adhesive layer and the substrate.

Why does the magnet need 24-32 hours to cure?

The pressure-sensitive adhesive flows into the microscopic pores of the material surface over time. Curing ensures a maximum chemical and mechanical bond.

Are these magnets safe for electronics?

Neodymium magnets are very strong. Keep them away from sensitive electronics, credit cards, and magnetic storage media to avoid data corruption.

Can these be used on outdoor signage?

These are primarily designed for interior use. Excessive moisture or temperature fluctuations can degrade the adhesive over time.

What is the pull strength per magnet?

Each 10mm x 1mm magnet provides a vertical pull strength of up to 0.58kg against mild steel.

Troubleshooting

Magnet detaching from surface shortly after application

The surface may have been oily or dusty. Clean with isopropyl alcohol, ensure it is fully dry, and allow more time for the adhesive to cure before applying load.

Adhesive bond feels weak

Ensure the application area is smooth. Porous or rough surfaces may not allow the pressure-sensitive adhesive to form a full bond. Use firmer, consistent pressure during the initial application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely thin 1mm profile for discrete integration
  • Easy peel-and-stick application saves assembly time
  • Professional black epoxy finish avoids visible metallic glare
  • Strong magnetic force relative to their small size

Cons

  • Requires 24-32 hours of curing time for full bond strength
  • Adhesive is permanent and not intended for repositioning
  • Not suitable for outdoor use where extreme moisture may compromise the adhesive

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start with a clean, dust-free surface. Peel off the protective backing and apply the magnet to the desired location, pressing down firmly to engage the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Do not attempt to slide or reposition the magnet once contact is made, as this can weaken the bond.

Compatibility: These magnets are highly effective when used on card, paper, plastic, and smooth wood surfaces. They are designed for interior use in retail, office, and creative environments.

Care: To keep the magnets in top condition, avoid exposure to extreme heat, which can damage both the adhesive and the magnetic properties of the Neodymium material. If the surface becomes dusty, wipe with a dry cloth; do not use heavy solvents or harsh cleaners, as these may damage the black epoxy coating or the adhesive bond.
