This guide is for crafters, model makers, and DIY enthusiasts looking for strong, reliable magnets for their projects. The key benefit is their superior corrosion resistance and smooth finish, offering durability for creative applications. A potential caveat is their small size, requiring careful handling. These medium-sized neodymium disc magnets are 10mm in diameter and 2mm thick, coated in three layers of nickel, copper, and nickel for enhanced protection against corrosion, making them ideal for a wide range of creative and light engineering tasks where a strong magnetic pull is needed.

'N35' refers to the grade of the neodymium magnet. The 'N' stands for Neodymium, and the number '35' indicates the maximum energy product, which is a measure of the magnet's strength. Higher numbers generally mean stronger magnets.
The 1kg rating is for a direct, perpendicular pull on a clean, flat, mild steel surface. Factors like shear force, surface irregularities, or intervening materials will reduce the holding power significantly.
Store them separated by a non-magnetic material (like plastic or cardboard) or in their original packaging to prevent them from attracting each other. Keep them away from heat sources and sensitive electronic devices.
These magnets are not recommended for young children. Small, powerful magnets can pose a serious choking hazard if swallowed and can cause severe internal injury if multiple magnets are ingested.
It is not recommended to drill or modify these magnets. They are brittle and can shatter. Attempting to modify them could also damage their magnetic properties or coating.
When stored and used correctly, neodymium magnets have a very long lifespan and are highly resistant to demagnetisation. They can maintain their magnetic properties for decades.
Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the protective coating.
Ensure the surface is made of a ferrous material (like steel or iron). Check if the magnet is clean and in direct contact with the surface. The surface might be too thick or have a non-magnetic coating. Also, verify that the magnet is not being opposed by another magnet.
Due to the brittle nature of rare earth magnets, chipping can occur during transit. Contact the seller if the damage is significant. For minor chips, the magnet's functionality may still be intact, but handle with extra caution.
This is common due to their high magnetic strength. Slide magnets apart rather than pulling directly. Using a thin plastic sheet or ruler between magnets can aid separation. Store them with a non-magnetic barrier.
While the coating is resistant, extreme conditions (e.g., constant moisture, salt spray) can eventually affect it. Wipe the magnets dry after exposure to moisture and avoid harsh chemical contact.
Setup: These magnets require no setup; they are ready to use out of the box. Simply place them where their magnetic force is needed.
Compatibility: These magnets are compatible with any ferrous (iron-containing) materials for attraction. They can also be used to repel other magnets, creating a shock-absorbing or damping effect. Keep them away from sensitive electronics, magnetic media (like credit cards), and pacemakers.
Care: Handle with care to avoid pinching fingers or dropping the magnets, as they can chip or break upon impact. Store them away from each other, preferably with a protective layer between them or in their original packaging, to prevent them from snapping together forcefully. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The triple-layer coating offers good corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to saltwater or harsh chemicals may still affect the coating over time.
