They are also available with the north pole on the non-adhesive side. Remember, if using two together to attract you will need to make sure each has opposite poles on the non-adhesive side.
Pack of 10 - 15mm x 15mm x 1mm thick +/-0.1mm tolerance - Each magnet's south pole is on the non-adhesive face and the north pole is on the self-adhesive face. Convenient super-strong 3M 468 adhesive with easy-peel backing. Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 0.95kg vertically from the magnetic face when in flush contact with a mild steel surface. Excellent resistance to demagnetisation.

Product Information
Full details
This guide is for crafters, designers, and anyone needing reliable, strong magnetic closures or attachments. The key benefit is the powerful Neodymium magnet combined with convenient 3M self-adhesive backing for instant application. A caveat is that the magnets are directional and require correct pole orientation when used in pairs. These magnets offer a strong, permanent bond for various projects, featuring easy application and high resistance to demagnetization.

FAQs
What is the pull strength of these magnets?
Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 0.95kg vertically when in flush contact with a mild steel surface.
How do I ensure magnets attract and don't repel?
The North pole is on the self-adhesive face, and the South pole is on the non-adhesive face. To attract, ensure the North pole of one magnet faces the South pole of another.
Can I use these magnets on fabric?
The 3M adhesive works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. Adhesion on fabric may be weak and unreliable. Consider fabric-specific adhesives if needed.
Are these magnets safe for electronic devices?
Neodymium magnets are powerful. Keep them at a safe distance (several inches) from sensitive electronics, hard drives, credit cards, and pacemakers to avoid potential interference or damage.
What is the difference between the North and South pole on these magnets?
The North pole is on the side with the adhesive, and the South pole is on the flat, non-adhesive side.
How should I store these magnets?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally separated or in their original packaging, away from strong magnetic fields and sensitive electronic devices.
Can the adhesive be removed and reapplied?
The 3M adhesive is designed for a permanent bond. Removing and reapplying may compromise its stickiness and the magnet's holding power.
Troubleshooting
Magnet not sticking well
Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Reapply pressure for a longer duration. Test on a different surface.
Weak magnetic pull
Verify the magnet is in direct, flush contact with a ferromagnetic material (like steel). Check that no other strong magnetic fields are interfering.
Magnets repel when they should attract (or vice versa)
Check the pole orientation. The adhesive side is North; the non-adhesive side is South. Ensure opposite poles are facing each other for attraction.
Adhesive peeling off after a short time
The surface may not be suitable for the adhesive. Clean the surface thoroughly and try reapplying with sustained pressure. Avoid applying to flexible or oily surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Extremely strong for their size due to Neodymium material.
Convenient and mess-free application with strong 3M adhesive.
Ideal for creating closures, attachments, and displays.
Durable and resistant to accidental demagnetization.
Precise pole orientation simplifies magnetic pairing.
Cons
Magnets are directional; poles must be managed carefully when used together.
Pull strength is measured under ideal conditions (flush with steel).
The 1mm thickness might be too thin for some heavy-duty applications.
Adhesive may not bond effectively to all surfaces or in extreme conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the surface where the magnet will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
Peel back the easy-release liner from the adhesive side of the magnet.
Firmly press the magnet onto the desired surface for at least 30 seconds to ensure proper adhesion.
If using two magnets together, ensure their poles are oriented correctly for attraction or repulsion as needed. Remember, the North pole is on the adhesive side, and the South pole is on the non-adhesive side.
Compatibility:
The adhesive works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. Performance may vary on rough, textured, or flexible materials.
The magnetic force is maximized when in direct contact with ferromagnetic materials like steel or iron. It will attract other magnets but won't hold significant weight without a steel surface.
Care:
Clean the magnets with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the adhesive or the magnet coating.
Store magnets away from sensitive electronic devices, magnetic media, and pacemakers.
While resistant to demagnetization, avoid exposing them to extreme heat or strong opposing magnetic fields.
