Product Information

Full details

This MagFlex Lite magnetic gridding tape is designed for users who need to create precise, easily adjustable grids on whiteboards or any ferrous metal surface. Its key benefit is the secure, yet residue-free removability, ensuring surfaces remain clean. A potential caveat is its specific magnetic application, meaning it will not adhere to non-metallic surfaces. The tape offers a 3mm pole pitch for a strong grip, is easily cut to size, and requires no protective plating.

FAQs

What surfaces can the MagFlex Lite tape be used on?

It is designed for ferrous metal surfaces such as whiteboards, metal noticeboards, filing cabinets, and metal doors.

Can I use this tape on a painted wall?

Only if the painted wall has a ferrous metal layer underneath. It will not stick to standard painted plaster or drywall.

How strong is the magnetic grip?

It has a striped north-south magnetic field with a 3mm pole pitch, providing a secure grip on vertical ferrous surfaces under normal conditions.

Can I reposition the tape easily?

Yes, the tape is designed for easy removal and repositioning without leaving marks.

What are the dimensions of the tape?

The tape is 12.7mm wide and 0.76mm thick.

Does the tape require any special surface preparation?

The surface should be clean and dry for optimal adhesion. No special plating is required on the surface itself.

How long is the tape on a roll?

The product is available in a 5-meter length.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking firmly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and made of a ferrous metal. Check that the tape's magnetic side is facing the surface.

Tape leaves marks on removal

Ensure the surface was clean before application. Try gently peeling the tape off at a low angle. If residue remains, use a soft cloth with a mild cleaner.

Difficulty cutting the tape cleanly

Use sharp scissors for a clean cut. For very precise cuts, a craft knife on a cutting mat might be used cautiously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the target surface (whiteboard, metal noticeboard) is clean and dry.
  2. Measure and cut the tape to the desired length using scissors.
  3. Carefully apply the tape, pressing gently to ensure good magnetic contact.

Compatibility:
