Product Information

Full details

This guide is for crafters, DIY enthusiasts, and educators looking for a strong yet flexible magnetic solution. The key benefit is the unparalleled holding power derived from neodymium, combined with an easy-to-apply adhesive backing for creating custom displays and organizers. A caveat to consider is the required curing time for the adhesive to ensure a secure bond. These 30mm diameter dots offer a high-performance magnetic solution, integrating the strength of neodymium with the pliability of rubber, featuring a 3M adhesive peel-away back.

FAQs

How strong are these magnets compared to regular ones?

NeoFlex dots are approximately 10 times stronger than typical commercially available magnetic sheets due to their neodymium composition.

What does '10x stronger' mean in practical terms?

It means they can hold significantly heavier items or provide a much more secure grip on lighter items compared to standard flexible magnets, making them suitable for more demanding applications.

How long does the adhesive take to fully bond?

For the most secure and lasting bond, it is recommended to allow between 24 to 32 hours for the 3M adhesive to fully cure after application.

Can I use these on a curved surface?

Yes, the flexible nature of the NeoFlex material allows them to conform to and adhere securely to slightly curved surfaces.

Are these magnets safe for children?

The dots themselves are non-toxic. However, like all small magnets, they can present a choking hazard for young children. Adult supervision is always recommended when children are using these products.

What is the best way to clean the magnetic surface?

Gently wipe the magnetic surface with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the magnet or its coating.

What are the dimensions of each dot?

Each dot measures 30mm in diameter and is 0.75mm thick.

Troubleshooting

Dot not sticking securely to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Allow the adhesive to cure for the recommended 24-32 hours without disturbing it. Avoid applying to excessively dusty, oily, or textured surfaces.

Weak magnetic hold.

Verify that the target surface is ferrous (iron-based). Check if the item being held is too heavy for the magnet's strength. Ensure the magnetic face is clean and free of debris.

Adhesive peeling off.

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Clean and dry the surface thoroughly and reapply, ensuring firm pressure. Confirm the curing time has been respected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional magnetic strength for secure holding.
  • Flexible nature allows for diverse application possibilities.
  • Easy and clean application with pre-applied 3M adhesive.
  • Provides a secure and reliable hold due to specialized polarity.
  • Cost-effective solution with 24 dots per sheet.

Cons

  • Requires a 24-32 hour curing period for full adhesive strength.
  • Small parts can be a choking hazard for young children.
  • Neodymium magnets should be handled with care to avoid pinching fingers.
  • Adhesive may not perform optimally on heavily textured or dusty surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface to which the dot will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Peel away the 3M 9448 adhesive backing from the dot.
  3. Firmly press the adhesive side onto the desired item or surface.
  4. For the magnetic side, ensure it is placed on a ferrous (iron-containing) surface.
  5. Crucially, allow the adhesive to cure for 24 to 32 hours without applying significant load or movement to ensure maximum bond strength.

Compatibility:

These dots are compatible with any clean, smooth ferrous surface, including steel, iron, and magnetic primer-coated walls. They are also suitable for application on non-magnetic surfaces where you wish to add magnetic capabilities to an item (e.g., attaching a lightweight photo frame to a refrigerator).

Care:

  • Wipe the magnetic surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the adhesive backing remains clean before application for optimal sticking.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
