Flexible Magnet Technical Information
Pliable Magnetic Strip will not chip or crack. Can be bent, cut with a knife, drilled, nailed, filed, sanded, die cut or punched. Easily frabricated.
Polarity Systems
Extruded Duraflex magnets can be magnetized in numerous configurations. North and South poles can be positioned along faces, sides, and ends.
#1 Pole Arrangement
Single opposite poles on each face. Generally combined with steel pole pieces. e.g. Channel, Sandwich, Cup.
Applications: Latches, Catches, Racks, Rails, Motors, Fixtures, and Platens.
#3 Pole Arrangement
Two or more Poles in parallel along one face for greater magnetic concentration. Steel Back Plate increases strength.
Applications: Window and Door Seals, Holdfast Gaskets, Gliding Panels and Drawers.
#4 Pole Arrangement
Multiple Poles aligned laterally and parallel along one or both faces.
Applications: Signs, Lettering, Masking, Stenciling, Shielding, Displays, Premiums, and Novelties.

Magnetic value decreases about 5% with each 10°F increase in temperature, up to 175°F maximum recommended operating temperature. Magnetic strength returns as the temperature is reduced.
