Rubber-coated magnets (18)
Rubber-coated magnets are neodymium magnets with a protective rubber coating. The rubber prevents scratches on paintwork and sensitive surfaces and provides grip, so the magnet is less likely to slide. Here you will find rubber-coated pot magnets from Ø22 to Ø88 mm with a threaded stud or internal thread, rubber disc magnets, and rubber hook and eye magnets.
Why choose a rubber-coated magnet?
- Painted surfaces: cars, trailers, caravans, refrigerators or steel cabinets, without scratches.
- Vertical walls: thanks to the grip, the magnet is less likely to slide than a bare steel pot magnet.
- Temporary fixtures: signs, lights, cables and displays that you move frequently.
- Outdoor use and moisture: the rubber protects the magnet better than a bare coating.
Please note: the rubber creates a small gap between the magnet and the steel. As a result, the perpendicular holding force is slightly lower than that of a bare steel pot magnet of the same size. Therefore, for a ceiling or the underside of a beam, it is better to choose a steel pot magnet; for a wall, rubber is the better choice. Not sure which finish is right for you?

The stated holding force is measured under ideal conditions on a flat steel plate; in practice, the actual holding force will be lower. Read how holding force is determined.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a rubber magnet on my car?
Yes, for temporary fixtures such as a sign or light. First, clean the paintwork and the rubber: sand or grit underneath can still cause scratches. Check yourself that everything is securely attached before you drive.
Does rubber hold better on a wall?
Yes. The rubber provides grip, so the magnet is less likely to slide down a vertical surface than a bare steel pot magnet. However, the perpendicular holding force is slightly lower.
How do I remove a rubber magnet?
Lift it by the edge to let air underneath. Pulling straight up requires the full holding force.
How do I maintain the rubber?
Wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry. Avoid solvents and prolonged heat to keep the rubber flexible.
Can stand builders and installers order rubber magnets in larger quantities?
Yes. For exhibition stands, shop fittings and company vehicles, you can order with volume discounts and pay by account with a purchase order. We are happy to provide a quote for any project. Business orders.
When will my order be shipped?
Orders placed and paid for before 16:00 on working days will be shipped the same day if they are in stock. Free shipping within the Netherlands from €45. Consumers have a 30-day cooling-off period.
