Working safely with magnets

Small magnets can cause serious injuries if swallowed. Therefore, always keep magnets out of reach of children and never use them as toys.

Strong magnets can affect the functioning of pacemakers, ICDs, and other medical implants. Therefore, it is important to always maintain sufficient distance between powerful magnets and medical devices.

Strong neodymium magnets are powerful tools, but require safe and careful handling. Due to their high magnetic force, they can cause injury or affect sensitive equipment if used incorrectly. Therefore, please read the safety instructions below carefully before working with our magnets.

Large neodymium magnets attract each other with enormous force. This can cause fingers or skin to get trapped, leading to painful bruising or even bone injury. Always maintain sufficient distance between magnets and wear appropriate protective gloves when handling larger magnets.

Neodymium magnets are hard, but also brittle. When two magnets collide hard, sharp splinters can fly off. For larger magnets, wear safety glasses and prevent magnets from clashing uncontrollably.

High temperatures can permanently reduce magnetic force. Therefore, only use neodymium magnets within the recommended temperature limits and avoid direct contact with heat sources or open flames.

Damaged or untreated neodymium magnets can oxidize due to moisture. Preferably use magnets indoors or in dry environments and prevent damage to the protective coating.

Drilling, sawing, or grinding neodymium magnets is not recommended. Due to heat and mechanical stress, magnets can break, lose their magnetic force, or even ignite. Only use specially manufactured magnets for custom applications.

Strong magnetic fields can affect electronic equipment and sorting systems during transport. Always pack magnets carefully with sufficient shielding and follow applicable shipping regulations, especially for air transport.

Most neodymium magnets are nickel-plated. Sensitive individuals may develop an allergic reaction with prolonged skin contact. If necessary, wear gloves and avoid prolonged direct contact with the skin.

Always store magnets in a safe place, away from children, electronic equipment, and loose metal objects. If possible, use protective packaging to prevent unwanted attraction.

Always transport strong magnets well-shielded and securely packaged. This prevents damage to equipment, unwanted attraction during transport, and ensures compliance with applicable shipping guidelines.
