Sheet Magnets
Sheet magnets are one of the most inexpensive magnets that are available in the market. These magnets are smooth, nonporous and are all weather resistant. The strength of the magnets can be increased by either increasing the width of the sheet or through magnetizing method.
The magnetic strips can also be supplied with a pressure sensitive adhesive backing or foam tape backing on one side for more bonding strength. For increasing the holding power, in some case, these magnets are also provided with steel backing to increase the holding power. The magnetization and the pole spacing of different sheet magnets are different because different applications require different magnetization. There are two methods of manufacturing magnetic sheet:
- Extrusion process
- Calendaring process
Features
- Available in different length, breadth and thickness
- The surface can be laminated with double sided self-adhesive and color PVC
- They are both isotropic and anisotropic
- They posses good magnetic strength
- They are non porous and weather resistant
Types
Magnetic sheets are of following types:
- Rolling Magnetic Sheets
The rolling magnetic sheets are powerful magnets which find their usage for large-scale advertising ornaments, toys and diversified craft works.
- Cutting Magnetic Sheets
The cutting magnetic sheets have their utility for instruments, meters, sensors, advertising ornaments, toys and different kinds of craft-work.
- Calendaring Magnetic Sheets
The calendaring magnetic sheet too like rolling magnetic sheet is used for advertising ornaments, toys and various craft works.
- Plain Magnetic Sheets
These magnets are without any laminations.
- Colored Magnetic Sheets
They are laminated with colored vinyl (PVC).
- Self-Adhesive Magnetic Sheet
They are laminated with self-adhesive tape.
Applications
The sheet magnets have the following applications:
- Craft Items
- Markers
- Signs
- Refrigerator Magnets
- Business Card Magnet
- Advertising Boards
