  FLEXIBLE MAGNET

1. What’s a Flexible Magnet?

 A flexible magnet is a composite material made from a mixture of magnetic powder and a flexible polymer, such as rubber or plastic. This combination allows the magnet to be easily shaped and cut while retaining its magnetic properties.

2. Types of Flexible Magnet?

- A4-sized flexible sheets: These are flat, flexible magnets cut to the standard size of A4 paper.

- Flexible magnet rolls: Available in various lengths and widths, these magnets are rolled up for convenient storage and transportation.

- Flexible magnet strips: Thinner and narrower than sheets, these magnets are ideal for smaller applications.

3. How are Flexible Magnet made? 

 ► Coating method: A magnetic coating is applied to a flexible substrate, such as a plastic sheet. 

 ► Calendering: A mixture of magnetic powder and polymer is pressed into sheets of the desired thickness using a calendering machine. 

ل. Advantages of Flexible Magnets 

✓ Flexibility: Can be easily bent and shaped to fit various applications. 

✓ Durability: Resistant to wear and tear. 

✓ Customizable: Can be cut to any desired size or shape. 

✓ Adhesive backing: Many flexible magnets come with an adhesive backing for easy application.

5. Applications of Flexible Magnets
