Safety instructions

⚠️ Safety instructions for neodymium magnets

Your safety is our top priority. Please read the following information carefully before using our neodymium magnets. Please also share these instructions with employees, customers, and others who come into contact with neodymium magnets.

🚨 Danger of swallowing

Children can swallow small magnets. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can lodge in the intestines and cause life-threatening complications. Magnets are not toys! Keep magnets out of reach of children.

⚡ Electrical conductivity

Magnets are made of metal and conduct electricity. Children could try to insert magnets into electrical outlets and receive an electric shock. Magnets are not toys! Keep magnets away from children.

💥 Danger of crushing

Large magnets have a very strong attraction. If handled improperly, you can pinch your fingers or skin between two magnets, which can lead to bruises and burns. Very large magnets can even cause broken bones. Wear thick protective gloves when handling larger magnets.

🩺 Pacemakers and defibrillators

Magnets can interfere with the function of pacemakers and implanted defibrillators. Keep a safe distance from magnets when wearing such devices and warn other users.

⚠️ Heavy objects

Excessive or sudden loads can cause a magnet or hook to detach from its base. Falling objects can cause serious injury. Do not use magnets in locations where material failure could endanger people.

🔪 Metal shavings

Neodymium magnets are brittle. If two magnets collide, they can shatter, creating sharp fragments that can fly several meters and injure your eyes. Wear protective eyewear and keep your distance from other people.

📺 Magnetic field

Magnets generate a strong magnetic field that can damage televisions, laptops, hard drives, credit cards, watches, hearing aids, and speakers. Keep magnets away from such devices.

🔥 Flammability

When machining neodymium magnets, the grinding dust can easily ignite. Avoid machining magnets or use appropriate tools and cooling water.

⚠️ Nickel allergy

Most of our magnets contain nickel, even those without a nickel coating. Some people are allergic to nickel. If you have a nickel allergy, avoid prolonged skin contact with magnets.

✈️ Air freight

Improperly packaged magnets can interfere with aircraft navigation systems. Always package magnets for air transport with adequate magnetic shielding.

📦 Shipping

Improperly packaged magnets can disrupt sorting systems and damage other packages. Use sufficient padding and place the magnets in the center of the package. Stricter rules apply to air freight.

👤 Effect on people

According to current knowledge, magnetic fields from permanent magnets have no measurable positive or negative effects on humans. Nevertheless, avoid constant contact with magnets and keep large magnets at least one meter away from your body.

🔧 Coating damage

The coating on neodymium magnets can chip off under collision or high pressure. Separate large magnets with cardboard and avoid impact.

🌧️ Oxidation and corrosion

Uncoated neodymium magnets oxidize and disintegrate quickly. Use magnets only in dry indoor areas or protect them from environmental influences.

🌡️ Temperature resistance

Depending on the type, neodymium magnets have a maximum operating temperature of 80 to 200 °C. Do not use magnets in high-temperature locations.

🔨 Mechanical processing

Neodymium magnets are brittle, heat-sensitive, and oxidize easily. Avoid drilling or sawing magnets unless you have the necessary equipment and experience.
