H&S Instructions for Magnets
NdFeB Technology needs responsibility.
Handling neodymium magnets requires adherence to H&S rules. Below we present key hazards that you must familiarize yourself with before starting use.
Quick tips!
Handling guide
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Bone fractures
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Magnet fragility
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
No play value
Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Medical interference
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Allergic reactions
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select encased magnets.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Dust is flammable
Powder created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
