Full Safety Rules
NdFeB Technology needs care.
Working with neodymium magnets requires particular caution. Below we present key hazards that you should familiarize yourself with before starting use.
Avoid drilling or burning magnets.
In case of pinching or ingestion - call for help.
Keep electronics at least 20 cm from the magnet.
Do not pull - move magnets on the edge of a table.
Be careful when handling two magnets at once.
Product 14+. Not for children.
Wear safety glasses and protective gloves.
In case of injury, apply a cold pack.
Maintain the workplace tidy.
Magnets are long-lasting - they retain power for years.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Choking Hazard
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Caution required
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Pacemakers
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Machining danger
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Hand protection
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Safe distance
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Risk of cracking
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Metal Allergy
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
