Magnetic extrusion for holding nameplates and signage
Overview - Magnetic Extrusion
The magnetic extrusion is a strontium ferrite magnetic powder within a thermo-plastic binder that is extruded through a die to create a specific profile which is then magnetized multiple-pole on one surface. The magnetic extrusion has one magnetic face and can be put against itself as pairs to magnetically attract to itself (self-mating). The maximum operating temperature of the magnetic extrusion is +176°F (+80°C) – above this temperature the binder starts to soften causing the magnetism to fail as it de-magnetizes as the magnetic domains re-align to cancel themselves out.
The pull force rating of the magnetic extrusion is 65 grams per square centimetre. The more area is used, the more clamping force potential there is. Magnetic extrusion works best when in direct contact with itself or in direct contact with a magnetically receptive surface (such as the steel tape (LINK), mild steel surfaces, magnetic stainless surfaces and other ferromagnetic surfaces).
One version is adhesive backed (EM888-R pairs – 5.9" (150mm) lengths). The other versions (including the 6.6ft (2m) long EM888-R) are without an adhesive backing (plain finish). It is possible for us to produce customized extruded profiles of lengths to suit. If you require such custom produced magnetic extrusion please contact us for prices.
