Nickel allergy

Many of our magnets contain nickel, even those without nickel coating. Some people have allergic

reactions when they come into contact with nickel. Nickel allergies can arise from constant contact with

nickel-coated objects.

 Avoid permanent skin contact with magnets.

 Do not handle magnets if you already have a nickel allergy.

INFO

Effect on people

According to current knowledge, magnetic fields of permanent magnets have no measurable positive or

negative effect on humans. A health hazard from the magnetic field of a permanent magnet is unlikely,

but cannot be completely excluded.

 For your safety, avoid permanent contact with the magnets.

Chipping of the coating

Most neodymium magnets have a thin nickel-copper-nickel coating to protect against corrosion. This

coating can flake off or crack due to collisions or high pressure. This makes the magnets more sensitive

to environmental influences such as moisture and can oxidize.

 Separate large magnets with a piece of cardboard.

 Generally avoid collisions between magnets and repeated mechanical loads (e.g. impacts).

Oxidation, corrosion, rust

Untreated neodymium magnets oxidize very quickly and decay in the process. Most magnets have a thin

nickel-copper-nickel coating to protect against corrosion. This coating offers a certain protection against

corrosion, but is not resistant enough for permanent outdoor use.

 Only use the magnets in dry indoor areas or protect the magnets from environmental influences.

 Avoid damaging the coating.

Temperature resistance

Most neodymium magnets permanently lose part of their holding power at temperatures above 80 °C.

 Do not use the magnets in places where they are exposed to high heat.

Mechanical work

Neodymium magnets are brittle, sensitive to heat and oxidize easily. Drilling or sawing a magnet with an

unsuitable tool can break the magnet. The resulting heat can demagnetize the magnet. Because of the

damaged coating, the magnet will oxidize and disintegrate.

 Refrain from mechanical processing of magnets.
