Magnetization and strength
Adams magnetic strips use multi-pole magnetization pattern for maximum holding power and a minimum holding force of 16 oz/in. We can also magnetize in a matched pole configuration to give an even alignment on magnet-to-magnet applications widely used in trade show displays and signage. Standard grade materials are significantly stronger on one side and can have adhesives and vinyl applied to the weak side. Adams Magnetic Strip adheres and remains flexible at temperatures as low as -15°F and as high as 160°F (so do the adhesives).
High energy
Adams supplies high energy flexible magnets in energy levels 1.0 through 1.6, in strip or die cut shapes. We stock strip in the most commonly requested energy level: 1.4. High energy flexible magnets can be magnetized through the thickness in several methods. If you are not sure which method is best for your application, please ask your salesperson. The holding strength of these magnets starts at 16 oz/in at energy level 1.0 and increases with higher levels.

Common applications
Displays • Toys and games • Arts and crafts • Warehouse labels • Window and door seals • Control charts • Sensors • Latches • Holding
Standard tolerances
Unless otherwise specified, the following tolerances apply:
- Thickness: +/- 0.003 in
- Width: +/- 0.030 in
- Custom Lengths: +/-0.060 in or 1%, whichever is greater
Design and handling considerations
In addition to economics, a few additional factors to consider when choosing a flexible product include: pull requirements (due to weight, shape, and size of the applicable substrates), temperature, and exposure to fluids such as water, oil, etc. and adhering methods.
Added value services
Extruded magnetic strip can be made in literally hundreds of combinations of width and thickness. Adams has the capabilities to fabricate most imaginable sizes in house, and if we don’t, tooling can be made to meet your specific requirements. We can also package them in individual bags or other package types.
Cutting, slitting and SCORING operations are done in house. SCORING allows the pieces to remain in roll format. This is especially advantageous when adhesive is applied and your employees need to pull the magnet from the liner during production.
