Flexible Rubber Magnetic Strips with 3M Adhesive 20mm x 2mm Click here to order.
This flexible magnet with 3M adhesive lets you conveniently attach non-magnetic objects to metal surfaces.
The width is 10mm and thickness of 1.5mm, can be easily cut to desired length with a pair of scissors.
For best results, always clean surface with alcohol solution or alcohol pad to ensure surface are clean and free of grease, oil or any liquid before sticking on 3M adhesive side.

Adhesive force is 60g/cm² under ideal condition, actual usage varies according to composition of metal, surface texture, coating (thickness of paint/vinyl), angle, shape of object (affect leverage of object weight)
Magnetic Field Viewer reveal Multi-poles of Flexible Anisotropic Magnet
This flexible magnet is multi-pole, anisotropically magnetised, hence offers higher strength compared to other standard flexible magnetic tape.
Rubber magnetic surface has good friction to reduce slipping or sliding on vertical smooth metal surfaces.
However the magnetic strength is no where comparable to neodymium type magnet (solid silvery type).
Benefit of Flexible Rubber Magnetic Tape:
– Flexible and easily cut to size
– Good friction to prevent slipping on smooth surfaces
– Does not break easily
– Good resistance to corrosion
– Relatively safer compared to neodymium
Usage Instruction:
Before peeling the adhesive…
– Cut the desired length
– Straighten curled magnetic tape by bending slightly (If you need to use it urgently) OR#
– Straighten curled magnetic tape by attaching magnetic side on a metal surface overnight (If you are not in a hurry)
– Clean the surface to ensure free of dust or grease
After peel off adhesive..
– Stick the adhesive on flat, smooth and clean surface
– Apply firm pressure on the whole magnetic strip to ensure pressure sensitive contact adhesive get a good grip
– For best adhesive result, can reinforce with clear tape over magnetic tape and leave adhesive to cure for 24-48 hours before use. Some surfaces doesn’t bond to adhesive well, clear tape over magnetic tape helps secure magnet in place.
If you are using Magnetic Tape to Magnetic Tape method:
(There are alternating N and S poles going length-wise on the whole roll of magnetic tape!)
– Ensure both magnetic tape are aligned horizontally OR vertically
(NOT one Horizontal and one Vertical.. there are no attraction this way)
– Horizontal Magnetic tape will not attach with Vertical Magnetic tape and vice-versa.
– Both magnetic tape together must form a straight line – (minus sign), NOT a Cross or + (plus sign)
Can be used with Magnetic Paint to attach postcards, photos, calendars and etc. to a wall painted with magnetic paint.
You can also try our printable magnetic paper that has a larger magnetic surface area.
Note: Not suitable as a magnetic base to attach neodymium type magnets. This flexible magnet will get de-magnetise on contact with neodymium magnets due to the extreme magnetic strength of neodymium magnets.
