Manufacturing process and industry applications of rubber magnets

Rubber magnet is a ferrite magnetic powder mixed with synthetic rubber, plastic and other materials, also known as rubber-plastic magnet or plastic magnet, with soft, bendable and other characteristics, is a ferrite magnet series in a kind of magnetic performance is not high, the following is about its preparation process and industry application introduction.


The production process for rubber magnets usually consists of the following steps:

Batching: First, depending on the product requirements, various raw materials are accurately weighed and mixed, which usually include ferrite magnetic powders, rubber (e.g., synthetic rubber or specific polymer resins), fillers, vulcanizing agents, accelerators, and so on. Ferrite magnetic powder is the core ingredient that imparts the magnetic function.


Refining: The ingredients are put into the refining machine for mixing and stirring, through the action of high temperature and mechanical force to make the raw materials evenly mixed and reach a certain plastic state for subsequent processing.


Molding: The molding process of rubber magnet mainly includes calendering, extrusion and injection molding.


Vulcanization: Magnetic rubber needs to be vulcanized to enhance its mechanical strength and durability, usually in a vulcanizing machine.


Cutting and shaping: The vulcanized material is cut to the required size and shape as needed, using methods such as die-cutting, waterjet or laser cutting.


Magnetization: Magnetizing the rubber magnet, can be unipolar or multipolar magnetized, depending on application requirements.


Testing and Packaging: The cooled rubber magnets will go through a series of performance tests, such as magnetic property test, size checking, etc.


Rubber Magnets Common Applications;

Home decoration and office supplies: such as refrigerator magnets, message board magnets, folder magnets, bookmarks, etc., both practical and decorative functions.


Advertising: as fixed or adsorbed parts in advertising light boxes, display racks, POP billboards, easy to replace and move.


Education and stationery: making teaching aids, magnetic puzzles, alphanumeric magnets to promote children's learning and cognition.


Automotive accessories: such as car interior decorative magnets, maintenance reminder stickers, etc., utilizing its lightweight and easy to attach characteristics.


Toys and games: Used in magnetic construction toys and board game accessories to increase interactivity and fun.


Industrial applications: Due to its strong magnetic properties, anisotropic rubber magnets are widely used in components of micro motors, computer hard disk drives, laser printers, photocopiers, as well as magnetic sensors, magnetic separators and other precision equipment.


Sealing and fixing: as sealing strips for doors and windows, or as dustproof and shockproof fixings in electronic equipment.


Packaging & Labeling: Magnetic labels and closures for food packaging, gift boxes, etc., providing convenient opening and closing.


Medical Devices: In some medical devices, rubber magnets are used to hold small tools or parts in place, as they are harmless and easy to handle.


Crafts & DIY: Because of their malleability and versatility, rubber magnets are also used by craft enthusiasts to make personalized decorations and creative gifts.
