Magnafix is an innovative solution for attaching items to all sorts of surfaces, both magnetic and non-magnetic. Magnafix magnetic tape is a strong magnetic tape and the 3M or Tesa brand adhesive backing provides excellent adhesion to acrylics, steel, aluminium and other hard to adhere to surfaces.
Magnafix magnetic tape is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications due to its ability to create a strong magnetic bond. Some common uses include:
Retail Displays: Attaching signs, posters, and promotional materials to metal surfaces without damaging them.
Exhibitions and Trade Shows: Mounting lightweight displays and graphics that need to be frequently changed or moved.
Office Organization: Securing whiteboards, signs, or organizing cables and tools on metal surfaces.
Home Décor: Hanging lightweight decorations, pictures, or organizing items in the kitchen or garage.
Crafts and DIY Projects: Creating easily changeable projects, attaching fabric, or creating interactive displays.
Automotive Industry: Temporarily attaching parts, tools, or labels to metal surfaces during assembly or maintenance.
Education: Mounting educational materials, charts, or maps on classroom whiteboards or metal cabinets.
Signage: Creating changeable signage for stores, offices, or public spaces where permanent fixtures are not desired.
The key advantage of Magnafix magnetic tape is its ability to provide a strong hold while allowing for easy removal and repositioning.
Magnafix directions for use on Metal surfaces:
For this application, you can use either A or B Magnafix tape, this application is for use where one surface is metal that has magnetic properties.
-
Clean the surface where you want to attach the Magnafix tape with an alcohol wipe before you apply the tape.
-
Cut the Magnafix tape to the required length, peel off the adhesive cover, and apply to the non-metal surface.
-
Press along the Magnafix tape firmly to ensure it bonds to the non-metallic surface (signage etc.). Allow a few minutes for the adhesive glue to cure before attaching your item to a metal surface.
Using Magnafix magnetic tape to create a magnetic bond between two non-magnetic surfaces:
You will need to use both A and B Magnafix tape. This application is for use where both surfaces are non-magnetic, including plastic, wood, aluminium and paper-based material. The Magnafix magnetic tape system is ideal for fixing non-metallic screens to window or door frames, retrofitting acrylic double glazing to windows or for advertising displays and banners.
-
Clean both surfaces with alcohol spray or wipe.
-
Cut the required length of Magnafix tape A (flat surface with no central groove), peel off the adhesive backing cover and press the strip firmly onto the non-metallic surface so the adhesive can form a strong bond. Start with the fixed part of the project, such as a window frame or similar fixed attachment point.
-
Cut the same length of Magnafix tape B (grooved centre line) and apply the magnetic side of the tape to the opposite pole of the magnetic (part A) tape you have already applied. You will now have two magnetic surfaces attached to each other.
-
Now peel off the adhesive backing on the second piece of tape (B grooved) so that the sticky side is facing towards you.
-
Apply the other surface (Acrylic/Perspex sheet) to the tape and press firmly.
-
Allow the bond to set for 5-10 minutes.
-
You should now have two non-magnetic surfaces attached to each other by the magnetic tape.
