Stainless Steel Coated Magnets

Many chefs bring their own cherished knives to work and then clean and take them home at the end of service. This stainless steel magnetic knife holder allows them to store their knives in plain sight during their shift. The risk of losing or damaging knives is reduced.

However it is not only chefs who enjoy the benefits of this magnetic stainless steel knife holder. Many crafts people and tradespeople have taken advantage of this fantastic magnetic storage device.

Chrome Pin magnets

Magnetic pins are a universally popular item. Traditionally magnetic pins are colourful plastic coated chess pawn shaped items. However these chrome finished Pin Magnets add an air of quality to your fridge or company whiteboard.

Stainless steel finished fridges, cabinets and racks can be complemented by using matching stainless steel pin magnets. Magnetic Pins are a quick and efficient means of achieving a strong hold on any ferrous surface.

FAQ

What are stainless steel coated magnets used for? 
Stainless steel coated magnets are designed for durability and cleanliness, making them ideal for food processing, medical, marine, and industrial environments. The stainless-steel shell protects the magnet from corrosion, impact and contamination, which gives the magnet long-lasting performance in harsh or hygiene-sensitive settings. 

What are the advantages of stainless-steel coating on magnets? 
Stainless steel coatings provide several benefits. They are resistant to corrosion, even in wet or acidic environments and are easy to clean. Stainless steel magnets are extremely durable especially against mechanical wear or impact and have a non-reactive surface that is compatible with hygienic standards. Stainless steel coatings are especially useful in industries requiring non-toxic, rust-resistant, and easy-to-sanitise magnetic solutions, such as food handling, pharmaceuticals, and marine operations. 

Are stainless steel coated magnets as strong as uncoated magnets? 
While the magnetic strength is slightly reduced due to the stainless-steel shell acting as a barrier, these magnets still deliver strong holding force. The trade-off is usually minimal and worthwhile for applications that require protection, cleanliness and resistance to harsh conditions. 

What types of magnets have a stainless-steel coating? 
All sorts of magnets can have a stainless-steel coating. Neodymium (Rare Earth) magnets are often coated with stainless steel for use in food processing, medical and marine environments, where both corrosion resistance and hygienic surfaces are essential. Ferrite (Ceramic) magnets can sometimes be encased in stainless steel housings for added durability and easy cleaning, especially in industrial or outdoor settings. Magnetic assemblies often use stainless steel coated magnets. Many pot magnets, magnetic bases and magnetic lifters use stainless steel shells around the magnetic core. This design provides a strong hold, protects the magnet, and allows for frequent cleaning or contact with harsh environments. Push pins, grate magnets, bar magnets and pot magnets are just some of the magnets that have stainless steel coatings to improve their performance in certain environments.
