Our Ceramic or Ferrite block magnets are made from Barium or Strontium Oxide, and Ferric Oxide. Strontium Ferrite’s are a powerful and cost effective option and are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Ceramic magnets will operate at up to 250˚C before losing their magnetism.
Ferrite blocks are black in colour and are made with a ceramic carrier material. This makes them very hard and brittle so they can shatter with ease.
Because of the low cost of these magnets, they are most commonly used for craft uses, where as larger ceramic blocks are commonly used in magnetic separation equipment and magnetic sweepers.
At Magnets New Zealand, we pride ourselves in our high quality magnets and superior customer service.
