Flexible / bonded

Magnetic powder in rubber or plastic. Weak by design, and the only type you can cut with scissors or mould into a shape.

Formability is the whole point

Sheet, strip and moulded shapes, cut to size on site. Signage, gaskets, fridge seals and light retention. Nobody chooses it for holding force.

Bonded rare-earth is a different thing

Neodymium powder in a binder gets closer to real strength while keeping complex shapes, at a price between the two. Ask specifically if a moulded part needs more force than flexible sheet can give.

These figures are the ranges the trade works to and they move with grade, geometry and manufacturer. For anything load-bearing or safety-related, work from the datasheet for the exact part.
