A flexible magnet is a permanent magnet that is made of ferrite magnet powder and rubber. A permanent magnet is that which emits a magnetic field without the need for any electricity.

The added rubber allows the flexible magnet to be coiled into a small radius, for example 6.35mm (0.25″). A flexible magnet can do this without causing any damage to itself, for example it will not crack or break easily. | |||

The flexibility of these magnets makes them very versatile, allowing them to be used to make car signs, hold a fridge door closed or help organise stock in a warehouse.
