A small expedition into the world of magnets

They are used in a variety of ways and can hold various types of objects. They range from standard magnets to super magnets. Some are so strong that a person cannot separate two magnets the size of a euro coin by hand. This is an invisible force resulting from a physical phenomenon. This force also has an impact on the surrounding environment. Distributors always include a safety data sheet with these magnets when selling or shipping them. The environmental impact can range from minimal to catastrophic health hazards.

Users should be aware of their actions and the associated risks. When camping in a campervan or panel van, the confined space and magnetic fields can quickly lead to conflicts. Particular caution is advised with assistive devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or hearing aids. PCs, laptops, USB drives, mobile phones, iPhones, iPods, digital cameras, car keys, and credit cards are also affected. These valuable items can quickly become unusable.

Another aspect is the attraction of Me Metal shavings. Through our own experience and numerous customer conversations , we are aware of the risk of scratches and surface damage to the camper van. It is unavoidable that such shavings will settle on the magnet. If this is not taken into account before attaching the magnet, costly damage can quickly occur.
