MAGNETIC SHIELDING FILM - MAGNET SHIELD | High Saturation Magnetic Alloy - 4" Wide X 1 Linear Foot Long Shield Protects from Magnetic Fields

First line of defense for shielding strong magnetic fields from magnets, speakers, small transformers and motors. Strong magnetic fields are harder to shield because they tend to "saturate" the shielding material. This 4" wide foil is a hefty .010" thick and has an exceptionally high magnetic saturation of 21400 Gauss and maximum permeability of 4000. Tin plated for excellent corrosion resistance and better conductivity, it can be soldered or painted. MagnetShield typically reduces fields up to a factor of 2 or 3 depending on size/shape of the shield. Can be used in multiple layers, and/or in combination with a higher permeability alloy such as Joint-Shield for higher attenuation. Annealing is not necessary with this material. For increased shielding effectiveness, consider the following strategies: Good: Layer(s) MagnetShield Better: One or more layers of MagnetShield (closest to the source of field), followed by one or more layers of a high permeability material such as Joint-Shield or MagStop Plate. Applications Notes: - The magnets will be attracted to the shield (this is true of ALL magnetic shielding alloys). If you want to shield 2 adjacent magnets from each other, each magnet should have its own shield. - The size, shape, and position of the shield all matter in terms of shield performance. For example, larger shields are better than small shields. Closer to the magnet is better than farther from the magnet. And parallel to the magnetic field lines is better than perpendicular to them. - You will likely need more than one layer of shielding material, depending on the strength of your magnets. More layers = more attenuation. SOLD per LINEAR FOOT. NOTE: If you wish us to cut the material into one foot long pieces, please indicate this in seller notes when you are placing your order! Otherwise your material will arrive in one continuous piece regardless of number of feet ordered. NO RETURN WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 30DAYS.
