At Goudsmit UK, there are several coatings available for neodymium magnets. The choice of coating depends on the specific application requirements, and the experts at Goudsmit UK can provide guidance to help customers select the right coating for their neodymium magnets. Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni)

The most frequently used coating.
Colour - shiny metallic.
Good price/performance ratio.
Thickness - approx. 12 micrometres.

Gold-coating (Ni-Cu-Ni-Au)

Razor-thin coating (24k) over normal Ni-Cu-Ni coat,
Colour - shiny metallic.
Thickness of gold-coating without Ni-Cu-Ni – various depending on application.
Thickness of whole coating - approx. 12 micro metres.
Only suitable for decorative purposes only as the gold-coating rubs off easily with frequent use.

Chrome (Ni-Cu-Ni-Cr)

Better resistance against rubbing and pressure, therefore often used for sphere shaped magnets.
Colour - dull, grey-metallic.
Thickness - approx. 15 micrometres.

Copper (Ni-Cu)

Colour - shiny brown-red-gold. The colour may change over time due to oxidation.
Slightly weaker rubbing and impact resistance than Ni-Cu-Ni.
Slightly weaker corrosion resistance than als Ni-Cu-Ni.
Thickness - approx. 10 micrometres.
The copper-coloured surface rubs off with frequent use (similar to gold-coated magnets) and is therefore suitable for decorative purposes only.

Epoxy resin (Ni-Cu-Ni-Epoxy)

Colour – black.
Almost 100% non-corrosive, as long as coating is intact.
Not shock-resistant (crumbles quickly).
Thickness - approx. 10 micrometres.
Even the smallest, not visible to the eye, damages of the coating will cause damage to the magnet in the long term when exposed to moisture.

Zinc (Zn)

Colour - matt grey/blueish
Only zinc without Ni-Cu-Ni.
More susceptible to corrosion than Ni-Cu-Ni.
Can leave black marks.
Thickness - approx. 4 micrometres.

Nickel-zinc (Ni-Cu-Ni-Zn)

Colour - matt silver, slightly grey/bluish.
Ni-Cu-Ni with a layer of zinc.
Less susceptible to corrosion than Ni-Cu-Ni.
Thickness - 12–15 micrometres.

Non-stick coating (PTFE)

Colour - grey/anthracite.
Non-stick coating (PTFE) only, without Ni-Cu-Ni.
Nearly waterproof.
Very abrasion resistant.
Thickness - 12-25 micrometres.

Without coating

Colour - black/grey.
Magnets oxidise and corrode quickly when they come in contact with oxygen and water.
Magnets need to be covered air and watertight quickly.

Silver (Ni-Cu-Ni-Ag)

Colour - shiny silver.
Razor-thin coating over regular Ni-Cu-Ni coating.
Material - sterling silver.
Thickness - approx. 12 micrometres.
