RED Magnetic Strip – 500mm x 15mm x 6mm | 3M Self Adhesive

Description

The RED Magnetic Strip – 500mm x 15mm x 6mm | 3M Self Adhesive is a versatile magnetic mounting and organisation solution designed for convenient installation in workshops, garages, offices, warehouses and other workspaces.

Featuring a 500mm length, 15mm width and 6mm thickness, this red magnetic strip combines magnetic holding functionality with a convenient 3M self-adhesive backing, allowing it to be attached to suitable surfaces without the need for drilling or mechanical fasteners.

The integrated adhesive backing provides a practical mounting option for compatible clean, smooth and dry surfaces, while the magnetic face can attract and hold suitable ferromagnetic objects.

Its distinctive red finish offers excellent visibility, making the strip easy to identify in busy workshops, maintenance areas and industrial environments.

The slim, elongated design provides a practical magnetic holding area for organising compatible lightweight steel items, small tools, metal accessories and other ferromagnetic components, subject to the strip's magnetic holding capacity.

Unlike traditional magnetic mounting solutions that require screws or brackets, the self-adhesive backing allows the strip to be positioned directly onto suitable non-magnetic or magnetic surfaces.

This makes it particularly useful for creating magnetic storage areas on cabinets, workbenches, shelving, equipment panels and other compatible surfaces.

The 500mm length provides an extended magnetic attachment area, while the compact 15mm width helps minimise the amount of surface space required for installation.

With a 6mm overall thickness, the strip offers a defined mounting profile suitable for applications where a relatively narrow magnetic holding strip is preferred.

Whether you're organising a workshop, creating a magnetic storage area or developing a custom magnetic mounting solution, this red 500mm self-adhesive magnetic strip provides a convenient combination of magnetic attraction and adhesive installation.

Also known as a red adhesive magnetic strip, magnetic mounting strip, self-adhesive magnetic tool strip, 3M-backed magnetic strip, magnetic organiser strip or magnetic holding strip, this product is suitable for a range of organisational and light-duty mounting applications.

Please Note: Magnetic holding performance and adhesive bond strength depend on the materials, surface conditions, installation method and applied load. The maximum magnetic holding capacity has not been specified.

Allows the strip to be mounted without specialist tools for suitable applications.

No Drilling Required

Helps avoid permanent holes in compatible supporting surfaces.

Versatile Positioning

Can be installed on a range of suitable clean, smooth and dry materials.

Space-Saving Design

Provides magnetic storage without bulky mounting hardware.

Practical for Custom Projects

Useful for creating magnetic holding areas in workshops, cabinets and workspaces.

Important: Adhesive performance depends on surface preparation, substrate compatibility, environmental conditions and the applied load.

The specific 3M adhesive series and its rated bond strength have not been supplied.

Magnetic Holding for Compatible Steel Items

The magnetic face is designed to attract suitable ferromagnetic materials.

This makes the strip useful for organising compatible steel components and creating convenient magnetic holding areas.

Potentially Suitable Items

• Small steel tools

• Lightweight steel accessories

• Ferromagnetic fasteners

• Steel components

• Magnetic workshop accessories

• Compatible metal fixtures

The number and weight of items that can be securely held depend on the strip's magnetic strength, contact area and mounting orientation.

Important: The magnetic pull force and maximum load capacity have not been specified. Always test the complete installation before relying on the strip to hold an item.

High-Visibility Red Finish

The red colour makes this magnetic strip easy to identify in workshops, garages and industrial environments.

Red magnetic accessories can be particularly useful where visibility and clear identification are important.

Benefits of the Red Colour

• Easy to locate in busy workspaces

• Provides a distinctive visual appearance

• Useful for colour-coded organisation

• Suitable for identifying designated storage areas

• Complements workshop and industrial environments

The red finish also offers a practical way to distinguish one magnetic storage area from another.

Practical 500mm Length

The 500mm length provides an extended magnetic holding area suitable for a variety of organisational and mounting applications.

Its elongated profile allows compatible items to be arranged along the magnetic face, subject to available magnetic holding strength.

Benefits of the 500mm Size

• Useful for organising multiple small items

• Practical for workbenches and cabinets

• Suitable for custom magnetic mounting projects

The strip measures 500mm long, 15mm wide and 6mm thick, providing a compact profile for installation in areas where space is limited.

Slim 15mm Width and 6mm Thickness

The narrow 15mm width allows the strip to be installed in locations where a wider magnetic mounting bar may not be practical.

The 6mm thickness provides a defined profile that should be considered when planning mounting clearances.

Advantages of the Compact Profile

• Suitable for narrow mounting locations

• Helps minimise occupied surface area

• Practical for cabinet and workbench installations

• Useful for custom magnetic fixtures

• Allows discreet magnetic storage arrangements

The exact magnetic material and construction have not been specified.

How to Install the Self-Adhesive Magnetic Strip

For best results, careful surface preparation is essential.

Installation Guide

1. Select a suitable surface. Choose a compatible, stable mounting surface capable of supporting the intended application.

2. Clean the surface. Remove dust, grease, oil, moisture and other contaminants that may interfere with adhesive bonding.

3. Allow the surface to dry. Ensure the mounting area is completely dry before installation.

4. Check positioning. Measure and confirm the intended location before removing the adhesive backing.

5. Remove the backing liner. Carefully expose the 3M self-adhesive layer.

6. Apply the strip. Position the strip carefully and press firmly along its length to establish good adhesive contact.

7. Allow the adhesive to develop its bond. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidance regarding application temperature and curing time, where available.

8. Test before loading. Check both adhesive attachment and magnetic holding performance before placing items on the strip.

Please Note: The specific 3M adhesive type has not been identified, so exact surface compatibility, application temperature and bond-development time should be confirmed before critical use.

Compatible Magnetic Materials

The magnetic face is designed to attract suitable ferromagnetic materials.

Commonly Magnetic Materials

• Mild steel

• Carbon steel

• Many steel tools

• Ferromagnetic fasteners

• Certain stainless steel grades

• Compatible steel accessories

Non-Magnetic Materials
