Printable ferrous rubber: a mounting surface for magnetic media
Flexible media made of iron powder suspended in a polyurethane resin, covered with a ready-to-print white PVC front face (UV, Latex, eco-solvent and solvent inks). It is not magnetized: it is the surface that receives magnets and magnetic media. Your graphics can be fixed, moved and replaced without screws or glue. Its maximum service temperature is 85 °C.
Ferrous rubber is available in two master roll formats and can be cut to shape on request. It can also be adhesive-backed on quotation for direct mounting on a panel, partition or rigid substrate. Want to check the result before starting your production run? Request a sample to test printing.
Key strengths
- Ready to print: white PVC front face, compatible with UV, Latex, eco-solvent and solvent inks.
- Mounting surface for magnetic media: the iron powder attracts magnets and magnetic rubber media.
- Flexible, but not too thin: the 0.7 mm thickness guarantees a good magnetic hold and is compatible with all our magnetic ranges. The media remains easy to handle, cut and install.
- 2 master roll formats: 1.24 m × 10 m and 1 m × 15 m.
- Cut to shape: on request, to your template.
- Adhesive backing on quotation: for bonded mounting on the substrate of your choice.
- Tested in our workshop: we are printers and use every media on our own machines.
- Stock in Sassenage (Isère): fast shipping across Europe.
- Free samples: test the printing before you order.
What is it used for?
- Custom whiteboard: print your graphic, then add a marker-compatible lamination to get an erasable surface.
- Modular magnet-compatible wall: create a decorative or functional wall on which magnets attach and can be repositioned at will.

Frequently asked questions
Magnetic elastomer is the active element (magnetized), while ferrous elastomer is a passive receiving surface, made of a flexible matrix loaded with iron particles. Ferrous rubber serves as a fixed base (mounted on a wall or rigid panel), allowing your clients to change printed visuals on magnetic rubber in seconds without damaging the base.
Our standard ferrous rubber has a calibrated thickness of 0.6 mm.
This technical compromise was validated in our own production workshop to guarantee:
- Ideal flexibility for rolling and application without risk of permanent creasing.
- Optimal ferrous load density providing excellent magnetic attraction.
No: solid steel sheeting or a lacquered metal panel offers superior magnetic hold because the metal mass is pure and continuous. Since ferrous rubber is composed of a loaded polymer resin, the grip is about 60 to 70% of that of solid steel. However, it is perfectly suited for holding 0.25 mm (20 g/cm²) labeling magnets or stronger ones.
The 0.6 mm ferrous rubber can be worked with:
- Digital flatbed cutter (Zünd, Kongsberg): Universal or oscillating blade for precise contours and clean edges.
- Print shop guillotine: Very effective for straight stack cuts.
- Workshop utility knife with steel ruler: Perfectly suited for on-site adjustments.
Avoid vinyl friction-feed plotters, which are unsuited to the weight and thickness of the resin. We can quote for cutting this media to your dimensions.
Yes, we offer a complete printer-to-printer subcontracting service:
- High-definition direct UV printing on the white PVC face.
- Application of high-tack adhesive on the back and matte or gloss protective lamination.
- Digital custom shape cutting.
- Neutral packaging and direct drop-shipping using your delivery notes (white label).
- Winding: Always printable or adhesive face outwards on a 76 mm (3") core to prevent delamination of the protective liner.
- Storage: Preferably vertical on a rack or flat on a level pallet.
- Temperature: Between 15 and 25 °C, protected from humidity.
The ferrous rubber is coated with a white PVC compatible with all market inks: UV (flatbed or roll), Latex, eco-solvent, and solvent. We use each medium on our own machines: feel free to tell us your equipment or test it directly by requesting a sample.
We use a modified, high-cohesion solvent acrylic adhesive reinforced with a non-woven mesh, selected for its permanent hold on smooth and flat surfaces (melamine, Forex, Dibond, sheet metal, painted drywall).
Application recommendations:
- Setting time: Allow 24 to 48 hours to cure at room temperature before bearing any load or applying magnetic visuals.
- The ferrous base can also be supplied raw without glue if you prefer to mount your own usual adhesive.
