In our opinion, ceramic magnets are one of the most overlooked and underappreciated magnets. Not only are they strong, but they are usually inexpensive, making them a smart purchase for business owners and individuals alike.  Ceramic magnets are used in everyday items like fridge magnets, loudspeakers, and musical instruments as well as more specialized items like surgical drapes and sweeper magnets. Their wide variety of uses is thanks to their resistance to demagnetization and corrosion, both of which can be really important when it comes to using magnets in a home or workplace with varying conditions.  Their biggest disadvantage lies in their brittleness as they may break, crack, or chip upon sudden collision with other magnets or metals. But don’t let that scare you away!
