Magnet αGEL®

Magnet αGEL® (Alpha GEL) First of all, thank you for coming. The magnet αGEL® is one of the newest addition to the world of αGEL® , globally known for its exceptional shock absorbing, vibration damping capabilities. It is backed up by years of our expertise and experiences in creating and mastering a variety of softness mainly through silicone. "Discover Softness" under the logo succinctly expresses our aim.

Probably the world's first GEL magnet, very soft like a gummi bear candy, has been lately released to solicit applications or partners since we are more than just a material developer by nature, offering soft products tailored to meet with partners' needs. This page has been quickly set up to respond to a growing number of inquiries, prompted by the introduction at the TED (Technology Entertainment Design) Conference at Monterey, California on February 24th. This forum is globally reputed to be a catalyst for creative, intriguing, inspiring, entertaining ideas.

Before you ask for samples or more information for the application you have in mind, please read the following first and answer questions in your email. Your inquiry will be responded in the order we will have received, but other factors will also be considered such as urgency, innovation, creativity, impact on business, etc.

Once again, thank you for your interest in the exciting magnet αGEL® . We look forward to communicating with you soon.

1. Sample:

We only have 1 (one) kind available and no other shapes will be available until mutual consensus is reached. For now, any other shapes of samples will be produced through injection molding, which is costly, and we are investigating if there is an economical way for potential customers. Technical details of the currently available sample are listed below.

2. Custom mass-production conditions:

Hardness, size, shape, and magnetic strength and direction are customizable, but not color (black). Injection molding will be used for the custom mass-production.

3. Inquiry:

Please provide information to the following questions by inquiry form.
(A) Why are you looking for a soft magnet?
(B) Application in mind
(C) If it is customized to suit your purpose, what are the requirements you know now?
(D) What is an annual expected volume of the custom magnet αGEL®?
