Magnets in the kitchen are no longer uncommon; see their current application: salt and pepper mills.
Salt and pepper mills
Dear Sir or Madam,
Attached are two photos of my magnetic objects, in which you have installed disc magnets (diameter 5.0 x 5.0 mm, N45 Teflon – holds 1.1 kg).
The salt and pepper mills are made of so-called Action Wood (dyed and glued birch veneer). They are turned and have ceramic grinders.
The height is 200 mm. It’s bottom diameter is 50 mm.
The lids are each held in place by 5 x 5 mm magnets.
Thanks to the appropriate magnet arrangement, the grain pattern is always harmonious. The mills are very popular.
This small disc magnet with a 5 mm diameter is coated with a Teflon coating. The black coating is particularly abrasion-resistant and provides excellent protection against moisture. This strong neodymium magnet can therefore also be used outdoors.
Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
- Color: gray/anthracite
- Pure Teflon without Ni-Cu-Ni
- Extremely resistant to all acids and bases, alcohols, ketones, gasoline, oils, etc.
- Not resistant to sodium
- Highly abrasion-resistant
- Total coating thickness: 12-25 micrometers

What is Teflon?
Teflon refers to the material polytetrafluoroethylene.
Teflon™ is a registered trademark. For many, Teflon™ is a synonym for polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE.
PTFE is the name of the plastic itself and is the abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene.
PTFE (Teflon) is composed of fluorine and carbon and is a non-multipart, straight-structured, partially crystal-forming plastic.
Fluorine and carbon are two chemical elements that together form the material PTFE, or Teflon.
