What is Ferrofluid? In short, it is a liquid that responds to magnets and magnetic fields. Ferrofluid is an extremely fine powder, coated with a soap-like material called a surfactant, and suspended in a mineral oil liquid base. The resulting magnetic suspension is called a ferrofluid. When no magnetic field is present, ferrofluid behaves and flows like a normal liquid. However, when a magnet or magnetic field is introduced, the ferrofluid is attracted to the field. The ferrofluid aligning itself to the magnetic fields creates fun and interesting shapes and lines, letting you see what a magnetic field looks like.

Please take care when handling ferrofluid. Besides being fun to play with, it also is capable of staining everything it comes into contact with. Please make sure to take care when using it.

Ferrofluid should never be used for applications involving loudspeakers. Ferrofluid can be hazardous or even fatal if swallowed or if it enters airways. Ferrofluid can cause skin irritation or serious eye irritation.
