We usually the term nonmagnetic (or possibly amagnetic) to mean not magnetic. That's the opposite of magnetic, and it means the thing described has no magnetic field impressed upon it, nor will it accept one if it is applied to that thing. Nonferrous and nonmagnetic tools, for example, are used on things that are highly sensitive to damage from magnetic fields. These tools not only are not magnetized, they cannot be magnetized. They won't be attracted to a magnet.
