Information about Steels/Alloys used:

• Inox 02 is composed of C, Mn, Cr and Si and is a standard magnetic stainless steel. This alloy is not as hard as carbon steels because it contains Chromium. Inox (02) will resist temperatures of around 400 degrees C (DIN 50 914) but cannot be sterilized
• Inox 08 is a medical stainless steel composed of C, Mn, Cr, Mo and V that provides an excellent resistant to corrosion and a good resistance to corrosion and a good resistance to salt. Although not as hard as Carbon steels, Inox (08) offers excellent resistance to corrosion. This magnetic alloy supports temperatures of around 400 degrees C (DIN 50 914) and is suitable for autoclave sterilization at 180 degrees C.
• Carbon Steel (01) is an extremely hard alloy (> 59 HRC) composed of C, Mn and Si. While Carbon ensures strong tips, it will nevertheless easily rust. This alloy is magnetic and cannot be sterilized.
• Dumoxel (03) alloy is composed of C, Cr, Ni, Mo and Cu. This alloy was developed and patented by Dumont to offer the best in resistance to corrosion thanks to its high concentration of molybdenum and chromium. Dumoxel also guarantees an excellent resistance to sulphuric environments, hydrochloric acid, as well as to all other mineral and organic acids. Dumoxel is 95% antimagnetic, resistant up to temperatures of around 400 degrees C (DIN 50 914) and is suitable for autoclave sterilization at 270 degrees C.
• Dumostar (09) – The best alloy from Dumont – This Dumont patented alloy is composed of C, Cr. Mo, Mn, Co, Ni and Si. Dumostar is more elastic and more resistant to corrosion than the best stainless steels. It is also perfectly compatible with human tissues and is resistant to mineral and organic acids as well as to salt. Although slightly more expensive than other alloys, Dumostar is 100% antimagnetic and is resistant to sterilization of up to 500 degrees C. This is the most cost effective and appropriate alloy for laboratory use.
• Tweezers are also available in the following Steels/Alloys: Antimagnetic (04); Titanium (07); Nickel (05); Black Ceramic Tips; White Ceramic Tips and Brass (06). All enquiries are welcome.
