Dumont
and Fontax Tweezers
Fine and Accurate Tweezers
1. DUMONT Tweezers
Developed in 1875 by Arnold Dumont in La Sagne, Switzerland. Dumont produces high quality handmade tweezers, and has gained the popularity of all researchers over the years. There is a variety of material which is used to make Dumont tweezers, as is shown in the list below:
- Biological Grade: Made from Dumoxel steel, the highest quality steel that is available. These tweezers have very fine points, they are non-magnetic, and anti-corrosive. They are the most reliable for all of your precision work.
- High Precision Grade: Made from (Inox) stainless steel, these tweezers have fine points and they can be used as a substitute for Biological Grade when non-magnetic tweezers are not required.
- Epoxy Coated: Made from non-magnetic steel with an epoxy covered handle (tips are not coated); ideal for working in conductive environments.
- Medical Grade: These tweezers are made from stainless steel and they are anti-magnetic and come with a clamping ring, which slides easily into a locking or release position. The tweezers have serrated handles.
DUMOSTAR
Made from high technology alloy steel these tweezers are non-magnetic. This new alloy offers outstanding results and unsurpassed durability.
FEATURES:
- High resistance to fatigue, module of elasticity: 210,000 MPA
- Hardness tested: 720 Vickers / 61 Rockwell on the tips
- Resistance to high temperatures: 550°C
- Resistance to: Sea water, HCl, H3PO4, HNO3, H2SO4, neutral and alkaline. They are available in Biological Grade (super fine points) and High-precision (H/P) grade (fine points).
2. FONTAX Tweezers
These tweezers were developed in 1958. Fontax is known for the manufacturing of high quality precision instruments for use in research as well as industry. The following types are available:
- Taxal™ Alloy: These tweezers are made from a vacuum treated Chromium, Cobalt, and Titanium mixture These tweezers provide durability, and ease of manipulation. Taxal™ alloy tips are 100% anti- magnetic, practically wear proof, and they are permanently tampered. These properties remain unchanged from 0 – 500°C. These tweezers are the highest quality material in the Fontax line.
- Chromosteel: Made from chromium steel these tweezers are non-magnetic and may be used in all applications. These tweezers have a guaranteed alignment, and are specially finished under the microscope.
- PTFE Coated: These tweezers are made from chromosteel and then coated with PTFE (the whole tweezer). Suitable for electronic work and with conductive materials.
