DUMONT Titanium tweezers have been found to be excellent for use in the silicon chip industry because titanium tweezers do not shed very tiny particles like the stainless steel tweezers. Anytime an abrasive substance is handled and microscopic particles are a detriment, it may be best to choose titanium. Since titanium is non-magnetic, these tweezers are extremely useful when handling magnetic materials or when working in a magnetic field. Titanium is a light weight, high strength material.
