Umicore updates its ‘Standard Specifications’ regularly based on customer feedback, market trends and technological developments.

For each product the ‘Standard Specifications’ show:

  • Product name and description

  • Available materials for these products
  • Standard production capabilities and tolerances
  • Temper

In order to speed up the processing of product inquiries and orders we encourage you to use the terminology used in the ‘Standard Specifications’ and to clearly indicate any requests that deviate from these ‘Standard Specifications’, such as tighter specifications.

Throughout the ‘Standard Specification’ series all dimensions are provided in mm and temperatures in °C. Conversions to inches, feet and °F are for reference only.
