Shell Macron® Oil EDM 130 (formerly EDM 135)
Product Code: 61046

Electric discharge machining is a metal removal process involving the removal of material from the workpiece by a series of controlled electric discharges or sparks. The tool and the workpiece are insulated by a special dielectric fluid. Shell Macron® Oil EDM 130 is a premium dielectric fluid meeting the requirements for insulation and controlled dielectric discharge during electric discharge machining operations. Shell Macron® Oil EDM 130 is formulated with a highly refined, narrow cut paraffinic base stock. The product is colorless and virtually odorless which provides a cleaner and more pleasant atmosphere in the workplace. The product exhibits a relatively high flash point that reduces the possibility of fire. The low viscosity of the fluid provides good circulation through the spark gap and more rapid removal and settling of metal fines. Shell Macron® Oil EDM 130 has excellent oxidation stability which reduces the formation of oxidation products that will alter the dielectric strength of the fluid. Shell Macron® Oil EDM 130 exhibits a high dielectric strength which provides insulation of the tool and workpiece and controlls electric discharge during the machining operation. Shell Macron® Oil EDM 130 is also extremely effective as a glass grinding fluid.
