Rustlick 72055 Synthetic Dielectric Edm Fluid 5 Gal

Product Description

The RUSTLICK 72055 is a synthetic dielectric fluid engineered for electric discharge machining (EDM) applications. Sold in a 5-gallon pail, this oil-based, green-colored liquid serves as the dielectric medium in EDM systems, providing electrical insulation between the electrode and workpiece while flushing eroded particles from the cutting zone. Key performance attributes include a high flash point, high dielectric strength, low viscosity, low power factor, and low acid value. The fluid resists thermal degradation at amperages up to 400 amps and contains no aromatic compounds, making it virtually odorless during machining operations.

This fluid is suited for EDM operations on a wide range of workpiece materials, including ferrous metals, aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. It is used in both sinker and wire EDM equipment in production machine shops, tool-and-die operations, and precision fabrication facilities. The 5-gallon pail format is appropriate for shops that perform regular EDM work and need a reliable, top-off supply of dielectric fluid on hand.

Key Features

• High dielectric strength and high flash point for safer operation at elevated power levels
• Low viscosity supports efficient particle flushing from the machining gap
• Resists thermal degradation up to 400 amps of discharge current
• Contains no aromatic compounds - virtually odorless in use
• Compatible with ferrous metals, aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper workpieces
• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in EDM systems where a synthetic dielectric fluid is specified. Compatible with aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, and ferrous metal workpiece materials as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

EDM dielectric fluid is serviced by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians following the EDM equipment manufacturer's procedures. Before servicing the dielectric reservoir, power down the EDM unit and allow system components to cool. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling fluids, in accordance with OSHA requirements and the product safety data sheet. Dispose of spent fluid in compliance with applicable local regulations for oil-based metalworking fluids.
