Selection notes
Confirm whether the EDM machine requires oil or deionised water. Select dielectric fluid for machine approval, flash point and filtration. Machining oil, hydraulic oil and EDM dielectric fluid are not interchangeable.
Product families for technical selection, not a direct interchange chart. Confirm the exact grade, current UAE product data sheet, OEM approval and lubricant compatibility before use.
