| US-1 Dielectric Oil
Transor Filter has achieved a high level of recognition as a leader in EDM filtration. Working with builders and end users we have had significant exposure to various oils and how they affect performance. Through this experience, US-1 dielectric fluid came into being.
Irvin Kaage, Transor Filter USA President:
"Our primary business is filtration, but because we are filtering oil you can't help but accumulate information over the years that makes a person knowledgeable about oils. We took this information and formulated a dielectric that works extremely well in the EDM process and our ONE MICRON filtration system. Most important is that it is available at an affordable price. A major aerospace company employing over 100 EDM was using many different oils and wanted to standardize. We were working with them on a filtration project and suggested they try US dielectric. To our surprise, they chose US-1 as the preferred product for performance and value."
Whether you EDM small parts or large forging dies, US-1 is a product you can rely on.
Five Key Points to Consider When Choosing an EDM Fluid
Transor Filter specializes in oil filtration and for over twenty years has been asked to filter dielectrics of all types. When reviewing our customers' requirements certain criteria appear regularly on the dielectric wish list.
They include the following:
1. Odor Free and Colorless Users don't want oil that is dark and discolored with an established scent before the product is even removed from the drum. Clear, odor free fluids create an atmosphere conducive to excellence.
2. Operator Friendly Daily and excessive exposure to a dielectric product can irritate an operators skin. While all individuals have different sensitivity levels, choosing an fluid that is natural and pure can substantially reduce the chance of dermatitis.
3. Low Viscosity This can be a relative term, but generally speaking, dielectrics that have viscosities of 37 SUS @ 72 degrees F or lower, improve flushing and particle settling. This contributes to faster machining rates and fine surface finishes.
4. Flash Point Safety is always a concern, thus oils with flash points in the range of 220 degrees to 245 degrees F are generally preferred. To exceed this level, the viscosity increases and affects machine rates. If safety concerns persist, perhaps a chiller should be considered.
5. Consistency High quality products do not fluctuate. When filtered properly, a quality product, even when exposed to heat and contamination, can have exceptional life expectancy. US-1 offers great value to users as it combines exceptional performance at an affordable price. Other dielectrics may promise more, but the US-1 delivers.
