Eroding: shaping process, erosive procedure.

General hazards provoked by dielectric fluids.

The fluids used especially for diesinking demand precautionary steps due to their high risk potential regarding fire and water safety. When choosing dielectric fluids for operation, work safety issues regarding skin kindness, toxicity (low content of condiment), smoke and odour development should be taken into account.

Specific hazards

Eroding machines must be equipped with fire prevention features and air cleaning devices. Possible specific dangers are:

• fire dangers,
• health hazards through vapours,
• and skin contact with potentially hazardous dielectric fluids.
