Company Description


Erodex (UK) Limited has for many years, due to the unsurpassed quality of its graphites and the excellence of its "state-of-the-art" machine shop, been at the forefront of the E.D.M. industry.

Products of the highest quality allied to first class service - this is the Erodex policy, just as it was at the company's launch in 1974.  Constant vigilance is required to ensure that this policy endures.  We believe that the best customer service can only be provided when a dedication to staff training is a priority.

Since 1974 Erodex has been the sole official stockist and distributor of Poco Graphite Inc and Toyo Tanso Limited.

At Erodex our machine shop will pursue excellence at all times in order to complement the unequalled quality of Erodex materials.  The combination of these two factors has placed Erodex in the vanguard of a number of industries.

E.D.M. raw material sales and a finished electrode manufacturing service; metallurgical applications such as con-cast dies and sintering tools; semi-conductor tooling in both purified graphites and silicon carbide; a first class carbon brush manufacturing service; a complete "mechanical" carbon service for bearings, seals, vanes and other products and vacuum furnace carbon fibre insulation and furniture, all these are part of the Erodex product range.

Our sales force at Erodex is and will continue to be the most technically proficient and supportive in the industry.

In line with our commitment to offering only the highest quality products, Erodex has been assessed and approved by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance Limited, thereby adhering to the quality assurance standards of BS.EN IS09002.

Our quality management system is applicable to both "special to customer" products and raw material stock items.

Dedication to providing quality products allied to unstinting service has always been and remains the Erodex creed.

Sink Erosion

Erodex offers a complete "umbrella" service for sink E.D.M. users.

A full range of raw materials which includes the most comprehensive range of graphites in the industry plus a 'state-of-the-art', machine shop service.

All metallic electrode materials in plate, rod, wire and tube form

  • Tapping electrodes
  • Tooling aids
  • Filters

Wire Erosion

For wire erosion users Erodex has strived to apply the same philosophy that prevails in sink E.D.M.  The finest quality materials and the most efficient service will be maintained while always striving to give the maximum value for money to the customer.

The range of wires and ancillary products clearly demonstrates the success of this idea.

Mechanical Carbons

The development of carbon and graphite to produce grades suitable for the very highest demands of high temperature, lubrication, chemical inertness, dimensional stability and impermeabillity together with machining techniques and impregnation processes puts Erodex in a strong position for supplying:

  • Radial Bearings
