Hangsterfer’s 5080 Coolant – High-Performance, Low-Maintenance Coolant for Demanding Applications

by Bernard Martin

Hangsterfer’s 5080 Coolant is an advanced Vegetable-Based Micro-Emulsion
approved by leading Aerospace and Medical companies.

In today’s shop, you’re juggling tight tolerances, tricky materials, and long cycle times—all while keeping an eye on health, safety, and sustainability. That’s why more shops are switching to Hangsterfer’s 5080 Coolant—a next-gen vegetable-based micro-emulsion that checks all the boxes for performance, safety, and environmental responsibility.

Whether you're roughing titanium, finish-cutting medical components, or just tired of dealing with stinky sumps and slippery floors, 5080 is built to help you machine better, longer, and cleaner.

A New Breed of Coolant for Demanding Work
Hangsterfer’s 5080 is unlike most coolants you’ve used. It’s vegetable-based, free of boron, chlorine, formaldehyde, secondary amines, and anything that would land on a “Substance of Very High Concern” list. It’s bio-hard, so it doesn’t grow bacteria or fungus, yet it’s also biodegradable and doesn’t require any biocides to keep your sump stable.

And this isn’t just a “green” product on paper. It’s approved and certified by aerospace and medical OEMs including Airbus, Boeing, Rolls Royce, Safran, Pratt & Whitney, Bombardier, and more—so you know it holds up where precision and material integrity really matter.

What Makes 5080 a Shop Favorite?
Let’s start with visibility. The translucent fluid gives you a clear view of the work zone, even under high-pressure through-spindle coolant. Foam is minimal to none. Your machine windows stay clean, and 5080 can be filtered down to below 5 microns without stripping out additives—so your tool life and finish don’t suffer from poor coolant quality.

You’ll also notice the difference in the air. With low oil and hydrocarbon content, there’s less mist, less slip, and less drag-out. That means your floors stay safer, your shop smells better, and your coolant consumption goes way down. Bonus: cleaner chips mean higher scrap value.  Oh,and if you've heard people talk about how much they loved Hangsterfer’s S-787 coolant, this is it!  It's just got a new name designation as 5080!

Boost Tool Life and Cut Like a Pro
Hangsterfer’s 5080 isn't just safe and stable—it performs. The fluid contains surface-active ingredients that reduce cutting forces and allow the material to flow without welding to the tool. That’s a big deal on gummy alloys like aluminum, nickel-based alloys, and titanium. You’ll see measurable gains in:

• Cutting speed
• Feed rate
• Depth of cut
• Surface finish
• Tool life

All that translates into more parts per shift and less downtime from insert changes or tool scrapping.

Run Cleaner, Longer, and Worry-Free
5080 doesn’t just last—it holds up. Because it resists biological breakdown and tramp oil contamination, it stays in spec longer without frequent adjustments. Once you’ve got your concentration set, it pretty much takes care of itself. It’s low-odor, mild to skin, doesn’t damage paint, and is compatible with machine elastomers, so your equipment and operators stay protected.
