Edward Jones, COO | Hangsterfer’s Laboratories

Hangsterfer’s Laboratories, Inc. specializes in the research, development, and manufacture of a full-line of advanced metalworking lubricants. This includes emulsifiable oils, semi-synthetics, synthetics, straight cutting oils, drawing and forming compounds, EDM fluid and machine lubricants. Hangsterfer’s Laboratories has been committed to making the highest quality metalworking lubricants since its incorporation in 1937. As a fourth generation family business we value the health and safety of the people we work with and this concern extends to our customers as well. We only sell products we would want our family and friends to use. That is why all  of our products adhere to the highest environmental, health and safety standards without compromising on performance.

Because of today’s global marketplace, environmental compliance is more important than ever. Hangsterfer’s does not formulate products with boron, formaldehyde, secondary amines or other harsh chemicals. Our lubricants are completely free of hazardous pictograms under the new Globally Harmonized System (GHS). All Hangsterfer’s products are also compliant under the Eu’s Regulation Evaluation Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACh).

Regulatory compliance under GHS and REACh is essential for international companies, not only to protect workers but also to increase sales.

Lubricants are a commonly overlooked but essential part of the manufacturing process. According to Edward Jones, COO at Hangsterfer’s Laboratories, “surface integrity is one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing that can be improved by advanced cutting fluids”. Another challenge is improving tolerances.

However both of these challenges can be overcome by using high-performance lubricants.

Using the right coolant or cutting fluid will greatly improve surface integrity, a critical aspect for many manufacturing sectors. Certain lubricant additives can solve issues with surface integrity by filling in the gaps, micro cracks, and dislocations in fresh surfaces. Additionally, advanced lubricants are better able to regulate surface temperatures at the toolworkpiece interface, substantially improving tolerances in precision machining.

Even though they tend to be the last part of the process anyone thinks about, advanced fluids help overcome many of the challenges with material and process requirements. Advanced fluids are formulated to be high-performance, nontoxic and nonhazardous. They are also easier to clean and reduce consumption. All of this saves money over time. Advanced lubricants are the answer to improving efficiencies in all manufacturing industries.

Hangsterfer’s high quality lubricants are approved for use in the aerospace, medical, and electronics industries.

They meet the highest health, safety, and environmental standards without compromise to performance. Testing has shown that Hangsterfer’s products extend tool live, improve surface quality, and increase productivity. With over 80 years of experience, Hangsterfer’s is still the leader in the next generation of metalworking lubricants.

USP: “Hangsterfer’s Products Adhere to The Highest Environmental, Health & Safety Standards Without Compromising on Performance”
