Molybdenum disulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula MoS2. This black crystalline sulfide of molybdenum occurs as the mineral molybdenite. It is the principal ore from which molybdenum metal is extracted. The natural amorphous form is known as the rarer mineral jordisite. MoS2 is less reactive than other transition metal chalcogenides, being unaffected by dilute acids. In its appearance and feel, molybdenum disulfide is similar to graphite. Indeed, like graphite, it is widely used as a solid lubricant because of its low friction properties, sometimes to relatively high temperatures. It also bonds very well to the surface of the metal. If used in a spray form it will dry after a few minutes and will be almost impossible to get off. It has a low coefficient of friction like Teflon but handles a lot wider range of temperatures. This is the first choice as a lubricant for bearings, Chains, Cables, and anything in motion.

Taconic has developed an extensive range of adhesive tapes for the Thermal Spray industry to complement its popular PTFE coated products. These adhesive tapes have been specifically designed to perform in applications ranging from Flame and Plasma Spray to HVOF and Grit Blast. Our standard rubber topped thermal masking tape is our A1084 and our new higher adhesion version is the A1111. We have an economical option for masking overspray areas which is our 6605-07 or our 6605-10. Overspray refers to the application of any form of paint, varnish, stain or other non-water soluble airborne particulate material onto an unintended location. This concept is most commonly encountered in graffiti, auto detailing, and when commercial paint jobs drift onto unintended objects. We also have two ply fiberglass with adhesive which is out A1101.

Anti Seize Technology AST-SEAL PH is the same as Loctite 545. This is for both Hydraulic and Pneumatic Close Fitting Thread Sealing Sealing and Securing Applications. It has a unique Purple Color. Anti Seize Technology AST-SEAL HYD is the same as Loctite 569. his is for only Hydraulic Close Fitting Thread Sealing Sealing and Securing Applications. It has a brown color.

At the initial-stage of understanding the customer’s required performance properties our Adhesive Representatives cover this partial checklist: a. What is the product’s function and the specific polymer usage therein? b. What are the specific substrates to be bonded? c. What mechanical forces, shock & vibration will the assembly be subjected to? d. What is the maximum service temperature range and normal operating temperature range for the component? Is it subjected to any thermal shock or cycling? e. Will the bond be exposed to any chemicals or sterilants? f. Do you need to meet any specific standards or approvals such as USP Class VI biocompatibility, FDA food grade, NASA low outgassing, or UL94V-0 flame retardant g. Are there any required optical characteristics? h. Do you require specific thermal and/or electrical properties? i. Are there specific viscosity requirements? j. What are the manufacturing constraints cure time, personnel, occupational safety etc. k. What mixing, dispensing and curing equipment do you already have? Do you have any surface preparation equipment?

The Pins and Hinges of Electrical Boxes for Electric Companies require lubricant which can withstand up to 50,000 psi, has excellent lubrication, wicking ability, and does not attract dust. Our Moly Spray made with Molybdenum Disulfide is chosen because it withstands up to 100,000 pounds of pressure, is an excellent lubricant like Teflon, the spray form wicks well into the pins and latches, and it forms a dry film in minutes so it does not attract dust.
