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.

When selecting an adhesive one needs to take into consideration the substrates surface energy as a factor in determining which adhesive is used and whether a primer is necessary. All metals have a high surface energy and thus are relatively easy to bond to. High Surface Energy Plastics include Kapton® (Polymide), Phenolic, Nylon, Alkyd Enamel, Polyester, Epoxy Paint,Polyurethane Paint, ABS, Polycarbonate, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Noryl®, Acrylic, and Polane® Paint. I recently had a project for bonding to two small injection molded pieces made of pvc resin for a presentation laser pointer. I selected the Parfix 3422 Ethyl Cyanoacrylate, as a surface insensitive adhesive was not needed. Low surface Energy Plastics include PVA, Polystyrene, Acetal, EVA, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Tedlar®, and Teflon®. These might include both a Surface Insensitive Adhesive and a Primer.

Because the bond between the cyanoacrlate and the skin is created so quickly, rushing to pull skin apart "before it bonds" is pointless. Just remain calm and take your time. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are rapid curing, strong bonding agents which will bond human tissue and skin in seconds. Experience has shown that accidents due to cyanoacrylates are handled best by passive, non-surgical first aid. Cyanoacrylates work best with tension. Pulling bonded materials apart (fingers included) will strengthen the bond. Cyanoacrylates have the lowest strength in a peel mode. Acetone a Debonder will also release the cured adhesive.Treatment of specific types of accidents are given below. With the Skin: Immerse bonded areas in warm soapy water. Peel or roll skin apart. Peel the skin apart with a spatula, teaspoon handle or a pencil by pushing it between the bonded areas. Remove cured adhesive with warm, soapy water. This may take several applications. Acetone or a Debonder is also effective in removing cured cyanoacrylate off of skin. With the eyelid:If the eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball wash them thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action within 1-4 days. There will be no residual damage. Do not try to force eyes open. With the Eyeball: Cyanoacrylates adhesives will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over time, usually within several hours. This will cause periods of weeping and double vision until cured adhesive is cleared. With the mouth: If lips are accidentally stuck together, apply copious amounts of warm water and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva inside the mouth. Peel or roll, (do not pull) lips apart. It is almost impossible to swallow cyanoacrylate. The adhesive solidifies upon contact with saliva (moisture) and could adhere to the inside of the mouth. Saliva will lift the adhesive in 1-2 days, avoid swallowing the adhesive after detachment.Cyanoacrylate gives off heat, exothermic reaction, when curing. In rare cases a large quantity can cause a burn. Burns should be treated normally after the cured adhesive is removed from the skin as described above. It should never be necessary to surgically remove cyanoacrylate or to separate bonded skin.

Molybdenum Disulfide is known for it's ability to keep a part lubricated and low wear protective properties under extreme pressure. With Anti-Seize Compounds there is a lot higher percentage of solids, Molybdenum Disulfide is a solid, as a percentage of the compound than grease. Solids cost more than the carrier, such a petroleum o synthetic but solids is what protects most your parts.
