Molybdenum disulfide gives excellent performance to our Moly Plate, Moly-Lit, Moly-Grease Plus & Moly Spray

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.

Molybdenum Disulfide is the best lubricant for Pins and Latches in Electrical Boxes

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.

Why use an Anti-Seize Compound instead of a Grease that both contain Molybdenum Disulfide?

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.

Why use Anti-Seize instead of Grease and Oils

The goal is to reduce maintenance costs with problems associated with metal to metal contact including corrosion (chemical and environmental) friction, high temperature, load and torque. Anti Seize does all of what grease does but much much better because it has much higher solid content. Solids include Copper, Graphite, Aluminum, Graphite, Ceramic, Molybdenum Disulfide, and Nickel. Solids is what acts as a barrier between the two mated parts and reduces the above mentioned problems. Also, Grease and Oils do not last more than 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit before it leaves the parts it is protecting. The Solids continue protecting up to the melting point of the solid, which depending on the formula is between 1800 to 2600 degrees Fahrenheit.
