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.

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.
