Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2)

By Micro Surface Corporation

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a dry film lubricant that prevents corrosion, galling, seizing and fretting to extend wear life when operating at temperatures between -350°F and +500°F and is suitable when a "wear in" period is necessary and a thicker coating is desired. Coefficient of Friction: 0.07; Thickness (in.): 0.0005"; Cure Temperature: Ambient to 400°F; Operating Temperature: 500°F. MSC recommends Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) when in addition to reducing friction, corrosion protection is also required and a thicker coating may be used. For loads under pressure MSC recommends Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) which can withstand 100,000 psi or if a thicker coating is desired Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). Components that require additional Corrosion Protection: MoS2. Components that require additional Chemical Resistance: MoS2.
