What Are the Different Types of Molybdenum Grease,2013 - I

There are many different types of molybdenum grease. This lubricating substance may be called moly grease, molybdenum disulfide, moly lube, or even just moly. Numerous companies manufacture and sell molybdenum disulfide lubricants, so there is quite a variety among products. Moly lubricants are also marketed as industrial, anti-seize compounds, so other names include gasket coating, permanent thread lubricant, kiln lubricant and metal forming lubricant for alloys.

Molybdenum lubricants are available in the form of greases, aerosols, powders and super-fine powders. Moly even comes in various grades, such as technical grade and technical super-fine grade. Some companies will create a custom formula of molybdenum grease according to a customer’s specifications.

One type of molybdenum disulfide or molybdenum grease is mixed with a non-flammable solvent. Upon application, the solvent carries the moly throughout the area in need of lubrication and then evaporates, leaving a thin, uniform coating of moly behind. This type of treatment or product is sometimes called moly dry plating.

Another type of molybdenum grease is made from a mixture of molybdenum disulfide mixed with graphite and a synthetic, non-melting carrier to disperse the material. The mixture plates surfaces with a layer of lubrication that can withstand extreme temperatures, rust, and corrosion. It is also water resistant. This type of moly is used in industrial applications when reactive metals must be treated to prevent galling.
