Molybdenum disulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula MoS2. The compound is classified as a di-chalcogenide.

It is a silvery black solid that occurs as the mineral molybdenite, the principal ore for molybdenum. MoS2 is relatively unreactive. It is unaffected by dilute acids and oxygen. In appearance and feel, molybdenum disulfide is similar to graphite. It is widely used as a solid lubricant because of its low friction properties and robustness.

Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Typical Applications:

a) Dry lubricant for cold metal forming and extruding operations

b) Maintenance lubricant where oil and grease cannot be used

c) Friction reducing additive for grease and oil
