Molybdenum Disulfide Is Used as an Additive in Lubricating Grease and Coating

With the advance of modern science, technology and industry, machinery and equipment require to be highly mechanized, automated, super-large, high-precision, high-parameter, and can be used in special working conditions. Accordingly, general lubricating grease can no longer meet its lubrication requirements.

The appeal of solid lubricants promoted the lubrication technology to a new stage. This new lubricant has many superior properties, such as high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, high vacuum resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and has been widely used in high-speed flight, astronautics, electronics industry, chemical industry, machinery industry at home and abroad.

There are many types of solid lubricants, such as graphite, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), graphite fluoride, tungsten disulfide, boron nitride and so on. At present, the most widely used is molybdenum disulfide, and the best properties are boron nitride and fluorinated graphite.

MoS2 is entitled as "King of Lubrication". It is solid powder made from natural molybdenum concentrate with the advantages of anti-wear, anti-friction, high temperature resistance, extreme pressure resistance, etc. Nowadays, it is widely used as an additive in lubricating grease, powder metallurgy, modified plastics, coating and other industries and is becoming an indispensable and irreplaceable industrial additive product.

Boron nitride is a crystal composed of nitrogen atoms and boron atoms. It is used as high-temperature lubricants, mold release agents, high-frequency insulating materials, and solid-phase doping materials for semiconductors. It can be also used as high-temperature lubricants and a mold release agent for a model.

Graphite fluoride is synthesized by the "gas phase method" from the extremely toxic elemental gas fluorine with extremely high activity, which is dangerous and difficult. It is an important inorganic non-metallic material with excellent lubricity and is used as an active material for batteries and electrodes.

Chinatungsten Online is committed to producing tungsten and molybdenum products and MoS2 powder is one of the most popular products in our company.
