AND HOW
DOES MOLY LUBRICATE?
A
natural lubricant mined principally from ore deposits in the
Colorado Rockies, Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2 or
Moly), is one of the best lubricants known to science. Similar
in appearance to graphite, Moly is twice as slippery, providing
a tough, durable lubricating film. It has a load carrying
capacity from 225,000 upwards to 500,000 PSI which is beyond the
yield strength of most metals.
Moving
parts are protected by Moly's magnetic-like attraction to metal.
When Moly is applied to metal surfaces and pressure is applied,
it fills the pores and "bonds" to the surface, minimizing
metal-to-metal contact maintaining an extremely low coefficient
of friction. It will build to no more than .0002 of an inch,
therefore, tolerances are unaffected.
MOLY
DRY FILM LUBRICANT is a dispersion
of colloidal
Molybdenum Disulfide and a special binding resin that provides
excellent lubricity and wears better than a coating of pure
moly. Packaged as a convenient aerosol spray using a hydrocarbon
propellant, it forms a tough lubricant film upon curing.
Designed for use where a strong but dry lubricating film is
required or desired, without the aftereffects of a wet, greasy
residual film of conventional lubricants.
Withstands High Temperature Applications
Can be
used in high temperature applications up to 6500F and
in applications where the temperature might go as high as 7500F
intermittently. It is a particularly useful lubricant and
release compound for applications where extremely high pressures
are encountered, including anti-seize and press fit
applications.
Helps
Resist Rust and Corrosion
Also
provides superior rust and corrosion resistance by its plating
action. Since Molybdenum Disulfide is virtually inert, oxidation
is kept to a minimum.
MOLY
DRY FILM can be applied as a strong
adhesive film to a wide variety of materials with little or no
surface pretreatment required. This includes both ferrous base
and alloy metals as well as most other commonly used metals,
plastics, woods and glass.
WIDE VARIETY OF USES
MOLY DRY FILM LUBRICANT is ideal for a wide variety of normal
and unusual applications:
-
Chains, Gears, Hinges
-
Automotive and
Industrial Gaskets
-
Maintenance Lubrication
-
Dies, Thread
-
Stop-off Plating
Coatings
-
Rubber Moly Release
Compound
-
Gear Sliding Surfaces
-
Engine Assembly
-
Drawing, Piercing, Hole
Extruding
-
Conveyors, couplings,
belts, pulleys

Also
excellent for coating parts to prevent corrosion during shipping
and yet have them lubricated and ready to use when they arrive
at the site. |
