MicroLubrol offers exceptional quality Molybdenum Disulfide Technical Grade Powder. Molybdenum Disulfide is a solid lubricant that is used in industrial, manufacturing, mining, marine, agriculture, and automotive applications to reduce friction and wear. It lubricates metal surfaces by natural metal-to-metal contact or by manually burnishing the powder onto the metal surface. It is used as an additive to impart extreme pressure performance to lubricants, and to impart lubricity in other industrial and commercial applications. It is also useful as a metal-to-plastic lubricant at low to medium contact pressures.
