Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Characteristics

Lubrication Knowledge Menu | Products and Services Directory

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ). Like graphite, MoS2 has a low friction coefficient, but, unlike  graphite, it does not rely on adsorbed vapors or moisture. In fact, adsorbed vapors may actually result in a slight, but insignificant, increase in friction. MoS2 also has greater load-carrying capacity and its manufacturing quality is better controlled. Thermal stability in nonoxidizing environments is acceptable to 1100°C (2012°F), but in air it may be reduced to a range of 350 to 400°C (662 to 752°F).
