Molybdenum Disulfide Coatings (Moly Coating)

Molybdenum Disulfide Coatings (also known as Moly Coating) are commonly used in applications where load carrying capacity, operating temperature and coefficient of friction are primary concerns. This coating provides effective lubrication in a wide range of loads, in many cases exceeding 250,000 psi. Moly coatings lubricate sacrificially by transferring lubricant between the two mating surfaces, which helps to reduce wear and coefficient of friction. Molybdenum Disulfide coatings are a dry film lubricant.

We offer Molykote coatings, Everlube coatings, Lube-Lok coatings, Perma-Slik coatings, Ecoalube coatings, Ever-Slik coatings, and more.

Moly coating is a combination of molybdenum disulfide lubricant and high performance resins. Molybdenum coatings are thermally cured and thoroughly bonded to the base metal of the coated part.
