Application
TS-001 Moly Powder is frequently used as a lubricant in applications
such as metalforming dies, threaded parts, sleeve bearings, liquid oxygen valves and electrical
contacts in relays and switches. It is applied as a wear-in lubricant on machine tools, machine
parts, and any special application requiring a dry lubricant. Precision shooting competitors coat
bullets with moly powder.
Apply a thin film. Burnish it into the surface by rubbing with a lint-free cloth.
Use a tumbler for coating bullets.
Benefits
TS-001 Moly Powder reduces both torque and friction. In some applications,
it is a dry anti-sieze meduim. Moly powder lubricates even when pressures exceed 500,000 psi., and
it is resistant to liquid or gaseous oxygen, radiation, chemical and vacuum environments. TS-001 Moly Powder
helps prevent fretting, corrosion, galling and seizing.
Specifications
The temperature range for TS Moly Powder is -375 to 750°F (in atmosphere).
