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).
