Molybdenite (molybdenum disulfide)

Description

A fine black powder that occurs naturally as the mineral molybdenite. Molybdenum disulfide is greasy and is resistant to high temperatures and pressures. Molybdenum disulfide quickly attaches to the surface of metals to form a slick, friction resistant surface. Because of this property, it is used as a powder lubricant for machinery and moving parts, particularly in guns, weapons, and armor. However, it can corrode many metals and is not recommended for long term use.

Synonyms and Related Terms

molybdic sulfide; molybdenum sulfide; Molysulfide; Dri-Slide; molybdenite; sulfure de molybdène (Fr.); Molybdändisulfid (Deut.); Molybdänsulfid (Deut.); disulfuro de molibdeno (Esp.); sulfureto de molibdénio (Port.)
