MOLYKOTE Z Powder is a high-performance molybdenum disulfide powder designed for industrial lubrication applications requiring excellent friction reduction, wear protection and extreme pressure resistance.

Manufactured with approximately 98% molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), this high-purity powder provides outstanding lubrication performance under heavy loads, low-speed operation and extreme temperature conditions.

As a versatile dry film solid lubricant, MOLYKOTE Z Powder can be applied directly to degreased metal surfaces to form a lubricating film. It can also be incorporated into self-lubricating plastics, sintered metal components, metalworking compounds and brake lining materials.

MOLYKOTE Z Powder is an excellent choice for industrial applications where conventional liquid lubricants or grease cannot provide sufficient lubrication performance.

Key Features and Benefits

• High MoS₂ Content: Approximately 98% molybdenum disulfide for reliable solid lubrication.

• Excellent Wear Protection: Helps reduce friction, surface wear and mechanical damage.

• Extreme Pressure Resistance: Provides effective lubrication under heavy loads and high contact pressure.

• High Temperature Performance: Suitable for operating temperatures from -185°C to +400°C under normal atmospheric conditions.

• Vacuum Lubrication: Can withstand temperatures up to 1,100°C in vacuum environments.

• Oxidation Resistance: Maintains reliable lubrication performance in demanding industrial environments.

• Wide Application Range: Suitable for metal-to-metal and selected metal-to-plastic lubrication applications.

Main Applications

1. Dry Film Lubrication

As a reliable dry film solid lubricant, MOLYKOTE Z Powder can be rubbed onto clean, degreased metal surfaces to create a thin lubricating layer. This helps reduce friction and prevent metal-to-metal wear without relying on conventional liquid lubricants.

2. Heavy Load and Low-Speed Applications

This molybdenum disulfide powder is particularly suitable for mechanical components operating under heavy loads and slow movement speeds. It helps prevent friction-related damage during operation and assembly.

3. Industrial Lubricant Additives

MOLYKOTE Z Powder can be used as an extreme pressure lubricant additive in metalworking compounds, self-lubricating plastics, sintered metal components and brake lining materials.

4. High Temperature Applications

As a high temperature solid lubricant, MOLYKOTE Z Powder is suitable for demanding industrial environments involving elevated temperatures, vacuum conditions and heavy mechanical loads.

Typical applications include press-fit assemblies, industrial machinery, sliding metal contacts, bushings and specialized mechanical components.
