Why is Tungsten Disulfide the Best Choice for Industrial Lubricating Coatings?
The main aspect that sets WS2 apart from other coatings is its coefficient of friction. In dynamic
applications, the coefficient is rated at 0.07, and in static applications, the coefficient can be as low as
0.03. The reason for this is the lubricants overall structure.
The coating consists of a hollow sphere that is layered with hexagonal crystals. These crystal clusters
are formed by networks with S-W-S molecules. The molecule layers are linked to a binding force
called Van de Walls Force, which sets up tungsten disulfides low friction factor. Continue

Also known as WS2, tungsten disulfide is a slick, dry film lubricant coating, and it is known to
provide a low co-efficient of 0.03. It is also chosen for its incomparable properties such as long wear
life, high load rating, low drag, non-sticking, and lubricity. WS2 has the capability to take loads of up
to 300,000 PSI. This is higher than any other lubricant including Molybdenum Disulfide, Teflon, and
Graphite. Continue reading

Molybdenum disulfide is a dry, solid film lubricant. Also known as MoS2, it can be used in
applications where there are extreme changes in temperature, with great weight loads and high
speeds. It has the ability to maintain its basic structure and strength while reducing considerable
friction within the machine. When combined with resins or binders, it has the capability to protect a
component from corrosion. Continue reading
