Overview of Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum Disulfide is a widely used inorganic compound known for its excellent lubricating, thermal, and mechanical properties. Chemically, the molybdenum disulfide formula is MoS₂, composed of one molybdenum atom bonded to two sulphur atoms. It is one of the most important solid lubricants used in heavy industrial and mechanical applications.

From a structural perspective, the molybdenum disulfide structure is layered, with molybdenum atoms sandwiched between layers of sulfur atoms. These layers can easily slide over one another, giving MoS₂ its outstanding lubricating performance, especially under high pressure and extreme temperatures. Molybdenum Disulfide typically appears as a dark grey to black fine powder. The molybdenum disulfide melting point is approximately 1185 °C (in inert atmosphere), making it suitable for high-temperature industrial environments.

Due to its stability, low friction coefficient, and resistance to wear, molybdenum disulfide uses are primarily industrial. ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Molybdenum Disulfide with controlled particle size, consistent quality, and reliable performance.
