Better Strength, Durability and Functionality: Enhance Performance with Molybdenum
Engineers require stronger, tougher materials with superior properties, more corrosion and wear resistance so they can design and build more efficient equipment that improve our lives.
Molybdenum, a significant element contributing to the strength, durability, and functionality of various materials requiring high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance, helps to meet these demands.

The Solution for Machinery Protection
Chemical molybdenum is used in catalysts, lubricants, pigments, and corrosion inhibitors:
Molysulfide®, when used in lubricants, offers several significant advantages that enhance the performance and longevity of engines and machinery.
Key Features and Benefits of Molybdenum
- Increases stainless steel corrosion resistance
- Enhance the strength of steel and iron
- Improve equipment performance
- Provide toughness to steels used at very low temperatures, (ex: handling liquid gases)
- Enhance wear resistance of steel and iron
The naturally occurring form of molybdenum (MoS2) is an important solid lubricant used primarily for reduction of wear and friction and maintains good lubricating performance in tough conditions. Molybdenum complexes, soluble in petroleum oils and other organic solvents, are finding increased use as antiwear and extreme pressure additives as well as friction modifiers in lubricating oils, greases and coatings.
Key Features and Benefits of Molysulfide®
- Minimize wear and tear by reducing friction between moving parts.
- Protect components from damage caused by metal-to-metal contact.
- Improve thermal stability in high temperatures without breaking down.
- Improve fuel efficiency when friction is reduced, resulting in cost savings.
- Molybdenum can form a strong lubricant film on metal surfaces, maintaining consistent lubrication even under extreme conditions.
