THEORY OF MOLYSLIP LUBRICATION ::::
In use, Molyslip
products form a lubricating layer of Molybdenum Disulphide
on metal surfaces in the following manner.
The Molybdenum
Disulphide molecules arrange themselves into plates with
a laminar structure in which each molybdenum atom is sandwiched
between two sulphur atoms. The sulphur atoms are attracted
to metal and therefore become plated or bonded on to each
of the adjacent bearing surfaces. In between these two platings
further layers of molecules form. The sulphur-to-metal bonding
is very strong, but the sulphur-to-sulphur bonding between
adjacent molecules is very weak.
Thus, there
are two bearing surfaces, each protectively plated by a
layer of Molybdenum Disulphide molecules with sliding or
lubricating layers of molecules in between. In this way
direct contact of metal-to-metal surfaces is prevented,
friction is considerably reduced, with the consequent elimination
of local heating, wear is inhibited and protection achieved
even under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature.
The molecular
thickness of Molybdenum Disulphide is such that there are
approximately 40,000 lubricating or cleavage planes in an
MoS2 film one thousandth of an inch thick!
The Molybdenum
Disulphide plating is, in effect, a separating layer of
immense strength, greater than the yield stress of most
metals...and in addition it possesses the low coefficient
of friction of ·03 to ·06 which gives more
efficient lubrication combined with this greater protection.

ANTI-SEIZE
COMPOUNDS :
An anti-seize compound
and a lubricant perform entirely different functions although
many anti-seize products have lubricating properties,
especially at higher temperatures. In environmentally
adverse conditions such as high humidity and salinity,
extreme pressure, acidic atmospheres or excessive temperatures,
metals can fuse or weld together. The chief culprit is
corrosion, particularly in marine surroundings. Molyslip
anti-seize products are designed to provide an insulating
layer between metals so that dismantling and routine maintenance
are free from breakage of fused parts. This problem is
especially onerous on threads and shackles. A single application
of Copaslip (often misspelled as copperslip or coppaslip)
or Alumslip will stop metal fusion for many years.
Copaslip®
Copaslip®
(often misspelled as copperslip or coppaslip) - the original
anti-seize compound. It is a very high temperature (up
to 1100°C) anti-seize assembly compound, bentone based
non-melt grease with copper, polybutene, and anti-corrosion
additives.
Molyslip AS40/AS60 Anti-Scuff Paste
Anti-scuff, bedding-in
paste, gelled lubricating oil with a high proportion of
MoS2. AS60 contains 60% of MoS2; AS40 contains 40% of
MoS2 with graphite, rust and corrosion inhibitors.
ADF
Air drying film. Pure
Molybdenum Disulphide in an air drying bonding resinate
for use where oils/greases cannot be used (ie dust contamination).
Ideal for pre-assembly treatment of parts to minimise
dangers of seizure, galling or scuffing. Available in
aerosols or bulk liquid for use in suitable spray-guns.
Alumslip
Alumslip anti-seize
assembly compound is specially formulated to protect against
seizure even under extreme conditions of pressure and
temperature. Also a highly effective thread lubricant
and protective. Designed for same applications as Copaslip®
(often misspelled as copperslip or coppaslip) but where
there is a prejudice against the presence of copper. Temperature
range up to 1100°C.
Nickelslip
Nickleslip is a nickel
based extra high and low temperature anti-seize assembly
compound. Containing pure nickel, aluminium and graphite
in a non-melt base with corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.

when applied results in better lubrication than ordinary
grease. Sufficiently fluid to be sprayed on to the most
inaccessible places but will not flow or drain away like
an oil. Non-fling chain lubricant. Contains rust and corrosion
inhibitors. Available in aerosol or bulk.
MBG : Bentone based (non-melt) molybdenised high-load
grease.
Helps to
ensure freedom from bearing failure in shock and over-load
conditions. MBG allows you to increase lubrication intervals
and to improve safety margins. Ideal for cranes, conveyor
systems, printing presses, water pumps, shackle bolts
and many more.
OGL : Heavy duty bentone based open gear lubricant.

OGL provides a protective coating which will not drip
or drain.
OGS : Wire rope lubricant with efficient penetrating
properties.
The protective coating
will resist direct rainfall and immersion in sea water.
OCL : Oven Chain Lubricant.
A synthetic
product developed for use where cleaning of the chain
is as important as lubrication. A non-carbonising high
temperature gas resistant lubricant, harmless to rubber
seals. Also available in aerosol as SCS.
Moly OCL :
Based on OCL (above)
but with colloidal Molybdenum Disulphide to help inhibit
oxidisation as well as increasing the lubricating value,
