WS2 Dry Film Lubricant

Originally developed for NASA, WS2's unique, extensively modified lamellar composition of Tungsten Disulfide outperforms other dry coating lubricants. Our proprietary process, Process SL-39, impinges a dry metallic coating without heat, binders or adhesives. The lubricant coating bonds instantly to any metal or resin substrate with a thickness of 0.5 microns (20 millionths).

WS2 Dry Fim Lubricant Benefits & Capabilities
  • Solves problems such as: friction, excessive wear, seizing, galling and fretting.
  • Overcomes or reduces mechanical lubrication problems, improving performance and extending service life.
  • Eliminates and reduces costly maintenance problems that cause breakdowns and expensive downtime by stopping galling, fretting and friction caused by dissimilar metals and their different hardness factors.
  • Maintains the dimensional integrity of the substrate to within 0.5 microns with no build-up.
  • Withstands loads to 100,000 psi (or load capacity equal to substrate) and operates in the temperature range of -460°F to 1200°F (-273°C to 650°C).
  • Offers 100% lubricity throughout its texture.
  • Is inert, inorganic, non-toxic, non-distortive, non-corrosive and resistant to most fuels and solvents. It is compatible with and enhances the performance of all oils and greases.
  • Resists carbon buildup due to its extremely low co-efficient of friction, less than half that of Graphite, Moly (MoS2) and Teflon.
  • Molecularly bonds to all materials and platings and can only be eliminated by removing the bonded substrate.
WS2 Dry Fim Lubricant WS2 Provides
  • Vacuum Compatible Lubrication
  • Maintenance of the dimensional integrity of the substrate to within 0.5 microns (20 millionths) with no build up
  • Enhancement of the flow resin due to its low coefficient of friction
  • Reduction in part weight. Part is not packed as tight
  • Release of parts quicker
  • Reduction of pressure and mold wear
  • Lower operation temperatures
  • The capability to produce more parts per hour
  • Reduction of rejects
  • An inert, inorganic, non-toxic, non-distortive, non-corrosive lubrication that is resistant to most fuel solvents
  • Compatibility with and enhancement of all other lubricants and releasing agents
  • Slight delay of corrosion
  • Bonding to all metal or plastic materials and platings and cannot be removed without eliminating the bonded substrate
  • Elimination of material transfer to finished agents
  • Application to No. 1 diamond mirror finish ... lense quality
  • 100% lubricity throughout the entire mold
  • Application into slots or holes as small as .060 inch
  • Application to the entire mold surface or only specified inserts, cavities and core pins
WS2 Does Not
  • Require heat curing
  • Build up on corners and edges
  • Transfer to finished parts, therefore does not require secondary cleaning for painting, plating etc.
