In a recent lawsuit filed against 3M over PFAS contamination in Minnesota, the state’s attorney general released a large amount of documents that show 3M knew about the harms of PFAS since at least 2000. Despite this knowledge, the company kept these studies and other information from the EPA, and it continues to allow PFAS to pollute groundwater and drinking water across the country.
Molybdenum disulphide grease, also known as moly grease, is a type of solid lubricant with high oxidation stability and very low friction properties. It is used in industrial applications, especially as an anti-wear lubricant.
The addition of molybdenum disulphide to a lithium complex grease improves its lubricating capacity, thickness, resistance to lose and sealing/protection. This additive also reduces wear, oxidation and friction in metal-to-metal contact under extreme pressure or high heat.
SealXpert Hi-Temp Moly Grease (MoS2) based on mineral oils, lithium soap thickener and molybdenum disulphide is suited for high temperatures required at ironworks and cement plants. It is used for sliding, rotating and threaded parts in steel mills, rotary nozzles and bearings in ladle hangers and furnace dampers. It is recommended for transfer surfaces of tire liners and support rollers in rotary kilns at cement plants.
Graco does not make any recommendations for greases that fleets should use on their vehicles, but Graco Commercial Vehicles Applications Engineer Paul Cigala said that some technicians may want to consider using a moly grease when re-greasing a U-joint or automatic slack adjuster because of its strong anti-wear characteristics. However, he cautioned that some greases containing Moly can be soft when mixed with other thickeners.
Ultimately, molybdenum disulphide is not the grease of choice for heavy-duty trucks. Rather, the most suitable grease for heavy-duty trucks is one that meets the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer and the customer.

The polymer called PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) has properties that allow it to perform in a wide range of applications. It is a common material used in non-stick cookware, plumbing tape, and coatings for machines.
This chemical substance is known for its durability, insulating properties, and resistance to corrosion. Liquid Teflon is easy to use and offers many advantages.
It is non-toxic and has a high resistance to heat. Using it as a sealant is safe and can be applied to many different surfaces in your home. PTFE is also an excellent lubricant.
PTFE has a low coefficient of friction. This is because the atoms of the fluorine are located at the end of the carbon chain, preventing it from contacting the other chains.
This chemical is used as a coating for machine parts, such as gears, bearings, and screw heads. Because of its flexibility and slickness, it is also a popular choice for a non-stick surface.
Due to its high melting point and excellent corrosion resistance, Teflon is an extremely versatile material. It has several applications, including medical and laboratory equipment. Aside from its use as a coating, it can be found in car and truck parts, gaskets, and insulators.
PFOA, a chemical used in the manufacturing of Teflon, is suspected to cause cancer and kidney disease. The Environmental Protection Agency has agreed to phase out PFOA in the emissions from Teflon products by 2015. However, this has not happened yet.
Teflon is a plastic with an extremely low coefficient of friction. It is also resistant to high temperatures and chemicals, making it a versatile material for a variety of applications. It is a chemical compound called polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE, which is composed of ethylene, which is a polymer in which all hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine. PTFE is used in many industrial applications, including food preparation equipment. In addition, it is a good insulation material for electrical installations and has high resistance to heat.
Nevertheless, Teflon has a very short life cycle and must be disposed of after use. When it is heated up to 350 degrees, it starts to decompose and releases harmful substances. However, these concentrations are so small that they pose no threat to health. This is because the PTFE is so inert that it cannot be absorbed into the body, even if you use it with your food.
Molybdenum disulfide, also known as mos2 or moly powder, is one of the most widely used solid dry lubricants in industry today. It is often added to oils and greases as an extreme pressure additive to improve their tribological properties, or it can be used by itself as a dry lubricant for high-temperature applications.
MoS2 has a lamellar structure (it is made up of individual atomically thin planes that can slide easily against each other). Like graphite, it is a dry lubricant and does not rely on adsorbed water or vapors for its lubricative properties, although in some cases it has been shown that it does deteriorate under humid conditions.
Unlike graphite, MoS2 is relatively resistant to oxidation and this makes it a natural choice as a solid lubricant for applications in vacuum and in a wide range of temperatures. However, it has been found that the tribological performance of MoS2 can be dramatically degraded under humid conditions, and in such conditions the presence of oxygen leads to a rapid oxidation of the coating [61].
To reduce the effect of humidity on MoS2 coatings, adaptive coatings have been developed that bind carbon nanotubes to the surface of the MoS2 film in a way that increases its mechanical strength and improves its tribological properties. The use of a closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating process (CFUBMSIP) has been shown to be effective at developing such adaptive coatings. These coatings are now able to operate effectively in a wide range of humid environments and have been successfully used in vacuum and at high temperatures.
Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is a two-dimensional material that contains hexagonal crystal clusters. It is a solid lubricant powder, and is non-toxic and non-corrosive. As a dry lubricant, it can be applied to any surface, including plastics.
WS2 has excellent lubrication characteristics and is used as a solid lubricant for bearings and gears. In addition, tungsten disulfide also helps with reducing galling on bearings. WS2 has good anti-wear properties, and its low dynamic coefficient of friction can be used as an additive to lubricating grease.
WS2 is also used as a coating for metal components. Its high temperature resistance is great, ranging from -188°C to 2400°F. Moreover, it is very stable at high temperatures. This makes it an ideal lubricant for high-temperature applications. The material is also approved for food processing.
WS2 has also been used for aerospace missions. NASA engineers developed this material to help mechanical components run smoothly in space flights. Because of the extreme temperatures, lubrication would be challenging. But thanks to its high chemical stability, tungsten disulfide is the ideal dry lubricant for space missions.
Tungsten disulfide can be used in conjunction with other dry lubricants, such as silicone, petrochemical, and hydraulic fluids. Besides, it is very effective in reducing galling on bearings and improving performance of conventional lubricants.
WS2 can be used in many applications, including aircraft components, medical devices, and industrial components. Moreover, the dry lubricant can improve efficiency in fabrication. WS2 also helps to hold lubricants in place.
Laser cutting is an efficient and accurate method for producing holes in various materials. The technique works by directing a high power laser beam at the object. A small part of the beam strikes the substrate, cutting through the material.
This technique is used to cut through sheet material and to cut openings in various materials. It can be applied to virtually any hole size. Unlike other techniques, it requires little tooling and allows for highly complex cuts.
It can be used to create prototype circuits or to fine-tune performance. In addition, the technique is faster than conventional tooling and requires a relatively low amount of power. With its versatility and accuracy, laser cutting can help to reduce production costs.
For many applications, PTFE (also known as Teflon) is a suitable material for laser cutting. However, it should be noted that the material can produce harmful fumes.
PTFE has several uses, including as an anti-coating and gasket material for kitchenware. It also has excellent insulating properties. When heated, it can emit COF2, which can be absorbed through skin or lungs. PTFE has also been linked to a number of adverse health effects.
If you plan to use a laser to cut PTFE, you should be aware of the potential health risks. You must perform your own risk assessment of the material and ensure that adequate ventilation and fume extraction are in place.
Another good alternative to PTFE is Polyethylene Foam. This material cuts cleanly and produces little smoke.
