Tungsten disulphide or WS2 as it is called; is a synthetic powder that is often converted into and used as a lubricant. Various elements present in the powder such as hexagonal crystal clusters and lamellar lattice structure create a certain amount of friction. This makes tungsten disulphide a very lubricious material, and thus a perfect solution when it comes to applying protective coatings on various products.
