WS2 – Process SL39

Originally developed for NASA, WS2’s unique, extensively modified lamellar composition of Tungsten Disulfide outperforms other dry-coating lubricants.

Our proprietary process, Process SL39, 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).

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 a 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 coefficient 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 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 flowing resin due to its low coefficient of friction
• Reduction in part weight. The 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 an enhancement of all other lubricants and releasing agents
• A 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 … lens 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 upon corners and edges

• Transfer to finished parts, therefore, does not require secondary cleaning for painting, plating etc.
