Still confused about Moly?
Moly Disulfide Powders - CAS #1317-33-5, is a steel-green powder used for gear lubes as an EP additive. Each particle is usually 0.5 um in diameter and these particles are suspended in the carrier fluid. Moly particles coat high pressure surfaces such as gear teeth, and as such, shear and become plastic to prevent surface wear.
MoDTC, is oil soluble moly or Molybdenum DialkylDithiocarbamate, which is made by reacting molybdenum with carbon disulfide acids; MoDTC is very stable against high temp decomposition and resists mechanical pressures or loads. MoDTC is advantageous in motor oils as a Friction Reduction additive.
Another form of soluble moly is Molybdenum
di-2-ethylhexylphosphorodithiolate (MoDPT) with a CAS number of 68958-92-9, but this moly additive is primarily used in hydraulic oils.
