How many layers can moly plate before it won't plate? Not the thickness, but NUMBER of plates or layers...Anyone Know?
So what's the Thickness of these 39 layers>?quote:

Layers ie number of not thicknessquote:

It's an interesting observation. Lubro Moly claims that their Motor Protect product, which is based on some kind of Molybdenum compound, can provide protection up to 50000 km (30000 miles).quote:

Take the total film thickness and multiply it by the thickness of each molecular layer.
FT x ML/nm = #molecular layers.
HOW or what Does this "thiadiazoles" look like on an UOA's or is it not detected... ie chemical breakdown ?quote:

The organic and synthesized moly dithiocarbamates, MoTDC, forms ONE major layer of the complex compound. There are NO successive "plating" layers as in plating a chrome bumper, etc.

So lets say a layer of say 2 thousandth of an inch is this layer...Then what happens when the moly is removed by force, does the "hole or chunck" just appear to be a hole in the "ground" and when the next moly comes by it just "fills" in the hole?

MoDTC's are "stabilized" with thiadiazoles, an antioxidant and chemical stabilizer, hence, no acidic buildup.
