Moly Grease
Moly grease is formulated with molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), a solid lubricant that provides additional protection under extreme pressure and boundary lubrication conditions. It is widely used in mining, construction and heavy industrial applications where components are exposed to shock loading and metal-to-metal contact. Unlike standard greases, moly grease forms a protective film on surfaces, helping to reduce wear where lubrication films may break down under load.
Typical Moly Grease Applications
Mining Equipment
Pins and bushings on mining machinery subject to high loads and shock loading in open pit and underground operations.
Excavators & Loaders
Articulation points, boom pins and bucket pins on excavators, loaders and heavy-duty construction machinery where metal-to-metal contact occurs under extreme pressure.
Fifth Wheels & Chassis
Fifth wheel assemblies and heavily loaded chassis components on commercial transport fleets where sliding contact and high clamping loads demand solid lubricant protection.
Heavy Industrial Equipment
Slow-moving, high-load components and sliding surfaces in industrial equipment where conventional lubrication films may break down under sustained extreme pressure conditions.
Understanding Moly Grease
What MoS₂ Does
Molybdenum disulfide forms a solid lubricating film that reduces friction and protects surfaces when conventional oil-based lubrication films break down under extreme pressure or shock loading.
When to Specify Moly Grease
Moly grease is used where conventional greases are insufficient to protect against extreme pressure and shock loading — particularly on slow-moving, heavily loaded components such as pins, bushings and sliding plates.
Moly Grease vs Standard EP Grease
Standard EP greases rely on chemical additives to protect under load. Moly grease adds MoS₂ as a physical barrier, providing additional protection during boundary lubrication conditions where EP additives alone may be marginal.
Moly Grease in Bearings
Moly grease can be used in certain bearing applications but is generally more suitable for slow-moving, high-load components rather than high-speed rolling element bearings where MoS₂ may cause abrasion.
