[n. 1. A secret formula, method or device that gives a manufacturer an advantage over competitors]
Tungsten Disulphide was developed by NASA as a lubricant for the Mariner deep space probes where the high vacuum and temperature render conventional lubricants unsuitable. Since then it has found uses as a specialised engineering lubricant and in the plastics industry as a permanent (coated on) release agent. Until now WS2 (WS2) has only been available in the USA and Japan.

Application Areas Include:-
High Vacuum, High Temperature, Clean Room, Aerospace, Nuclear, Cryogenics, Machine Tools, Racing Engines, Cutting Tools, Die Casting, Small ArmsWe are Exporting to Mars! (not our fault!!)
Application Details:-
The low friction coating is factory applied at ambient temperature to form a molecular bond with the substrate material, which can be metal or plastic. Parts need no special engineering as its 0.5 micron thickness is well below normal engineering limits of fit. The material does not bond with itself so cannot be 'built up'. Small holes, slots and fine surface detail can be coated.
Service Levels:-
You need not be waiting for WS2! Our standard service is "Return Next Day" (parts to arrive before 12a.m.). We do offer "Same Day Return" and "While You Wait" for a small additional charge.
We can now process moulds up to 5 tonne and 1200mm x 2000mm.
If your moulds are bigger than this please enquire.
Note:-
WS2 is modified Tungsten Disulphide (Tungsten Disulfide).
Water Proof Grease:-
We have a very interesting waterproof grease that sticks and stays. It was developed in the US by a chemist who had a boat with a Z-drive. It is ideal for boat trailer wheel bearings. It will not wash away! It has been used in combination with WS2 (because WS2's affinity for greases) on the sea water inlet duct bearings on a nuclear power station. It is a multi purpose grease effective in or near hot, cold, salt water or steam with extreme pressure additives - colour green. The grease is packaged in 14oz tubes £20/each + P&P + Vat. THIS GREASE IS NONE TOXIC - IT IS VERY STICKY!
