Moly greases and moly pastes were among the first products offered by McLube® after our founding in 1954. Our greases and pastes consist of a base compound (NLGI#2 grease or oil) fortified with varying concentrations of Molybdenum Disulfide (Moly) to suit application-specific requirements. The base compound acts as a primary lubricant and corrosion inhibitor while the Moly increases pressure and temperature tolerances by providing secondary lubrication after the base has dissipated or reached its dropping point. McLube® greases and pastes are ideally formulated to prevent wear, galling, and seizure of metal-metal, metal-rubber, and metal-polymer interactions.

Featured Products
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| McLube® MoS2 – 210 High-load Moly Grease | NLGI#2 grease fortified with a high concentration of Molybdenum Disulfide. Ideal for high-friction, high-load applications. Reduces wear and galling. Provides excellent moisture and corrosion protection. NSN: 9150-00-419-0628 |
| McLube® MoS2 – 400 General Purpose Moly Grease | NLGI#2 grease fortified with a low concentration of Molybdenum disulfide. Imparts a low coefficient of friction with excellent moisture and corrosion resistance. A cost-effective option for low to medium-load, fast-moving applications. NSN: 9150-00-100-5460 |
| McLube® MoS2 – 951A High-temp Moly Grease | NLGI#2 grease with a polyalphaolefin base fortified with Molybdenum Disulfide. Ideal for extreme temperature grease applications due to its high dropping point. Reduces wear, galling, and oxidization. Also, exhibits the maximum amount of corrosion protection. Dropping Point: 650°F (343°C) |
| McLube® MoS2 – 1190 Anti-seize Moly Grease | Fortified with a high concentration of Molybdenum Disulfide, this NLGI#2 grease is thickened with a non-soap lithium complex with a polyalphaolefin base. The high concentration of Moly in this product makes it ideal for anti-seize applications where a thicker coating than pastes can provide is desired. Used extensively for aerospace applications. Dropping Point: 531°F (277°C) |
| McLube® MoS2 – 569 Synthetic Anti-seize Moly Paste | A petroleum oil-free paste containing high concentrations of molybdenum disulfide. Furnishes a thin, lubricating coating designed for high-pressure, low-friction anti-seize applications. Will not degrade rubber or plastics seals. Oil Type: Synthetic oil |
| McLube® MoS2 – 793 Extreme Pressure Moly Paste | An anti-seize paste fortified with Molybdenum Disulfide for low-friction applications under extreme pressure. Creates a thin, lubricating film with a low coefficient of friction and excellent corrosion resistance properties. NSN: 9150-00-5317854 |
Details & Benefits
Benefits
Moly Fortification Explained
Molybdenum Disulfide is an ideal lubricant because of its familiar crystalline structure which allows molecules to shear, creating an exceedingly low coefficient of friction between coated surfaces. Fine Moly particles will also work their way into microscopic pores on the substrate for long-lasting lubrication and conditioning of hard-to-reach areas.
The base compounds of our greases and pastes serve as primary lubricants as well as protect the application site from moisture, corrosion, and oxidization. Moly fortification significantly increases the temperature and pressure tolerances of our greases and pastes and also provides secondary lubrication as the base compound begins to dissipate or reaches its dropping point. Secondary lubrication extends the effective lifespan of our moly-fortified lubricants to reduce or eliminate the need for reapplication. Long-lasting lubrication is particularly beneficial in hard-to-reach areas or on parts that will only be coated once before assembly.
Grease vs. Paste
McLube® will recommend one of these products based on the degree of movement and load at the application site. Our Moly greases are ideal lubricants for fast-moving machine parts and dynamic interactions where high-solid pastes can cause jamming. Pastes form a thinner lubricating film than our greases and contain a much higher concentration of solids for anti-seize applications. Our anti-seize Moly pastes are ideal for low-friction (slow-moving) interactions and static parts under extreme load pressures. Common applications for our moly pastes include: screws, threaded connections, nuts, bolts, press fittings, mounts, joints, fasteners, valves, and slow-sliding surfaces as well as any application where a thinner coating is preferred.
