Why It Matters
Forging, fastener and high-temp/high-load operations need dry-film and boundary lubrication where oils burn off or are squeezed out of the contact. Buyers source graphite and MoS2 powders, dispersions and bonded coatings by the drum
Solution Approach
Forging, fastener and high-temp/high-load operations need dry-film and boundary lubrication where oils burn off or are squeezed out of the contact. Buyers source graphite and MoS2 powders, dispersions and bonded coatings by the drum RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Treatment Workflow
1
System Assessment
Characterize operating conditions—fluid composition, temperature, pressure, flow rates—and benchmark current treatment performance.
2
Chemistry Selection
Match base chemicals to your operating envelope. Factor in compatibility with existing programs, regulatory constraints, and downstream impacts.
3
Dosage & Delivery
Determine optimal treat rates through jar testing or field trials. Configure packaging (drums, totes, ISO tanks) to match consumption and storage logistics.
4
Monitoring & Adjustment
Track KPIs—coupon rates, residuals, separator performance, water quality. Adjust chemistry and dosage as conditions change.
Recommended Chemistries (4)
Graphite
CAS 7782-42-5
Lamellar carbon whose weakly bonded basal planes shear easily, giving dry boundary lubrication up to roughly 450C in air
