Molybedium disufide

Well I was studying for my Chem final and was going over a problem which says " Molybedium disufide, MoS2 has a structure that allows it to be used as a dry lubricant, much like graphite"
I was wondering if anyone has used this stuff or if anyone could get ahold of some and try it out.
I snort graphite.

[Looking at your sig] Why? So you can snort that, too? :P

If I recall correctly from my reloading info, Moly has a tendancy to attract moisture so it may not be the best idea for lock lubrication.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

SpaceCow,

Molybdenum Disulphide (in powder form) is quite harmful if breathed in, or contacts eyes, etc.

I for one wouldn't want to try squirting it into a lock, instead of using a graphite based lubricant.

Good luck on the Chem final (I remeber those days!)

Cheers,

N.
