Between 1962 and late 1973, 10 robotic explorers named Mariner were built by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to investigate Earth’s closest neighbors: Venus, Mars and Mercury. Besides revealing much about the planets, the Mariners proved that interplanetary flight and scientific exploration was possible using small, low-cost spacecraft that could be designed in a short amount of time and stay on the job severalyears. During the later missions some of that durability was due to a new lubricant called tungsten disulfide, developed for NASA by Stanford University. Following this debut, tungsten disulfide (WS2) found its way into industrial applications, primarily in aerospace and defense applications.
In contact situations such as cutting tools, tungsten disulfide practically eliminates galling while improving chip evacuation and lubrication. This results in a much longer life for cutting tools, reduced lubricant temperatures, more efficient mold release, and improved service life for all treated parts.
But that’s the obvious part. In racing, any legal and safe method that gives a split-second lead over the other drivers is highly desired. Top IRL, CART, NASCAR and NHRA teams have embraced tungsten disulfide for its friction-fighting characteristics in engines and drivetrains. Race teams have reported a 30% longer life in coated parts; gears and shafts that once made it 700 miles are good to 2,000. Not only will the compound not damage the substrate (it is noncorrosive and no heat is required for curing), but tungsten disulfide is inert, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly. The coating takes on the characteristics of the base material. It won’t chip, flake or peel — important to anyone who designs and builds precision components. US Army Airforce is considering using WS2 to extend gearbox life in the event of small arms damage to helicopter lubrication systems.
.... and now it has entered the sportfishing industry with a storm!

Tungsten disulfide adheres to a substrate surface through a molecular/mechanical interlock and takes on the characteristic of the substrate regardless of whether the substrate is ferrous, non-ferrous, a composite, carbide or plastic. When applied to a substrate material, tungsten disulfide also forms a very thin layer due to the fact that it does not bond to itself. As a result, the dimensions and tolerances of treated parts are not compromised or appreciably affected when a substrate is treated with tungsten disulfide.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) is one of the most lubricous materials known to science. With Coefficient of Friction at 0.03, it offers excellent dry lubricity unmatched to any other substance. It can also be used in high temperature and high pressure applications. It offers temperature resistance from
-450 oF (-270oC) to 1200oF (650oC) in normal atmosphere and from -305oF (-188oC) to 2400oF
(1316oC) in Vacuum. Load bearing property of coated film is extremely high at 300,000 psi.
Since the powder offers one of the lowest Coefficient of Friction (Dynamic @ 0.03 & Static @ 0.07), the applications are unlimited and could be tried with every conceivable idea.
WS2 powder can be added to Oil/Lubricant/Liquid/Water/Plastic etc. to increase lubricity of mixture. WS2 can also be coated on a substrate by Spraying/Buffing/Tumbling.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) is dry/solid lubricant powder and is one of the most lubricious substance in world. WS2 offers excellant dry lubricity (COF: 0.03) unmatched to any other substance, including Graphite or Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2).
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) can also be used in high temperature and high pressure applications. It offers temperature resistance from -450 deg F (-270º C) to 1200 deg F (650º C) in normal atmosphere and from -305 deg F (-188º C) to 2400º F (1316º C) in Vacuum. Load bearing ability of coated film is extremely high at 300,000 psi.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) can also be used instaed of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). See comparison of WS2 / MoS2

When material is made into nanoparticles, its reactivity increases. Smaller the particle size, higher the surface area. Nanoparticles have a very high surface area to volume ratio, due to this a higher percentage of atoms (in nanoparticles) can interact with other matter. Therefore Surface Area (measured in Square meters per gram) is most important unit of measure for a nano lubricant. Higher the surface area, higher the lubricity.
Comparison between Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) & Tungsten Disulfide (WS2)
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) is one of the most lubricous materials known to science. With Coefficient of Friction at 0.03, it offers excellent dry lubricity unmatched to any other substance. It can also be used in high temperature and high pressure applications. It offers temperature resistance from -450o F (-270o C) to 1200o F (650o C) in normal atmosphere and from -305o F (-188o C) to 2400o F (1316o C) in Vacuum. Load bearing property of coated film is extremely high at 300,000 psi.
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) can be used instead of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) and Graphite in almost all applications, and even more. Molybdenum and Tungsten are from same chemical family. Tungsten is heavier and more stable. Molybdenum Disulfide (Also known as Moly Disulfide) till now has been extremely popular due to cheaper price, easier availability and strong and innovative marketing. Tungsten Disulfide is not new chemical and has been around as long as Moly, and is used extensively by NASA, military, aerospace and automotive industry.
Till few years ago, price was Tungsten Disulfide was almost 10 times that of Molybdenum Disulfide. But since then price of Molybdenum Disulfide has doubled every six months. Now the prices of both chemicals are within comparable range. Now, it makes more economic sense to use superior dry lubricant (Tungsten Disulfide) and improve the quality and competitiveness of final product.
Tungsten Disulfide offers excellent lubrication under extreme conditions of Load, Vacuum and Temperature. The properties below show that Tungsten Disulfide offers excellent thermal stability and oxidation resistance at higher temperatures. WS2 has thermal stability advantage of 93oC (200oF) over MoS2. Coefficient of Friction of WS2 actually reduces at higher loads.
