MOLYZOL™ & Molybdenum Additives
Molybdenum disulfide is an inorganic compound with the formula MoS2. Its reactivity is low, rendering it resistant to dilute acids. In terms of its appearance and feel, molybdenum disulfide is similar to graphite and, like graphite, it is widely used as a solid lubricant. It is often incorporated as a component of blends and composites where low friction is sought.
Molybdenum trioxide can be formulated with molybdenum disulphide to create a solid lubricating material consisting essentially of an intimate mixture of about 15 to 50 mole percent molybdenum trioxide to molybdenum disulfide. This material is particularly useful under extreme environmental conditions such as very high temperatures or under vacuum.
MOLYZOL™ Friction Modifiers and Anti-wear products are widely used as lubricant additives in greases and oils, including engine and industrial oils. The specially formulated molybdenum complexes and chemical composition of the MOLYZOL ™ range provide lubricants with excellent antioxidation, anti-wear and friction-reducing properties, even under extreme pressure and high temperatures. The MOLYZOL™ range has both liquid and powder options available.

MOLYZOL™ Corrosion Inhibitor products are widely used as lubricant additives in greases and oils, including engine and industrial oils. The specially formulated compounds and chemical composition of the MOLYZOL™ range provide lubricants with excellent antioxidation and corrosion inhibiting properties, even under extreme pressure and high temperatures. The MOLYZOL™ Corrosion Inhibitor range is available in a ready to mix liquid.

Castor Derivatives
12-Hydroxystearic Acid is a mixed fatty acid obtained by hydrolysis of hydrogenated castor oil. 12-HSA is used in grease manufacturing, plastics lubrication and synthesis of other chemicals. It is a high melting, brittle, waxy solid at ambient temperatures.
HCO or castor wax is solid at room temperature and has the function of a surfactant, emulsifier in greases and is also used in a variety of other applications including personal care and industrial. Bisley offers food grade HCO.
Sebacic acid is an excellent complexing agent for the preparation of lithium complex grease in synthetic hydrocarbon and polyol ester base fluid.
Stearic Acid & Stearates
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed is composed of primarily stearic acid, a saturated long chain fatty acid derived from vegetable oils. Its surfactant properties lead to its widespread use in a variety of industries. Upon request Bisley can supply stearic acid with customized specifications depending on your needs.
Aluminium stearate is an aluminum salt of distilled hydrogenated fatty acids, used as lubricants in metal processing. A combination of gelling strength coupled with high alumina content and fine particle sizing results in better dispersion in many mediums.
Calcium stearate is one of the most commonly used lubricants due to its excellent dispersion properties and highly controlled particle size. Calcium stearate is available as a powder or as a 50% dispersion.

Xeolith® Lithium Stearate is classified as a lithium soap and is available as a soft white solid, often used as the main component of lithium grease.
Graphite and Carbon Black
Carbon Black is used as a thickener in open gear lubricating grease. The resultant grease has increased, heat, moisture and oxidation resistance.
Gums
Xanthan Gum is a thickening agent with shear thinning properties.
Welan Gum is a thermally resistant biopolymer, used for viscosity and suspension control.
Guar gum is produced from the extraction of from guar beans. Guar gum acts as a thickener and emulsifier in lubricants.

Surfactants
Cocamide DEA is made from the reaction of coconut oil and Diethanolamine. Cocamide DEA has the function of a torque reducer, corrosion inhibitor and a lubricant.
TIPA is used as a surfactant and an emulsifier in grease production. Available as an 85% solution.
Overbased Calcium Sulfonate is a highly alkaline liquid, typically used as a thickener, emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in lubricants. It is compatible with most mineral base oils, white oils, and synthetic base stocks. It is used in the manufacture of Calcium Sulfonate greases and engine oils. Bisley supplies both TBN 300 (OB) and TBN 400 (HOB) Calcium Sulfonate with varying flashpoints and specifications depending on your requirements.
