WS2 & Solid Lube
Tungsten Disulfide
BKB® is a tungsten disulfide (WS2) solid lubricant coating. Tungsten disulfide occurs naturally as a rare mineral known as tungstenite, however it is typically synthesized using tungsten and sulfur. Tungsten Disulfide While tungsten disulfide can be used in different fashions,the BKB® coating uses tungsten disulfide material specifically prepared for application as a dry film lubricant.
This unique material preparation ensures optimal performance of the lubricant coating.
BKB® coating is extremely thin, resists high and low temperatures, and functions in vacuum environments.
WS2
Tungsten Disulphide was developed by NASA as a lubricant for the Mariner deep space probes where the high vacuum and temperature render conventional lubricants unsuitable.
Since then it has found uses as a specialised engineering lubricant and in the plastics industry as a permanent (coated on) release agent.
