Mix NanoSlick Lubricant's Tungsten Disulfide powder with Isopropyl (also know as Industrial) Alcohol to make paste. Apply the paste on part and also on cotton buffing wheel and let it dry. When paste is dry start buffing the part with buffing wheel. Continue buffing/Honing till a silver gray coating is seen.
Is tungsten disulfide toxic?
Hazardous Ingrediants Tungsten Disulfide does not constitute an important health hazard, exposure is related chiefly to the dust arising out of the crushing and milling operations. Chronic inhalation of the dust may cause lung damage in humans.
How is tungsten disulfide made?
Synthesis. Tungsten disulfide WS2 is manufactured using chemical vapour transport (CVT) crystallisation, with crystals having a purity in excess of 99.999%.
Is tungsten disulfide a semiconductor?
2H-WS2 is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of ~1.3 eV. Monolayer 2H-WS2 has a direct band gap. The layers are stacked together via van der Waals interactions and can be exfoliated into thin 2D layers.
Is Tungsten hazardous?
* Tungsten is on the Hazardous Substance List because it is cited by ACGIH and NIOSH. * This chemical is on the Special Health Hazard Substance List because it is FLAMMABLE.
What is tungsten disulfide used for?
They are used as solid lubricants, dry film lubricants and in self-lubricating composite materials. They are especially effective in environments of high pressure, high vacuum and high load. They are also used as semiconductor materials. Also used as the fuel cells of the anode and anode sensors.Jul 8, 2013
How is tungsten disulfide coating applied?
Tungsten Disulfide (also known as WS2) is a low friction dry lubricant coating that is applied utilizing pressurized air that impinges a dry metallic coating without heat, binders, or adhesives. The coating bonds instantly to metal or resin with a thickness of just 0.00002″ (1/2 micron).
How do I use WS2?
Clean and degrease the part. Mix NanoSlick Lubricant's Tungsten Disulfide powder with Isopropyl (also know as Industrial) Alcohol to make paste. Apply the paste on part and also on cotton buffing wheel and let it dry. When paste is dry start buffing the part with buffing wheel.
Is tungsten disulfide magnetic?
Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) and Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) are two of the most popular industrial dry film lubricants. Both are dry lubricants, non magnetic, and are compatible with liquids such as paint, oil, fuel, and solvents.May 8, 2014
