MO-280

Molybdenum dithiocarbamate, solid

The highest molybdenum concentration in the range at 27–29 %. Solid, undiluted, and priced per unit of active Mo — the grade to buy if you are formulating your own package and want to control the carrier yourself.

Cross-reference

Grades a formulator would benchmark MO-280 against. Naming them is not a claim of equivalence — it is where to start the comparison.

The chemistry

Molybdenum Friction Modifiers

Friction reduction via in-situ MoS₂ tribofilm

Typical treat rate0.1 – 1.0 %

Organomolybdenum compounds decompose under load to deposit molybdenum disulphide in the contact. The measurable result is a lower boundary friction coefficient and a direct fuel-economy credit — which is why these carry the highest value density of anything in this catalogue and why they matter regardless of powertrain.
