MO-850

Molybdenum ester amide (sulphur- and phosphorus-free)

Friction reduction with zero sulphur and zero phosphorus. In a low-SAPS or aftertreatment-sensitive formulation, that is the whole argument — you get the fuel-economy credit without spending any of your P or S budget.

Cross-reference

Grades a formulator would benchmark MO-850 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.
