Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is an inorganic compound of tungsten and sulfur and is part of the metal dichalcogenides material group. WS2 occurs naturally as tungstenite but can also be created synthetically. WS2 has a layered structure with tungsten atoms appearing in a trigonal prismatic coordination sphere.
WS2 is useful as a dry lubricant similar to MoS2. Tungsten disulfide demonstrates exceptional lubricity and virtually eliminates friction. WS2 can also be added to lubricating greases and oils. It has a high dropping point, high oil film strength, a low friction coefficient, and is effective in temperatures ranging from -270℃ to 1300 ℃, making it ideal for a variety of applications including military and aviation. It’s also suitable for electrical applications such as transistors, sensors, and photocatalytic devices.
Tungsten disulfide from ACS Material is synthesized using our proprietary dry method and is available in a powder or a dispersion and with various particle sizes.
