Hello Thor-Minator and All Readers,

Thanks for Your Postings T/M.
I have some info on MoS2 which some Readers may find interesting; Quote :- 

Molybdenum Disulfide
 
MoS2 is a mined material found in the thin veins within granite and highly refined in order to achieve a purity suitable for lubricants. Just like graphite has MoS2 a hexagonal crystal structure with the intrinsic property of easy shear. MoS2 lubrication performance often exceeds that of graphite and is effective in vacuum as well whereas graphite does not. The temperature limitation of MoS2 at 400ºC is restricted by oxidation. The particle size and film thickness are important parameters that should be matched to the surface roughness of the substrate. Large particles may result in excessive wear by abrasion caused by impurities in the MoS2, small particles may result in accelerated oxidation./ End Quote

Mos2 is also used to De-Sulfurize Fuels. Sulfur in Fuels when combined with water from condensation etc. can cause a Sluge to form.
T/M., I can see why people from Germany ( and Japan now) are interested in THR .
