Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) powder has emerged as a critical dry lubricant and additive in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications due to its exceptional low-friction and high-temperature stability properties. Global production of MoS₂ powder is concentrated in China, the U.S., and Russia, with production methods including chemical synthesis, exfoliation, and mechanical milling to achieve fine powder suitable for lubrication and composite applications.
