Molybond Range — Quick Reference by Lubricant Type
Molybond is the Australian-made specialist lubricant range built around molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) technology — the additive that lets metal surfaces keep working long after conventional oils and greases have given up. MoS₂ plates onto metal surfaces and provides fall-back lubrication when the oil film fails — critical for heavy-load, shock-load and slow-moving applications. AIMS stocks the workshop-relevant Molybond range.
| Product | Format | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Molybond Anti-Seize | Brush-on paste, aerosol | Threaded assembly — bolts, fasteners, tapered fittings; prevents seizure on disassembly |
| Molybond MoS₂ Grease | Cartridge for grease gun, bulk | Slow-moving high-load bearings, pins, chassis lube points, agricultural plant |
| Molybond Open Gear Lubricant | Spray, brush-on | Open gears, chains under heavy/shock load, exposed slides |
| Molybond Chain Lubricant | Aerosol, brush-on | Roller chain, conveyor chain under load — penetrates between rollers and pins |
| Molybond Assembly Lubricant | Tube, brush-on paste | Engine rebuild, gearbox assembly — initial-start protection before oil pumps up |
| Molybond Dry Film Lubricant | Spray | Where wet lubricant would attract contamination — dusty, dirty environments |
| Molybond Penetrating Oil | Aerosol, trigger spray | Releasing seized fasteners, freeing rusted mechanisms |
Where to use Molybond vs conventional lubricants: choose Molybond when the application has SHOCK LOAD, HIGH PRESSURE, SLOW MOVEMENT, or risk of oil film breakdown. For general lubrication, conventional oils and greases are usually adequate. Companion ranges: lubrication, anti-seize compounds, grease, penetrating oil.
Molybond Specialist Lubricants
Molybond is an Australian-made range of specialist lubricants built around molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) technology — the additive that lets metal surfaces keep working long after conventional oils and greases have given up. AIMS Industrial stocks Molybond for fitters, mechanics, and maintenance crews who need lubricants that handle real-world heat, load, and shock.
What Molybond does well
Molybond products excel in heavy-duty assembly, anti-seize, gear, and chassis applications. The MoS₂ component plates onto metal surfaces, reducing friction at start-up and providing fall-back lubrication if the oil or grease film fails. That makes Molybond a sensible choice for slow-moving, high-load components where conventional lubricants struggle.
Common applications
- Open gears, slides, and chains under heavy load or shock
- Threaded assembly — bolts, fasteners, and tapered fittings (anti-seize)
- Slow-moving bearings and pivot points
- Chassis and undercarriage lubrication on plant and earth-moving equipment

People Also Ask — Molybond Lubricants
Q: What is Molybond and what's their flagship product?
Molybond is an Australian-owned manufacturer of specialty industrial lubricants — molybdenum-disulphide enhanced greases, anti-seize compounds, dry-film lubricants, and high-temperature greases. Made in Sydney with Australian formulations. Their flagship is the Molybond Industrial Grease range — moly-fortified for high-load, shock-load, and slow-speed applications where standard lithium grease fails. Used widely in mining, agricultural, and heavy industrial applications.
Q: When do I use Molybond moly grease?
High-load slow-speed bearings (kingpin bushings, pivot pins, suspension joints): moly-fortified grease forms a sliding film that protects when speed is too low for normal grease films to develop. Shock-load applications (heavy machinery articulating joints, mining truck pivots): moly absorbs impact. CV joints and constant-velocity assemblies: moly is the OEM-spec lubricant. For high-speed ball bearings, moly is NOT preferred — use standard lithium grease.
Q: Molybond anti-seize — when do I use it?
Apply on threaded fasteners that need to come apart later: exhaust manifold studs, spark plug threads (in iron heads only — not aluminium), bolts exposed to galling materials. Apply on tapered fits to prevent seizing. For stainless-on-stainless threads, anti-seize is essential — stainless threads gall easily without it. Don't use on critical torque-controlled bolting unless the torque spec is for lubricated threads. See [Anti-Seize Compound Guide](/blogs/product-guides/anti-seize-compound-guide).
Q: Molybond vs Castrol vs Mobil grease?
Castrol and Mobil are global majors with broad consumer and industrial ranges. Molybond is Australian-specialist focused on industrial high-load and specialty applications. For volume engine oils and standard greases: Castrol/Mobil typically more cost-effective. For specialty moly grease, anti-seize, and Australian-made support: Molybond. For mining maintenance specifically, Molybond's moly-fortified greases are widely specified.
Q: Are Molybond products NLGI-rated?
Yes — Molybond greases carry standard NLGI consistency grades (1, 2, 3) and dropping point/operating temperature ratings on the product data sheet. NLGI 2 is the workshop standard for general grease guns and dispensers. NLGI 1 (softer) for cold-climate or low-temperature applications. NLGI 3 (firmer) for high-temperature or sealed-for-life applications. Match NLGI grade to the application's temperature range and the grease delivery method.
