About NanoLUB

NanoLub is based on NIS unique patented technology using solid tungsten disulfide (WS) multilayered
nano fullerene-like particles. These unique multi-layer IF-WSnano-spheres are well-known to show
outstanding temperature (-270 C to 450 C), shock (5,076,000 PSI) and pressure (4,263,000
PSI) resistance and renders them to be versatile under extreme operating conditions including high and
ultra-low temperatures, high pressure and high vacuum, high load, high rotating speed, high radiation and
corrosion conditions.

Due to its size (50-200 nm) and morphology of IF-WS nanoparticles, they easily fill the asperities and
irregular surface of the metals providing excellent load bearing and anti-wear properties. Under high
loads (>1 GPa), the layers peels from the spheres forming a thin protective monolayer of WS on the
surface of the metal thereby reducing friction and wear between the metals.

Preparation of tungsten disulfide motor oil and its

tribological characteristics
2.1 Preparation of materials 2.1.1
Ultrafine tungsten disulfide powders Tungsten disulfide doesnt dissolve in water,
oil, alcohol, grease and other organic impregnants, and doesnt dissolve in
ecumenic liquors of acid.
It can be lubricative for a long time below 425 . In vacuum, its disassembly
temperature is 1 150 . Tungsten disulfides intensity of antipressure is 21 MPa.
Tungsten disulfides radio resistance is better than that of graphite and
molybdenum disulfide. It has nicer lubricating capabilities, not only applicable to
the usual lubricative condition, but also to the rigorous work environment, such as
high temperature, high pressure, high vacuum, high load, radioactive and mordant
medium
2.1.3 Function additives
On the basis of the synthetical consideration of dispersing property of tungsten
disulfide in motor oil and the antiwear and antifriction property, oxidative stability,
viscosity versus temperature property of motor oil, the following function additives
were selected: dressing agent, detersive, dispersant, antioxidant and anticorrosion,
antiwear agent and antifriction, oiliness improver, rust inhibitor, pour inhibitor and
kilfoam[1011].

4 Conclusions
1By surface embellishing the ultrafine tungsten disulfide powders, tungsten
disulfide was applied into motor oil, and one kind of oil, the tungsten disulfide motor
oil in which tungsten disulfide powders are suspended steadily was prepared.

2The oil film strength of this kind of motor oil is respectively 1.06 and 1.38 times
of that of shell helix ultra motor oil and great wall motor oil, and its sintering load is
1.75 and 2.33 times of that of them, and when testing under 392 N, 1 450 r/min and
30 min, the friction coefficients of friction pairs lubricated by the tungsten disulfide
motor oil decrease with the increase of time. Meanwhile, the diameter of worn spot
is small, and the surface of worn spot is smooth, without obvious furrows. These
indicate that the tungsten disulfide motor oil has better lubricating properties than
well-known motor oil in our country and overseas
3When taking the tungsten disulfide motor oil as lubricating medium, the surface
of friction pairs can form a mixed protective film, which includes physical adsorbed
film, chemical reactive film and tungsten disulfide depositional film. The mixed
protective film makes the tungsten disulfide motor oil display excellent antiwear,
antifriction and extreme pressure properties, and this kind of motor oil can reduce
the exhaust emission and oil wastage, enhance the fuel economy and improve the
environment, so it is a kind of environmentprotective and energy-saving motor oil.
