Moebius 8201 Semi-Liquid Grease 20ml.

This type of Semi-Liquid grease is best used for the lubrication of springs and slow moving parts with large friction areas (barrels etc.) with MOS2, usually applied cold.

The physical properties of Moebius 8201 make it perfectly suited for the lubrication needs of the barrel wall in automatic watches, allowing the mainspring to hold fast until the load bearing threshold of the lubricant is met. Moebius 8201 utilizes the same base as Moebius 8200 mainspring grease, to which a lamella structured material known as molybdenumdisulphide (aka. Moly Disulphide, Moly, or MoS2) has been added. Moly is a peculiar lubricating material in that friction is reduced as load and surface speeds increase. On a molecular level, as the compound is compressed the weaker bonds of the sulphur layers slip against the more strongly bonded molybdenum layers. When power from the automatic winding mechanism becomes too great, friction drops and the spring glides against the barrel wall until the power stored in the mainspring dips below the load bearing threshold of the molybdenumdisulphide. If moly, or a similar lamella structured material like graphite, is not applied to the barrel wall of an automatic watch, the watch in question is highly susceptible the risk of breakage and wear of parts.
