Univar Solutions Inc. ("Univar Solutions" or "the Company") and Climax Molybdenum Company announced a geo-expansion of the companies' existing partnership for molybdenum products, including Molysulfide® used in greases and coatings applications. Molysulfide® is a lubricant grade molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and is available in three grades: Technical, Technical Fine, and Super Fine. Molybdenum complexes are soluble in petroleum oils and other organic solvents, increase load carrying capacity, and are increasingly used as anti-wear and extreme pressure additives, as well as friction reducing modifiers, in lubricating oils, specialized lubricating greases, and coatings.

The additives form films on metal surfaces to protect against wear after base lubricants are removed by heat, pressure or motion, and are used in applications such as automotive chassis greases and tool joint compounds. Univar Solutions' expansive portfolio contains quality chemistries that are used in the creation of metalworking fluid and coolant products such as base stocks and performance-enhancing additives sourced from the most reputable industry suppliers. No other chemical and ingredients distributor can match breadth and depth of knowledge, premier product portfolio, experience, and reach.

Whether operating on a global or regional level, Univar Solutions can consistently provide suppliers and customers with the latest comprehensive technical, regulatory, market trend, and sourcing support in lubricants and metalworking fluids.
