## Summary

Canadian water well equipment manufacturer Wellmaster uses Jet-Lube Moly-Mist™, a molybdenum disulfide dry film lubricant, to protect non-API products against rust and galling. The case highlights its surface coverage, moisture-displacing properties and role in threaded component maintenance.

## Content

Metal components used in water well drilling equipment can be exposed to rust, wear and galling during outdoor storage and threaded assembly. Establishing a suitable protective surface layer after manufacturing is an important part of improving component durability and maintenance efficiency.

According to a Jet-Lube case study, water well equipment manufacturer Wellmaster uses Moly-Mist as an anti-rust and anti-galling treatment for non-API products. Wellmaster reports that treated parts can remain outdoors for months while maintaining effective rust protection. The coating can also cover certain surface contaminants, including mill scale, lacquer, rust, oil and machining coolant, without additional pretreatment. These results reflect Wellmaster’s reported experience; actual performance depends on the substrate, surface condition, application process and storage environment.

Moly-Mist is a dry film lubricant containing molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as its primary solid lubricating component. Its quick-drying carrier bonds MoS₂ to surfaces without requiring heating or baking. Product features include a cone spray pattern, rapid drying, water displacement, friction reduction and resistance to galling. Jet-Lube specifies a service temperature range of -184°C to 399°C. Suitability should be confirmed against current technical documentation and actual operating conditions.

Wellmaster also adopted Moly-Mist as an alternative to zinc phosphate anti-galling treatment on threaded products. The company reports more than six years of use without related complaints or concerns. This case illustrates the potential of dry film lubrication for surface protection and threaded component maintenance in the water well industry, while highlighting the importance of application-specific validation when assessing long-term performance.
