Description

Tribotecc® BIS 84 Bismuth Sulfide is a powder with a high bismuth content (80 %) and purity (at least 98.5%).

The key benefits of Tribotecc® BIS 84 as an additive are:

  • Low melting point
  • High electrical resistance
  • Low Mohs hardness
  • Forms protective layers of different contact surfaces over a wide temperature and pressure range
  • Excellent tribological characteristics
  • Contains bismuth as a non-toxic substitute instead of toxic heavy metals
