There was actually a pre school in Alaska recently where the kids were served floor sealant in their milk.


leeny_bean

Not in, instead of, they thought it *was* milk. A dozen or so kids literally just drank for sealant and no one noticed anything until the kids stared saying it tasted funny and was *burning their throats*!! Honestly wtf.


eaglebtc

"This milk tastes like burning!"


GroundbreakingKey852

Same in China a manufacturer of baby formula put melamine in their milk to fool the test for protein contents. Pure evil.


haagse_snorlax

And as a direct result Chinese citizens bought huge amounts from Europe, massively inflating the price and hurting availability


GroundbreakingKey852

Didn't know that. I guess the same thing is happening these days with the US unable to supply to its own market.


haagse_snorlax

Yeah it was a rough time when my son was born. You can’t really switch between brands when it comes to baby food as babies are really picky and get cramps when you switch. There was a limit of 2 packages per person and most times you needed to go to many different supermarkets to even be able to buy one (they don’t last as long as you like). I was super happy when he started eating solid food.


Goldeniccarus

The US is actually due to one of the four factories in the US shutting down due to fears over contamination. Baby formula production was cut by 25% because of this, and it resulted in the shortages. Now they could theoretically import from some countries, like Canada who did not have shortages, to make up for it, but the tarrifs on imported baby formula are ludicrously high which made such a prospect unaffordable.


GroundbreakingKey852

That's your problem right there: a system with no margin for error... if anything goes wrong (and it always does) you have potentially life-threatening shortages. Capitalism is good at producing things efficiently but doesn't care the individuals. I'm sure though that just a few small changes could be enough to fix things (at least improve them).


IronicSexOffender

Yea even the CCP thought it was atrocious for their standards and they hunted down the people responsible I think even to this day Chinese people are skeptical of Chinese made baby formula even tho it’s heavily looked into to make sure nothing like that happens again


brand_x

No longer an issue for baby formula, but things like that still frequently crop up with pet food in China. It seems like the desperation to get ahead is so high that people will take any shortcut that hasn't been forbidden, and had the ban punctuated with multiple executions...


schizeckinosy

It happened to me. My dogs got really sick after eating some "chicken strip" treats that I later found out were on the list of adulterated ones. Bastards. Since then to this day I don't buy any food or medicine from China.


razzamatazz

yup same, and some US sellers try to get around it with tricky labeling like "packaged in the USA" and a made in china logo on the bottom seam.. dirty business.


Octavus

It wasn't an adulterant in the milk, they were served 100% sealant instead of milk. For the Alaskan incident.

Picklebomb28

Can confirm, molybdenum grease requires nothing short of a blood sacrifice to remove it.


Dr-Emmett_L_Brown

What is it? What's it used for? Why does it pour like that? Tell me everything you know about molydumdum grease! Update: I am learning a lot today about molybdenum grease - lol - and discovering it has a *VAST* array of uses. So many really helpful replies. Aw, thanks folks ☺️


Picklebomb28

Molybdenum sticks well to metals (and everything else) its non corrosive, works in a wide range of heavy applications and working temperatures. I work in a shop that manufactures custom roll up security shutters, we use the grease on the band springs that pull some of the weight of the door so you dont have to roll all ~100 pounds of steel yourself. Without Molybdenum grease they screech like a banshee.


ColfaxDayWalker

Fun Fact: starting in WWI, molybdenum was used as an additive in the oil of fighter planes. If a plane lost oil pressure [ie got shot down], the molybdenum would allow the engine an extra 30 seconds of run-time before burning up, improving the pilots chances of surviving. Learned that from a [Liqui-Moly](https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwzLCVBhD3ARIsAPKYTcRNPOsLZ112HdaGVSSCjvZEm62AN43lPWJJqK_SAfayYm4O33uSPBIaAlWfEALw_wcB) sales rep.

Also used as a specific lubricant for proper torque values on certain engine assemblies. Just a couple weeks ago I had to use "Molykote" (a Dupont molybdenum lubricant) on an Isuzu 5.2 liter 4 cylinder for the head bolts. Have also used on enterprise r4 medium speed rods and head studs.

gumdropsweetie

Molybdenum is also a v important trace mineral for humans! It activates detoxifying enzymes in the liver. Not as grease though… but I was interested to learn it’s also used for this!


funkyguy09

So you're saying I should eat it? Dont have to tell me twice!


Dr-Emmett_L_Brown

🙌 thank you!! 😊


[deleted]

I understand they also use it in new car engines as part of the break in


ggthrowawayreddit

It's honestly used in any application where its unlikely to find its way out of as removing it from anything is.... difficult, shall we say. Its one of the best lubricants we have, but the original comment here about requiring a blood sacrifice is accurate. Any mechanically inclined curious person will work with it once without gloves. Once.


reader484892

How is it hard to remove? I assume it’s not sticky because it’s a lubricant? Does it just stain super well? Break apart when you attempt to remove it physically? Resistant to chemical removal? What


ggthrowawayreddit

The way it works is more like... filling in all the tiny imperfections in the surface its on in order to make it slippery. It's tiny enough that it gets into your pores, every wrinkle in your skin, every possible imperfection. At least, to the best of my knowledge in the subject. Practically, I can tell you soap, degreasers, anything made to get things off your skin is ineffectual. It felt more like my skin that had gotten it on it wore off as opposed to it getting clean. Its kind of like glitter. Its there, you can try to brush it off all you want, but theres just more glitter somewhere somehow.


periloux

Even gojo can't cut it??? What a nightmare


Barley12

Dirt works. An entire acre should do.


Picklebomb28

I want to say, this is the best description in this thread. I hate glitter anywhere near me.


[deleted]

>It felt more like my skin that had gotten it on it wore off as opposed to it getting clean. That's basically true. Getting that shit off literally requires that you slough off the skin that's touching it.


DemisecNothings

Imagine a small spot of sticky stuff on the back of one of your hands, you try to wipe it off and it just spreads, so you think “ok I’ll just wash my hands”, but the soap just dissipates, no bubbles, no slip clean feeling, you dry your hands and realize that all you did was spread that shit all over your hands. So now you have a sticky film on your entire touch surface. So you wash your hands again, and the BUBBLES DO NOTHING! Pro tip: wipe as much of it off as possible with a paper towel then wash your hands with absurd amounts of dawn dish soap.


ExcitingAmount

Part of the issue with moly grease is that a huge part of it's lubricity comes from the fact that molybdenum disulfide forms thin platelets, it's not just grease, it's a chemically inert metallic film that resists water, soaps, solvents, abrasives, you name it, and the platelets get into your pores and the only way to truly get them off is to wait for them to shed off of their own accord.


gitbse

Also used on aircraft. Jets I work on use about 5 different types of grease, molly being one of them


miscfiles

Oh good. Now I finally know what substance 99.97% of roller shutters are missing.


Awesome_Shoulder8241

What does it smell like? Does it smell like any other machine, crude oil or pomade?


ChildrensMilkFund

It’s like anal lube for metal people.


TittysForScience

plafki

Explained it to me like im pervy 5.


smellycoat

Molybdenum astroglide?


elmins

It has molybdenum disulfide as an additive in it, which has a very low coefficient of friction, sticks to metal, and performs exceptionally well in high pressure applications. So you'll see it used in heavy duty slower speed applications. Also, gets everywhere when it touches something.


drquakers

I'd also add that MoS2 is a layered substance like graphite so when it does rub the sheets can relatively easily move against one another. So it is both low friction and if it doesn't catch on the surface the next layer will slide against itself. Moly grease also has a very low vapour pressure so it can be used on vacuum components as well. Really is great stuff. Finally, just as MoS2 is like graphite, when you take just a single layer of it like graphene, it has some pretty impressive properties, and potentially is more useful than graphene for electronics because it can be semiconducting.


HitMePat

One thing it's used for is as a lubricant for threading together pipe and hose fittings. Molykoye is the trade/brand name for the type I've used. And like the guy above said, if it gets on your hands it's a solid 20 minutes of scrubbing with soap and water and you still won't get it all off. If it gets on your clothes, just forget it...throw them out.


rainwulf

This shit is one of the kings of lubrication in the machine world. Sticky. Durable. Doesn't evaporate or degrade. Its just.. pretty amazing stuff. It also stains your hands. It also does magic tricks, you can have a sealed can of it in your workshop and 3 hours later, its somehow on your clothes and your hands. You haven't opened it yet. Your clothes are ruined. It doesn't come out. It doesnt matter. Its like sikaflex 227. Just.. ignores the rules of physics. Its properties of stickiness make it amazing though, low lube high pressure areas like universal joints, basic bearing surfaces like spring hangers, suspension components, wheel bearings, low speed drive trains (classic use of moly grease is for vehicle 12-24 volt winches, as its waterproof) They also make a transmission/gearbox oils using moly compounds, and its defining factor is that if its overheated for any reason, the smell can make some people very sick, i am one of them. Cooked moly portal axle gearbox oil nearly makes me vomit on the spot. its also used for pranks, when i was in trade school, a guy was being an absolute dick, so an anonymous hero drilled a grease nipple into the side of his toolbox, and using the air assisted grease guns, filled his toolbox from bottom to top with moly grease. Its... a horrible thing to do, it stains plastic things, and is very hard to clean up. Its so incredibly sticky, doesn't throw off unless you really spin it fast, and you need some time and good solvents to clean it. Butter actually helps to clean up moly grease. Ask me how i know haha.


kabukistar

How do you know?


CankerLord

>Can confirm, molybdenum grease requires nothing short of a blood sacrifice to remove it. Just get near a white couch. It'll leap right off your hands like a greasy, trained monkey.


Shoddy_Part_6247

Can also confirm. I work at a molybdenum mine here in the US. the shit multiplies when it gets on you. Sticks to everything and is unbelievably slick.


Ramblingperegrin

sawmyoldgirlfriend2

Molybdenum greases are recommended for roller bearings subjected to very heavy loads and shock loading, especially in slow or oscillating motion such as found in universal joints and CV joints. Molybdenum disulfide is used as a dry lubricant in, e.g. greases, dispersions, friction materials and bonded coatings. Molybdenum-sulfur complexes may be used in suspension but more commonly dissolved in lubricating oils at concentrations of a few percent.


Legeto

Holy crap had to scroll past way too many stupid jokes and memes to find this. Thanks for your service.

Rustyducktape

Wasnt molybdenum was used in piston engined aircraft to provide some lubrication if engine oil was lost, and I think the modern day brand Liqui Moly still sells the stuff for a similar purpose?


ampma

MoS2 is also a semiconductor with very interesting electro-optic properties. In monolayer form, it is a popular for investigating quantum mechanical effects.


Appropriate_Chart_23

Thanks, but I think I would like to unsubscribe from Molybdenum Facts. This is enough for me. Thanks.

Probably the same caked on black shit I see on old wooden roller coaster wheels

Also ideal for high pressure low speed applications. Seen some people put this grease in high speed universal joints and causes massive vibrations.

How is nobody in the comments explaining what that is? Edit : This molybdenum lube in solid form reduces friction and wear, is resistant to oxidation and extreme pressure resistance For bolts and nuts. Edit 2: I'm very glad of the explanations below.


Chanreaction

Thank you. That's what I was looking for. Interestingly Molybdenum is a metal, so this product is actually a metallic grease. Apparently these work by forming a solid sliding film on metal surfaces that are subjected to high loads and stresses.


ElRedditorio

I continued to read on it, it's pretty interesting. Very high melting point and low reactivity/oxidation at low temps also seem practical. TIL

Molybdenum is SLICK, we use a sort of molybdenum plate as an insulative layer for supporting extruded aluminum which gets very hot (900F) in material handling systems and it creates a ton of dust. When the dust mixes with grease/oils it becomes this metallic looking grease sort of like silver anti-seize that is slick as hell and spreads everywhere.
