Liqui Moly GmbH is a German company specializing in oils, lubricants and additives.

Production at Liqui Moly

[edit] Founding

Liqui Moly GmbH was founded in 1957 in Ulm on the river Danube. The patent for production of Molybdenum disulfide formed the basis for the company. This additive based on liquified molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was the company's first product and gave the company its name.

[edit] Products

The main product is motor oil with MoS2 but there are also other lubricants with MoS2 and the additive MoS2 itself to be added by the end user during oil changes. Molybdenum as the main component of MoS2 is a metallic trace element that enhances the lubrification quality of the oil and offers emergency operating features under harsh conditions. It can be added to motor oils and to non-motor oils including gear oil, transmission oil or differentials oils. There are also lubrication pastes containing molybdenum.
