Molybdenum Dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- MoDTC
- Molybdenum Dialkyldithiocarbamate
Molybdenum dithiocarbamate, commonly called MoDTC, is a molybdenum-containing friction modifier for automotive and industrial lubricant formulations. It is selected when the formulator needs a defined balance of friction reduction, antiwear support, sulphur contribution and compatibility with the wider additive package.
The page covers automotive friction-modifier, industrial lubricant and low-phosphorus additive grades. Selection should consider molybdenum content, sulphur and phosphorus balance, carrier oil, viscosity, treat rate, oxidation behaviour and the engine, gear or metalworking test programme.
MoDTC is a formulation additive rather than elemental molybdenum or molybdenum trioxide. Its performance depends on the dithiocarbamate structure, the base oil and the other detergents, dispersants, antioxidants and antiwear components in the finished lubricant.
Send the lubricant type, target friction or wear performance, elemental limits, base oil, estimated quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and quotation-stage additive data are confirmed for the selected molybdenum dithiocarbamate grade.

- Grade
- automotive friction-modifier grade, industrial lubricant grade, low-phosphorus additive grade
- Appearance
- Dark amber to green-brown liquid additive concentrate, grade dependent.

Common questions about molybdenum dithiocarbamate
What is molybdenum dithiocarbamate used for?
MoDTC is used as a friction modifier in engine oils, gear oils, greases, metalworking fluids and other qualified industrial lubricant systems.
Is MoDTC the same as molybdenum trioxide?
No. MoDTC is an organomolybdenum lubricant additive, while molybdenum trioxide is an inorganic oxide used for different applications and should be ordered separately.
Which data is needed to select a MoDTC grade?
Provide the base oil, additive package, target molybdenum, sulphur and phosphorus balance, treat rate, viscosity and the friction or wear test used for qualification.
Can MoDTC be used in automotive lubricants?
Automotive grades may be considered for engine or drivetrain oils when the friction, oxidation, catalyst, seal and deposit requirements of the finished oil have been evaluated.
How should I request a quotation for MoDTC?
State the lubricant application, required additive chemistry, elemental limits, annual or order quantity, packing preference and Malaysian delivery location.
