Molybdenum disulfide

== Description ==
A fine black powder that occurs naturally as the mineral molybdenite. Molybdenum disulfide is greasy and is resistant to high temperatures and pressures. Molybdenum disulfide quickly attaches to the surface of metals to form a slick, friction resistant surface. Because of this property, it is used as a powder lubricant for machinery and moving parts, particularly in guns, weapons, and armor. However, it can corrode many metals and is not recommended for long term use.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
molybdic sulfide; molybdenum sulfide; Molysulfide; Dri-Slide; molybdenite; sulfure de molybdène (Fr.); Molybdändisulfid (Deut.); Molybdänsulfid (Deut.); disulfuro de molibdeno (Esp.); sulfureto de molibdénio (Port.)

Momigami

== Description ==
A type of Japanese paper that has a wrinkled appearance. Momigami paper has been strengthened by kneading konnyaku starch into kozo fibers making the paper stiffer and more resistant to water and insects. The hand crumpling also produces a high degree of flexibility. The soft-textured paper is used for fine art, design, crafts, window & store display, photo backdrops, etc.

In Kumamoto region, Japan, the wood bark of this plant was said to be used for dyeing. Use of its flowers or leaves as dyestuff would only generate pale colors; and that of its fruit would not any.

Monkey fur

== Description ==
Most natural monkey fur comes from the colobus, a small thumbless monkey of the family Colobinae native to the coasts of Africa. The black and white colobus, or guereza, has long, silky, black fur. Their pelts have long been used by native populations for decoration. In the early 19th century, monkey fur became popular in Europe and the animals were slaughtered to the point that the species is now endangered. Much of the monkey fur in the 20th century market was artificially made from Chinese human hair.

Montan wax has been used as a substitute for carnauba and beeswax. It is used in shoe and furniture polishes, phonograph records, roofing paints, waterproof coatings, adhesive pastes, paper sizing, candles, carbon papers, and suncrack prevention in rubbers.
