During the 1940's and 50's, a new concept in lubrication was evolving, that of dry, permanent lubrication. The exceptional properties of Molybdenum Disulphide enabled engineers not only to coat the surface of a metal with a durable lubricant, but also to protect the surface from scuffing and wear. The late Baron Rolf Beck was quick to realise the potential of this new substance and also to incorporate a range of products into the Molyslip programme. Hitherto, Molyslip had concentrated chiefly in the marine sector, where its engineers had developed extremely effective bulk storage tank cleaning compounds.

 The new range enabled Baron Beck to move into a sector which he had loved from childhood...motor racing. During the 1960's, the first MoS₂additives were introduced to the market. They quickly proved a valuable supplement to the motor oils available at the time, providing not only better fuel consumption for the average motorist, but also a reassuring safety net in the event of oil loss. His love of travel led the Baron into the establishment of a world-wide network of agents and distributors which cemented the basis for the modern Molyslip international organisation.

 However, the increasing popularity of Molybdenum Disulphide was challenged by the launch of a new concept in automotive and industrial chemicals...that of the anti-seize compound. Metal parts which need to be dismantled at some stage need protection from fusion, and this was now possible with the introduction of Copaslip. It quickly became the generic term for an anti-seize and is used by manufacturers of cars, trucks and all forms of engine from lawn mowers to ships.

 The Baron remained dedicated to his company until his death in 1991, ensuring that the name Molyslip remained at the forefront of lubrication technology.

Molyslip products are available today in over 45 countries throughout the world. In 1993 the Head Office was moved to the rural setting of Middleton Cheney in Oxfordshire although products are now manufactured in several countries.
