MC-2000 is a solid lubricant coating. It is a metal-polymeric agent containing molybdenum disulfide, which is recognized to be a good antifrictional additive. The procedure of treatment is identical to that of Molykote, but the agent shall be applied on the piston surface with a brush. To ensure stable coating and accelerate hardening of MC-2000, it will be enough to keep the piston in an ordinary bake oven at the temperature 120 – 150°C for 2 hours. It is possible to omit heating, but then drying will take 24 hours. 
It would be advisable to apply to the piston skirt one to three layers of slippery substances, with some time intervals between each treatment. At the room temperature the agent MC-2000 is drying for 30 min. Molykote coating requires treatment in an oven. Racing drivers and amateurs of going to extremes will need to apply on pistons of their motorcycles several layers of coating.

The appearance and all performance characteristics of both agents are identical. Both are black “as the night”, withstand high temperatures up to 380 – 450°C and retain their properties during the time interval exceeding the time of running-in of the engine. Promises of manufactures are very tempting for customers: applied coatings shall reduce friction in the sleeve assembly (therefore, reduce wear), ensure fault-free piston operation even in the case of overheating or deficit of lubricant and reduce fuel consumption.
