[R-390] Tungsten Disulfide by the ounce......

[Chris Farley via R-390]

The link provided earlier for the $54 1lb bag is for (presumably) the same stuff, they both claim .5 or .6 micron.  If you wanted the nano stuff, you're going to be spending a LOT more than that:

I just went to the link that Phil provided.

Reading the entirety of the specifications, it reveals that their 
particular WS2 is NOT the nano particle in its size.  It is in the 
micrometer range.

They even go so far as to essentially dissuade one from the nano 
particle version.

It would then have a smaller spreading factor.

Although I don't think that besides safety aspects in handling that it 
really makes a difference.
