[QUOTE="VenatusDominus, post: 2554071, member: 117869"] Moly or molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) will not "trap" moisture, but it is hydrophilic (water attracting) and if exposed to moisture, including humidity in the air, will combine with the water (H2O) and form sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which is highly corrosive and dissolves metal. I would strongly recommend removing Molly from any barrel to avoid corrosion. If you want the properties of Molly, I recommend hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) which beats Molly in every beneficial way and is non-corrosive to your barrel. [/QUOTE]
