IRIS anti-rust products
Yangzhou Zhonghua South Technology Co Ltd specialises
in the development, production and sale of IRIS grease for
steel wire ropes and anti-rust oil for metal products and
petroleum pipes.
The company is also equipped to undertake trials, the
production of additives, treatment of base oil, preparation
of oil products, storage and inspection.
IRIS grease products are effective in prolonging the usage
of wire rope, with strong adhesion, excellent lubricity,
anti-rust qualities and a high dropping point to suit, for
example, the wide temperature ranges experienced in the
mining industry.
IRIS grease products are designed to be easy to use. After
24 hours solidification a sticky soft lubricating film forms on
the steel wire rope surface.
IRIS diversified products are already in use to protect port
machinery, engineering machinery, elevator equipment,
petroleum machinery and mine steel wire ropes.
