Kunlun Tiange Lubricants Support Agricultural Modernization

The Third Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee put forward decisions on several major issues concerning the reform and development of rural areas, highlighting the important place of agriculture in China. Improving agricultural production conditions and achieving agricultural modernization is the primary task of building a new socialist countryside, and the fundamental guarantee for safeguarding national food security, raising farmers' incomes and lifting the overall level of agriculture. Achieving agricultural modernization requires taking the road of agricultural mechanization. In this process, Kunlun Lubricants, as a large state-owned lubricant enterprise, actively fulfils its corporate social responsibility and supports agricultural mechanization with high-quality, affordable lubricant products, contributing to the advancement of agricultural modernization.
According to a senior executive of Kunlun Lubricants' marketing department, profits in the lubricant market come mainly from the high-end segment, while the relatively low-end rural market — especially agricultural vehicle applications — offers thin margins that many companies are unwilling to enter. This has led to rampant counterfeits and substandard goods in the rural lubricant market, hampering agricultural production and the implementation of agricultural modernization. As a subsidiary of CNPC, a large state-owned energy enterprise, Kunlun Lubricants actively fulfils its corporate social responsibility and has developed the high-quality, affordable Kunlun Tiange series of lubricant products suited to the rural market.
Kunlun Lubricants has segmented the rural market and developed different products for different needs, forming a Kunlun Tiange series that comprehensively meets rural market demand. In terms of functional categories, Kunlun Tiange covers everything from economy car oil, high-grade agricultural vehicle oil, small and medium-sized marine engine oil, agricultural diesel engine oil and medium-load gear oil to No. 8 hydraulic transmission fluid and anti-wear hydraulic oil. In terms of product grade, Kunlun Tiange includes not only CC and CD diesel engine oils but also SD, SE and SF gasoline engine oils, and even dedicated oil for small Tiange agricultural tractors, with multiple viscosity grades available for each product. This rich line-up fully meets the needs of different tiers of the rural market.
Kunlun Tiange is economical in price yet superior in quality. Bench test and road test data show that Kunlun Tiange products combine the anti-wear properties, resistance to high-temperature thickening and low-temperature sludge dispersancy of gasoline engine oils with the thermal stability, high-temperature detergency and acid neutralization capacity of diesel engine oils. Kunlun Tiange's excellent detergency and dispersancy effectively slow and remove deposits on cylinder walls and pistons and inhibit the formation of high- and low-temperature sludge, while its good oxidation stability effectively suppresses high-temperature thickening and maintains power feel. The series' excellent high-temperature lubricity effectively reduces corrosion and wear between cylinder and piston, cam and tappet, and shaft and bearing bush, extending engine service life. In addition, Kunlun Tiange products offer relatively long oil drain intervals.
To give rural users peace of mind about lubricants, Kunlun has also taken a series of measures to continuously strengthen Tiange's channel construction and improve the rural marketing system, steadily delivering cost-effective products to rural areas. The promotion of Kunlun Tiange in the rural market provides stronger power for agricultural machinery and advances the pace of rural modernization.
