Industry Focus: Kunlun Tianrun Upgrade Launched — A Lubricant Quality Revolution Quietly Begins

In 2017 the 19th National Congress opened a “new era,” and China’s lubricant industry also entered a year of deepened transformation and upgrading; with the acceleration of consumption upgrading, consumers placed higher demands on lubricant quality. At this awkward moment when consumption and demand come into conflict, Kunlun Lubricant, as a representative of national lubricant brands, greeted the full upgrade of the Kunlun Tianrun product line with innovation and persistence, once again leading a brand-new transformation of China’s lubricant industry.
Unafraid of challenges: a pillar of strength in the lubricant industry
On the increasingly competitive arena of lubricant brands, foreign lubricant brands sweep China like a flood, and national brands face a dual challenge from international and domestic markets. But given the characteristics of the lubricant industry — highly specialized, strongly functional and technology-intensive — market competition ultimately comes down to a contest of scientific and technological strength and service.
From the day it was born, Kunlun Lubricant has borne the historical mission of lubricating China’s military, national defense, steel, nuclear power, automobiles and other fields vital to the national economy and people’s livelihood; in recent years it has played an important role in key projects — its high-speed rail gear oil replaced Japanese products, filling a domestic gap, and was successfully applied in “Fuxing” EMU trains; its 120,000-kilometer long-life heavy-duty diesel engine oil went on the market across the board; its oil specially for industrial robots reaches international advanced levels; and its transformer oil became the only designated oil for the world’s first ±1100 kV transmission project… Kunlun Lubricant can always be seen in every high-end, cutting-edge field of Created in China.
Behind all these achievements are strong R&D strength and a first-class R&D team. The Kunlun Lubricant Lanzhou R&D Center is the domestic oil evaluation base with the most complete methods for evaluating lubricating greases, oils and fluids, with 105 sets of analytical and testing instruments and 37 sets of engine bench evaluation equipment, and total assets of more than 100 million yuan. At the same time, Kunlun Lubricant has a strong talent team in lubricants, greases, fluids and related fields; the corresponding teams’ developed gear oil technology, internal combustion engine oil technology, and transformer oil and refrigeration oil technology respectively won the National Technological Invention Award Second Prize, and the National Science and Technology Progress Award Second Prize and First Prize. It has an enterprise postdoctoral workstation and holds the qualification of “Industrial Product Quality Control and Technical Evaluation Laboratory” for lubricants granted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Its R&D in hot and emerging fields — high-speed rail gear greases and oils, wind power greases and oils, robot greases and oils, long-life engine and driveline oils, long-life truck hub grease, fully synthetic refrigeration oil series products and transformer oil without corrosion inhibitor — has reached world advanced levels, and corresponding products have been launched.
In the passenger car field, the Kunlun Tianrun series products are even further ahead in the industry; their advantages of lasting wear resistance, high oxidation resistance and energy saving and environmental protection have won certification from many high-performance and mainstream automaker brands such as Porsche, Renault, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, and are deeply loved by consumers.
A brand-new upgrade ignites the quality revolution
In March 2018, the “Kunlun Tianrun” product line was fully upgraded, once again declaring a new height for a national lubricant brand through technology and quality. Themed “Quality at a New Height,” this Tianrun product upgrade launch led in launching products meeting Europe’s latest energy-saving and environmental ACEA C5 specification requirements and products meeting the performance requirements of the API SN PLUS technical standard about to be issued, achieving industry leadership; it focused on the low-speed pre-ignition phenomenon of turbocharged gasoline direct injection engines (TGDI), reducing engine problems caused by the gradual spread of TGDI technology, achieving technological leadership; and it completed the product line and upgraded the quality of the whole line without raising prices, achieving leadership in care.
Today the battle of the “quality revolution” is in full swing; this is not only a new home ground for the brand ignition, quality offensive and market leadership of “Kunlun Tianrun,” but also a strategic ignition for the entire Chinese lubricant industry standing at a new turning point in the new era of consumption upgrading.
As a high-end lubricant brand, “Kunlun Lubricant” has, over its sixty or seventy years in the Chinese market, continuously upgraded product quality and service standards, consistently providing Chinese users with the best lubrication solutions. Because we are more focused, we have created an industry legend; because we have quality, we have created a classic product. We look forward to “Kunlun Tianrun” leading the new battle of the “quality revolution,” using the three sharp weapons of “quality, service and innovation” to win in the new blue ocean of lubricants and create a quality model exclusive to Kunlun Lubricant’s development.
