Hot dipped chain

Donghua can offer a hot-dipped lubrication service for its in-house built stainless steel attachment chain.

Hot-dipped lubrication is regarded as the best type of chain lubrication available as it allows full penetration of lube into the bearing areas, providing optimum protection for the chain and reducing premature chain wear.

Bob Wellsbury, MD of Donghua, explains: “Good chain lubrication represents 80% of a chain’s wear life. Premature chain wear is mostly attributable to poor lubrication and maintenance. The most effective chain lubricant is generally one that has a high viscosity (thickness), but high viscosity lubricant does not penetrate the bearing areas found in the centre of the chain around the pin and bushing.”
