Leaf Chain Manufacturers Introduces The Precautions For Cleaning The Chain

Most chains on the market are made of stainless steel because the raw material of stainless steel is relatively hard. Strong load-bearing capacity, but after long-term use, it will be soiled by sludge, grease, etc., which will affect the use. Next, Leaf Chain  Manufacturers will introduce the precautions for cleaning the chain:

Use some strong acid or spray cleaner when cleaning the chain. These cleaners can remove rust on the chain. In fact, strong alkaline or strong acid cleaners contain many chemical components. It will cause the raw material of the chain to be corroded and eventually cause the chain to rupture.

In addition, it should be noted that the bearing part of the chain will be soiled by a large amount of lubricating oil during use, but organic solvents that remove oil stains and stains cannot be used in the cleaning process, because once used, the hub oil will be washed off, resulting in internal drying. Even if new wheel slip oil is added in the future, it cannot be improved.

So which detergent should be used when cleaning the chain? Usually, choose those neutral detergents. For example, you can mix water with neutral soap. Although the soap has a certain ability to remove grease, the overall effect is not great. After cleaning the chain, check it and wipe it dry in time. If there is more stubborn dirt in the chain, you can use a toothbrush and water to clean it. Generally, after using in a rainy or humid environment, it should be cleaned in time to keep the chain better performance.
