As night falls, the service area along National Highway 312 is filled with large trucks traveling from south to north. Lao Li, a 55 year old truck driver from Zhoukou, Henan, is squatting on his carriage checking the bundling of the tarpaulin. He patted the gray green cloth surface with his hand and said to the reporter, "I have been driving for 20 years and have used dozens of tarpaulins, including the Hubei Golden Dragon. I have been following me for seven years and have never scratched it

Old Li's phrase 'not scratched' is highly praised in the freight industry. For drivers who run the Yungui River route all year round, the mountain road has eighteen bends and the wind and road are dangerous. When ordinary tarpaulins run down, they are either cut by branches or torn apart by the wind to create seams. But the embroidered words on the corners of the golden dragon canopy on Lao Li's car have worn out, but the fabric is still tight without any penetrating damage.

It's like a layer of leather on my car, reliable

Some of the tarpaulins nowadays are very light, but they can't be pulled; some are very thick, but they are so heavy that no one can lift them, "said Lao Li as he skillfully threw the hanging fabric corner onto the roof with one hand, moving in one go. What's good about the Golden Dragon piece of cloth? It's lightweight, I can handle it alone; but even though it's light, it's really sturdy

He recalled an experience a few years ago: encountering a sandstorm in the Gobi Desert, where the strong wind carried stones and smashed the carriage with a loud bang. By the time the sandstorm passed, the tarpaulins of the nearby cars were already riddled with holes, while his golden dragon tarpaulin only had some scratches on the surface, and its protective function was not affected at all. In that environment, if the fabric breaks, the goods will be sold out, and not only will the shipping cost be compensated, but the reputation will also be lost. "Old Li still has lingering fears and has gained a little more trust in this fabric.

The secret to durability: the "ability to withstand" hidden in details

What kind of manufacturing details support the "resistance" that old drivers refer to?

According to technicians from Hubei Jinlong, the tarpaulin has been specially reinforced in areas prone to wear and tear to address the pain points of long-distance freight transportation. The base fabric is made of high-strength polyester yarn, with a tear strength twice that of ordinary tarpaulin; The nano level wear-resistant coating added on the surface has a hardness of 6H and can effectively resist scratches from sand and gravel. What benefits frontline drivers like Lao Li even more is the refined edge reinforcement and hot melt welding process, which eliminates the weak links at the joints and achieves a strength of over 80% of the base material.

In the chat in the service area, familiar drivers kept approaching and pointing to Lao Li's cloth to ask for links. Lao Li always gave a simple smile and said, "There's not much connection, I just recognize the words' Golden Dragon '. This fabric is like our sports car, it looks unremarkable, but no matter what the wind or rain is, it doesn't give up

From the gravel road to the highway, from the young man to the gray haired man, Lao Li's truck changed one after another, but his trust in Hubei Jinlong has settled. In the icy world of steel and rubber, the temperature of this cloth comes from the fact that it has never disappointed those who trust it.
