For a long time, the research, production and testing of snow wax have been concentrated in northern Europe, North America and other strong ice and snow sports countries, and there is almost a blank in this field in China
.

Lanzhou Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which has made great achievements in the field of lubricating materials, has taken this task

The joint research team includes not only a national key laboratory in the field of tribology, but also the only domestic product quality supervision and inspection center for lubricating materials
.

They are not unfamiliar with the basic composition of snow wax, but the difficulty of the project is that the components of snow wax used in different snow projects are different, and the selection of basic wax and the deployment of lubricant additives are also different

With samples, testing becomes a problem again

.
The effective usable area of ​​the domestic snow wax car is about 92.
5 square meters after the vehicle body is fully unfolded.
There are 6 snow waxing tables with ventilation devices inside.
The tractor of the snow wax car adopts a hydrogen fuel cell power system.
A photovoltaic power generation system is installed on the top to meet the daily lighting and small household appliances in the car, achieving zero emission, green and pollution-free
.

　　The use of domestic snow wax vehicles provides a basic guarantee for the Chinese Winter Olympic athletes to achieve great results
