Its simple design, with open barrel building, minimizes pin surface contact with chain gearing face, thus reducing the likelihood of seizure due to corrosion and the occurrence of material build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is quite suited, for that reason, in handling materials with a tendency to pack and corrode. Steel Pintle chain is appropriate a wide variety of agricultural and commercial applications. The chain utilises all high temperature treated parts with riveted pin style.
