Stainless steel chains are especially suitable for corrosive and hygiene-critical environments.
Stainless steel chains are used in demanding environments because they offer high corrosion resistance, long service life, and reliable load-bearing capacity. They are particularly suitable for applications involving moisture, saltwater, chemicals, or strict hygiene requirements.
Compared to galvanised chains, stainless steel chains offer significantly higher corrosion resistance and are suitable for long-term use in humid, maritime, or hygiene-critical environments. Stainless steel chains also typically require less maintenance and provide a long service life under demanding conditions.
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel chains are characterised by high resistance to moisture, saltwater, and chemical exposure. Materials such as AISI 316L and AISI 318LN Duplex are used to ensure high load capacity and long service life.
