Its simple style, with open barrel building, minimizes pin surface contact with chain gearing face, thus reducing the possibility of seizure because of corrosion and the occurrence of material build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is quite suited, as a result, in steel pintle chain handling materials with a tendency to pack and corrode. Metal Pintle chain is suited a wide variety of agricultural and commercial applications. The chain utilises all temperature treated components with riveted pin style.
