Its simple design, with open barrel construction, minimizes pin surface connection with chain gearing encounter, thus reducing the likelihood of seizure due to corrosion and the occurrence of materials build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is quite suited, for that reason, in handling components with a tendency to pack and steel pintle chain corrode. Metal Pintle chain is suitable a multitude of agricultural and commercial applications. The chain utilises all heat treated elements with riveted pin design.
