The most common surface treatments such as zinc, nickel, chrome and brass plating and hot galvanization are both a decorative feature and a mechanical improvement :
• Better stability over time and better corrosion resistance.
• However, it is important to explain that these coatings are not an absolute guarantee of corrosion protection. Only stainless steel can guarantee this.
use
Welded chains, some of our most popular, are primarily used to hang panels and ceiling panels, for door fittings, door chains, pet leashes and nautical use (boat mooring).
Non-welded chains, both practical and decorative, are used to hang lights, frames, and paintings, for clockwork, modeling and leatherwork.
Signposting chains, available in different colours.
quality
he chains available in our range are subject to :
• continuous rigorous testing during manufacture,
• electronic weld tests,
• a test every five links for resistance and surface treatment :
- Hot-galvanized chains: testing according to the standard ISO 1461,
- electrolyte zinc-plated chains: saline fog testing according to the norm UNI/ISO 4520.
safety
The resistances listed in our catalog correspond to the Working Load. They take into account a Safety Coefficient (S.C.) which indicates the distance between the Working Load (W.L.) and the Breaking Point (B.P.)
