  2. Corrosion Resistant Roller Chain

Nitro™ Corrosive Resistant Roller Chain

Corrosion can have a significant impact on the service life of any roller chain running in a many environments. We stock multiple options for corrosion resistant roller chain that offer different levels of resistance and strength. These chains are made to ANSI / ISO/ BS / DIN standards to make them interchangeable with standard roller chains. Many of the options we offer have good resistance to different acidic's, alkali's and chemicals.

Comparison Of Corrosive Resistance, Temp Ratings & Strength

Type Corrosion Resistance Recommended Temp. Range Strength Material Example Uses
Nickel Plated Fair 14°F Up To 140°F Excellent Carbon Steel Outdoor gate operators
Dacromet Coated Good 14°F Up To 140°F Excellent Carbon Steel Parts wash-downs
Stainless Steel Excellent -40°F Up To 752°F Fair #304 Fertilizer equipment
Plastic W/ Stainless
Plates & Pins
Excellent -40°F Up To 180°F Low Acetal Copolymer & #304 Medical equipment

Stainless Steel Vs Nickel Plated Roller Chain

There are 3 main differences between stainless steel roller chain and nickel plated roller chain. These differences are corrosion resistance, workable temperature ranges and strength. Stainless steel chain offers much higher corrosion resistance workable temperature ranges, but you lose strength due to the #304 material being naturally softer. Nickel plated chain is made carbon steel that offers mild corrosion resistance, lower operating temperature ratings, but much higher strength.

Dacromet Vs Nickel Plated Roller Chain

The dacromet & nickel plated chains are both carbon steel chain that have the same strength ratings. There is only one main difference, which is how well the plating/coating can resist corrosion. The dacromet offers a higher-level of resistance that reaches near the resistance of stainless steel.
