Its simple design, with open barrel construction, minimizes pin surface contact with chain gearing face, thus reducing the possibility of seizure because of 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 
corrode. Steel Pintle chain is suitable a wide variety of agricultural and industrial applications. The chain utilises all warmth treated elements with riveted pin design.
