When selecting an appropriate chain for your application, please consult the guide below to ensure that your chain is sufficiently resistant to the corrosion induced by substances with which it will be in contact. The results in this guide were observed during tests in an environment of 20°C. As actual substance reactivity is subject to a wide variety of factors (i.e., ambient temperature, exposure time, etc.) this guide is offered not as a guarantee, but as an aid in selecting the most suitable chain for your operating conditions.
