Corrosion Resistant Chains
Metal chains can deteriorate due to rust or chemical exposure in extreme weather and harsh environments. Corrosion-resistant chains can withstand these conditions while maintaining structural integrity.
Protect your operations with chains designed to thrive in corrosive environments—contact Dixie Industrial today to find the perfect solution for your needs.


Benefits of Corrosion-Resistant Chains
The materials and coatings that make up the chains give them corrosion-resistant properties, which provide the following benefits:
- Extended lifespan in tough applications
- Reduced costs due to infrequent repairs and replacements
- Versatility across many industries and applications
- Enhanced reliability in safety-critical industries
- Compliance with high sanitation standards
Anti-corrosion chains continue to perform effectively long-term, even when subjected to chemicals, salt water, or high humidity.

Materials Used for Corrosion-Resistant Roller Chains
Although there are polymer corrosion-resistant roller chains, most are made of metal. Each material has unique characteristics and will perform well in certain applications:
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is inherently sanitary and rust-resistant and is highly resistant to chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures in industries such as food processing and marine.
- Nickel-Plated: Nickel-plated steel balances corrosion protection with cost-effectiveness, most suitable for mild chemical exposure and moisture found in agriculture and wastewater treatment.
- Zinc-Plated: Zinc-plated steel is suitable for applications in industries like lumber and agriculture that need general corrosion resistance without the need for expensive metals like stainless steel.
Although stainless steel generally has a higher upfront cost, its extended lifespan often contributes to savings over time, making it the better choice for applications that need high corrosion resistance along with high strength or hygienic properties.

Industry Applications That Use Corrosion-Resistant Chains
Any industry application that regularly experiences exposure to harsh conditions can benefit from anti-corrosion roller chains:
- Food Processing: Sanitary conveyor systems, packaging equipment, freezing and cooling equipment
- Wastewater Treatment: Sludge conveyors, clarifiers, pumping stations
- Agriculture: Harvesting equipment, irrigation systems, grain handling equipment
- Lumber: Sawmill operations, outdoor conveying systems, wood drying kilns
- Marine: Anchor handling, fishing equipment, docking systems
We understand that your industry has unique needs, and we’re here to help improve your business and ensure your success.
