Its simple design, with open barrel structure, minimizes pin surface contact with chain gearing encounter, thus reducing the probability of seizure because of corrosion and the occurrence of materials build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is very suited, therefore, in handling materials with a 
inclination to pack and corrode. Steel Pintle chain is suited a wide variety of agricultural and commercial applications. The chain utilises all temperature treated parts with riveted pin design.
