Always dry: maintenance-free stainless steel chains from iwis

iwis is introducing b.dry maintenance-free stainless steel chains. The corrosion-free chains run completely dry, are very wear-resistant and withstand high dynamic loads. They are also maintenance free and do not need any form of lubrication. These characteristics make them suitable for use in aggressive environments, for applications in which water or steam are applied, or where strict cleaning regulations apply, such as the food and pharmaceuticals industries, in cleanrooms and in painting lines.
