Effect of Sunlight
Sunlight causes the material to “Chalk” slightly. This is reduced in the black versions.
Acetal has a good resistance to organic solvents and most petroleum based hydrocarbons.
It is resistant to acids and alkalis within the range pH 4-9 but has limited resistance outside those limits.
The chain is suitable for running on sprockets of standard BS form but chain life will be reduced when running on small sprockets due to the increased angle each chain link is required to turn through.
Chemical Resistance
Acetal is considered safe for use in contact with foodstuffs.
