What plastic roller chain can be used at high temperatures?
Plastic Roller Chain makes full use of the plastic materials used in its fabrication, allowing for lower weight, noise and wear, in a wide variety of applications. However, because the temperature of use for plastic roller chain (roller material: polyacetal) is -10~80°C, meaning they cannot be used in applications with pre-heaters or dryers that are over 80°C, customers must use steel or stainless steel for these applications. In January of 2003 though, Tsubaki introduced the Heat-Resistant Plastic Roller Double Pitch Chain with super engineering plastic rollers which provide heat resistance up to 180°C. (Base chain is stainless steel) Furthermore, added to the original characteristics (lower weight, noise and wear); the super engineering plastic rollers also provide chemical and burn resistance, as well as conductivity. As these chains can be used in both wet and dry environments, they are able to fulfill a vital function is a wide variety of equipment: washers, steamers, boilers, dry
