Roller chain 12B-1, zinc-aluminium coated – ELITE

The new zinc-aluminium coated chains “ZAP coated chains” have the best corrosion protection of all coated chains. The typical lamellar structure of these coatings provide a so-called “barrier effect” and high cathodic corrosion protection without the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. The coating also has a positive effect on friction in the chain bearing. The new ZAP coating will replace the previous Geomet and Dacromet chains.
