#40 Corrosion-Resistant Roller Chain - 50' Reel ANSI Standard

#40 Corrosion-Resistant Roller Chain - 50 Foot Reel

Premium #40 single strand roller chain with advanced Dacromet armor coating for superior corrosion protection in agricultural and industrial applications. This 50-foot reel is ideal for medium-sized installations and keeping shop inventory for common repairs.

Advanced Corrosion Protection

The baked-on Dacromet coating provides exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion—more effective than nickel plating and more cost-effective than stainless steel. Each individual component (pins, bushings, rollers, and plates) is coated before assembly to ensure maximum protection throughout the entire chain.

Key Features:

• Dacromet armor coating for superior corrosion resistance
• ANSI standard compliant - works with standard #40 sprockets
• Each component individually coated before assembly
• More corrosion-resistant than nickel plated chain
• Cost-effective alternative to stainless steel
• Includes five connector links (one per 10 feet)
• 1,200 links per 50-foot reel

40 Roller Chain Dimensions

Ideal Applications:

• Planter Fertilizer Boxes: Resists corrosion from fertilizer exposure
• Planter Insecticide Boxes: Withstands chemical exposure from insecticides
• Outdoor Agricultural Equipment: Protects against weather and field conditions
• Food Processing Equipment: Safe for food industry washdown environments
• Coastal Applications: Resists salt air and moisture
• Any Corrosive Environment: Where standard chain would rust and fail

Why Choose Dacromet Coated Chain?

In moisture-prone or chemically corrosive environments, standard carbon steel chain deteriorates rapidly, leading to premature failure and costly downtime. Dacromet coating provides extended service life in harsh conditions while maintaining full ANSI compatibility with standard sprockets and components. It's the smart choice for agricultural equipment exposed to fertilizers, insecticides, and weather.

Perfect 50-Foot Length

The 50-foot reel provides excellent value for medium-sized installations and is ideal for keeping in your shop inventory for common repairs. With five connector links included, you have everything you need for multiple installations or repairs.
