U.S. Tsubaki Introduces Neptuneâ„¢ Chain
Groundbreaking corrosion protection offers strength AND safety
Wheeling, Ill., November, 2002 —U.S. Tsubaki has developed groundbreaking surface treatment technology that provides better corrosion resistance in a stronger, longer-lasting chain. New NEPTUNE™ Chain lasts ten times longer than nickel-plated chain in operations exposed to water, seawater, or outdoor conditions.
New NEPTUNEâ„¢ Chain from U.S. Tsubaki offers carbon-steel strength with a unique double barrier against corrosion. A specially developed top coat protects the chain from physical impact and corrosive agents. A zinc base coat extends the protection through a unique sacrificing function that prevents oxidization from reaching the chain core. The low-temperature process requires no acid wash, so chain strength and wear life is maintained.
In more than 500 hours of saltwater spray testing, NEPTUNE™ Chain showed no occurrence of rust — and when rust did occur, it advanced slowly, allowing longer chain use.
In addition, NEPTUNE™ Chain is the only corrosion-resistant chain with a chromium-free coating, which means it won’t expose your plant or your personnel to hexavalent chromium — a known carcinogen that may be harmful if inhaled or absorbed. The use of hexavalent chromium is already being phased out by the automotive, construction, and steel industries. NEPTUNE™ Chain protects your people and your environment while providing super-strong rust block. You can avoid costly retrofits to comply with environmental codes.
U.S. Tsubaki has produced a new, 8-page, full color brochure that provides detailed specifications on NEPTUNEâ„¢ Chain. NEPTUNEâ„¢ Roller Chain is available in sizes 35 to 100. NEPTUNEâ„¢ Conveyor Chain is available in single pitch and double pitch, sizes 40 to 100. NEPTUNEâ„¢ Leaf Chain is also available.
U.S. Tsubaki is one of the country’s only manufacturers of a complete line of drive chains, attachment chains, engineering class chains, sprockets, and power transmission components. The company is a subsidiary of Tsubakimoto Chain Co. of Japan, the world’s leading chain and power transmission component manufacturer.
