Superior stainless steel chains
Cromox® is a range of marine stainless steel anchor chains made by the German company Ketten Waelder whose products are beyond excellent.
Manufactured in Germany, Cromox stainless steel chains are made using the most advanced and sophisticated technology in the world, adhering to the most stringent quality control procedures ever. For this reason, these chains have the highest resistance to breakage, rust or corrosion.
- Grade 60 AISI 316L stainless steel chains
- The innovative chains in Grade 60 plus AISI 318 LN DUPLEX steel
Cromox chains guarantee:
- Maximum reliability regarding breaking loads
- Precise DIN 766/ISO 4565 gauging for any on-board windlass anchor winches.
- Extra smooth clean surface areas thanks to a series of special exclusive treatment that make all Cromox chains long lasting and easy to handle.
- Certified quality materials, reduced carbon 1.4404 AISI 316 L or 1,4462 AISI 318 LN DUPLEX that guarantees greater resistance to sea water and has a higher breakage load capacity.
- Very good price/performance ratio
IMPORANT:
We think Waelder is currently the only maker in the world of the AISI 318 LN chain, it guarantees an unprecedented breakage load capacity and even greater resistance to marine corrosion or wear and tear.
This chain absolutely guarantees utmost safety on board and the greatest reliability over time!
Furthermore, unlike traditional AISI 316 stainless steel chains which are limited compared to normal galvanized chains – in terms of working load resistance Cromox AISI 318 LN performed far better than standard chains and guarantees up to now unobtainable breakage load resistance.
You get all the qualities of other normal stainless steel chains with the new Cromox 318 LN chains, they're smooth turning, long-lasting, clean, rust-free, easy to insert in the peak etc.. but you also get the undisputed benefit of the superior pulling and breakage load capacity and more resistance to rust or corrosion. This qualifies Cromox stainless steel chains as the best available on the market.
Important:
The PREN scale (Pitting-corrosion Resistance Equivalent) helps to understand the scale of resistance to corrosion, and Cromox scores very high on the scale:
AISI 316L = PREN 23,1 – 28,5
AISI 318 LN = PREN 30,85 – 38,07.
AISI 316L = PREN 23,1 – 28,5
AISI 318 LN = PREN 30,85 – 38,07.
With our Duplex stainless steel AISI 318LN we guarantee a PRE-value of minimum 35 to be seawater resistant!!!
TOP QUALITY CHAINS MEAN MAXIMUM SAFETY!
