Are Green Pin Tycan^® chains resistant to chemicals?

Green Pin Tycan^® chains are made from 100% Dyneema^® UHMWPE fibers which are very resistant against chemicals and thus have a negligible impact on the lifting capacity or functionality. The fibers are highly crystalline and do not contain any chemical groups such as aromatic rings, amide, hydroxyl or others which are susceptible to attack by aggressive agents. UHMWPE fibers do not swell, hydrolyze or otherwise degrade in water, seawater or moisture. Properties such as tension, fatigue, yarn on yarn abrasion and bending fatigue may improve through contact with water. This is attributed to the cooling or lubricating effect of the water. The chemical resistance has been analyzed using loss of tensile strength as the key indicator. To classify the impact of chemicals the following categories are being used. The tables below offers a general guideline only. The material must always be tested for your specific conditions.
