KCM Nickel Plated Chains are corrosion-resistant roller chains designed for outdoor or washdown applications where rust protection is essential. At Finer Power Transmissions, we stock KCM for this product range — a Japanese brand renowned for precision manufacturing and exceptional chain durability.
Nickel plated chains are made from carbon steel with a nickel coating, offering moderate corrosion resistance and higher strength at a lower cost, making them ideal for light outdoor use and washdown environments. In contrast, stainless steel chains are fully made from stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance suited for food processing, marine, and chemical environments, but with lower tensile strength and a higher price point.
