The benefits of galvanizing
The base material of a type 763 hot-dip galvanized foot chain in a 30-meter bundle is iron. If used untreated outdoors, the chain would quickly rust under the influence of moisture and lose its strength. Therefore, a type 763 hot-dip galvanized foot chain in a 30-meter bundle is galvanized. This means that a very thin layer of zinc is applied to the links. This seals the iron from moisture and oxygen, significantly slowing down the formation of rust. Eventually, a foot chain will become damaged through years of use and will still rust to some extent.
