The chain, whose novel design makes it beneficial in both dry and wet environments, is lube-free, meaning that it requires little maintenance and is suitable for use in hygienic applications. It is available with stainless steel or plastic rollers.

With stainless steel rollers the chain has an operating temperature range of between -20 and 100°C. The plastic rollers will operate at temperatures between -20 and 80°C and offer many times conventional wear life, thanks to the increased wear resistance of the material.

Both chain styles are suitable for use in dry environments while the stainless steel rollers are recommended for installation in wet applications.
