RUD grade 100 or VIP sling chains are made from CrNiMo steel.The inhouse made special heat treatment gives the grade 100 round steel link chain a high toughness even at the high strength of the material. A clear visual characteristic is the fluorescent PINK® powder coating. A quality criteria of the VIP chains is the certification acc. to the DGUV (BG) guidelines, which are orientated to EN818 and PAS 1061 and therefore the chains are embossed with the H1 marking. This stamping is located in short chain link distances and it tells that the testing guidelines are observed and that RUD was the first manufactures who received the grade 100 certification. Additional customer specific testing methods are possible on request. VIP quality in PINK® therefore stands for a high dynamic grade 100 chain made by RUD which is less sensitive regarding mechanical wear and damages which leads to a longer lifetime.
