KMC CHAIN INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.

In 2012, KMC became the world’s first chain manufacturer to attain a carbon footprint certificate which has allowed the company to promote more eco-friendly production methods as well as focus on “green” product development. In light of this initiative, KMC is proud to present the new Eco ProTeQ (EPT) Series chains.

The primary attribute of EPT chains is the significantly enhanced anti-corrosion/anti-rust coating with an added focus on a more environmentally friendly manufacturing process. In addition to following all environment standards (RoHS, REACH, CPSIA, etc.), KMC factories have and continue to reduce carbon emissions whenever possible. The new EPT treatment technology improves the chain protection by completely coating all the components to form a comprehensive and durable anti-corrosion surface. By substantially increasing the anti-rust coefficient, EPT is able to withstand 650 hours salt spray test without rusting, which is 10 times more than an average chain. Furthermore, by uniting the highest tensile strength, superb rigidity, efficient energy-transfer technology, upgraded plate designs, and unsurpassed riveting geometry, KMC’s leading technology allows EPT chains the highest pin power, the highest durability, and the best shifting performance. All of these advantages coalesce to give EPT chains the best anti-rust capabilities and optimal chain performance in the most adverse environments.

In many European countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, bicycles are an important means of transportation which require anti-rust chains like the KMC EPT chain; less maintenance and chain care are required and EPT chains do not need to be replaced as often as non-protected chains. EPT’s superior corrosion resistance and enhanced chain performance are also important for Cross Country and Cycle Cross riders who frequently navigate muddy courses. Above all, EPT chains are suitable for any rider seeking a high quality, low maintenance chain.
