The chains that form plastic chains are known as polymer chains, typically made from materials like polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene. These polymers are durable and flexible, making them ideal for producing products like plastic safety chains used in various applications, such as crowd control and traffic safety.

Yes, plastic chains can be strong, especially when made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). While they are not as strong as metal chains, they provide sufficient strength for use in plastic safety chain barriers, crowd control, and light-duty applications.

The weight a plastic chain can hold depends on its size and material. For example, a strong plastic chain like an 8mm variant typically holds 125 to 250 lbs, making it suitable for light-duty applications.

A #8 plastic chain typically refers to a chain with a diameter of approximately 8 mm. This size is commonly used for 8 mm plastic safety chain in applications such as traffic control, crowd management, and creating temporary barriers.

Yes, a plastic chain can be used as a rain chain, especially if it’s a durable, UV-resistant type like yellow plastic chain or high-density polyethylene. However, it may not have the aesthetic appeal of metal rain chains.
