Are these chains coated so they won't rust or so they won't scratch items that they are wrapped around?

The uncoated portion hasn't shown any sign of rust. My guess is they are coated so they don't pinch little fingers.

Yes, I've had mine for over two years outside and they haven't rusted and they don't scratch either.

I'm not sure why that are coated but they haven't rusted or scratched anything. They are child safe and won't pinch fingers or scratch them.

These are dipped chains. Not completely dipped though. Not having issues of rust so far. Chains are out in the weather 24/7.

The coating is thick so it does provide some protection and the chain also will not rust. My understanding is coated chains are safer for kids.

Yes but they turn gummy if left out thru the winter. I had to put duct tape over the red coating

They are pre-coated and seem to last longer than the others I've used. Hope this helps.

As I understand, they have one ply of fibrous material encapsulated between the single outer layers which is designed to shred and stop the chain motion in case of accident. I think they would be safe in the event of a kick-back or accidentally bumping the chain into one's leg. Keep in mind, though, that anything other than chain maille encased in heavy leather could be overcome.

I'm sorry I can't help you out with that question...I have long since thrown the packaging away and it's not printed anywhere on the racks (and my memory's not that good!). I can tell you they are VERY sturdy/strong steel with three supporting bars on the bottom side also. The squares are 3/8ths (10mm) apart, so nothing falls through. I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and they don't show any sign of rust at all, and I'm sure they never will. I have had flimsier ones that flex and rust in the dishwasher and these are first rate! Hope this helps a little!

The frame seems well coated. I leave it outside, but under a screen porch. I'm into the second year, and no sign of rust at all.

Cleaning them has been like cleaning my Wilton tips, so the answer is yes pretty easy, and mine have not rusted either. Hope that helps!

I think I've put them through the dishwasher at least once, although I usually just rinse off the one I just used and hang them up on the hook over my oven right away. No sign of rust at all and sometimes, it is still a little damp when I hang them up. She must have gotten a bad one. I love these.

I have been putting mine in the dishwasher for months, they get scratched a little from contact with other flatware, but have not rusted at all.

They are coated so hard to tell what they are made of. The weight suggest that it is aluminum. If it was made of stainless, I think that it would not be coated

I think they might rust, but they are metal powder coated. Maybe outdoor under cover would work. I do love mine, but I use them inside.

The steel is coated, and may also be galvanized, to protect against rust. I've had two of these outside for over a year now (in Michigan) and they still look great. I had a stained wood picnic table before these and it was trashed after a year. I'm very happy with the quality of these steel & composite tables.

they have a good finish on them but if they got scratched they would probably rust

They're made of die-cast aluminum so they won't rust. Source: Hy-ko catalog online.

We have been hand washing and drying since we bought them and we haven't seen a scratch, rust, or anything. They look brand new.

No problem with coating or color, just thought the coating was supposed to have covered the entire length of the chain, not just 1/2 way. Long story to short, is the picture(I saw) in the add that I purchased from showed the coating covering the length of the chain. Picture was changed when I notified them (after my purchase)

I do not know if they specifically have a rust coating. They do not rust over the summer outside at least for the first couple years. The do eventually loose paint and rust some. I have used them outside for my containers for several years and have been satisfied. I am just replacing some that I bought 4-5 years ago.
