The present invention relates to a chain comprising a plurality of chain links comprising a polymeric fiber and wherein said chain comprises at least one spacer having a thickness Δ at the contact location through which loads are directly transmitted between said chain links and a ratio Δ/τ=f, with τ being the thickness of any of the chain links at the contact location through which loads are directly transmitted between said chain links and f being in a range between 0.10 and 2.50. The invention further relates to the use said chain for storing, securing, lashing and tying down for handling and transporting cargo, in lifting and hoisting, logging, hauling and rigging, propulsion and driving, mooring, cargo-hold of an aircraft or naval ship. |
