Abstract

The invention relates to a chain link for a power transmission chain, at least partly embodied from a composition containing at least: a. a recyclable raw material, b. a material for binding said recyclable raw material and c. optional adjuncts and additives. In comparison to conventional chain links, the above chain link can be produced in a more environmentally-friendly and economical manner with a saving of non-recyclable raw materials, such as for example crude oil whilst retaining similar or adequate functional properties in comparison with conventional chain links for power transmission chains.
