What types of bead chain are available?
Plastic and metal bead chains are available from Rollease Acmeda in continuous loops to a specific footage dimension or on spools from which customers make their own loops to precise lengths. Chain loops can be made from the spooled material using connectors which can also act as stop balls. Continuous Bead Chain Loops in metal bead chain can also be made by using the bead chain pliers on the spooled material.
Plastic bead chain is available in 12mm or 6mm styles. The number refers to the distance between the centers of the balls on the bead chain. The 6mm bead chain style has double the beads per foot and is often thought to be more comfortable to use and more aesthetically pleasing.
Rollease Acmeda carries only approved and certified #10 qualified metal bead chain.
