Each ball and link is free to rotate making the chain resistant to kinking.plastic bead "chain": This is made of plastic solid balls moulded at regular spacings along a length of string so is not really a chain. It is not as strong as the metal chain, but can come in a wide range of colours, and is cheaper.Ball chains are commonly used as lanyards or cords (for example on pens, keys), pull-cords, sink plug chains, and can also be used as a pull chain on a cog as the balls can fit neatly into the cogs. They are used in this way to operate some roller blinds.
