SRAM PC68 chain OK for road?

However on the front of the box it says MTB? Is there a problem/difference to use it for road?

It is perfectly fine. No difference.

I just mail order received the SRAM PC68 chain hoping to use it on my road bike Shimano 105
hardware: The Front Derailleur is FD-1056, the chain wheels are SG B-53 and SG B-39, the cassette
is Hyperglide 13-26 and the rear derailluer is Integrated 8-SIS.

For road use, you have to mount it backwards. Rather than 'SRAM' on the plates reading right-side up
on the top of the chain run, make it read right-side up on the bottom of the chain run....

(uh, no.... 'MTB' is marketing speak and makes no difference in actual use. Put it on any which way
and ride off.)

Provided it's an 8 speed chain, no problem. Silver Dura-Ace chains look nicer though ;-)

MTB chains such as the PC68 are designed to repel dirt and grit buildup on the chain itself. This
makes sense given where MTB's are used. If it does get dirty, just take it off and shake it a couple
of times then reinstall. It should work fine on a road bike as well. ;-)

Use it, it will be fine.

This is complete nonsense.

Please explain how an MTB chain "repels" dirt and road chains do not. While you're at it, explain
how shaking a chain will clean it where it matters.

Yup.

But wouldn't it be wonderful if chains really were like that? Guess my 5 year old son is having too
much influence on me.
