MBT bands feature a patented ball lock system that allows the band to be locked in any position along its entire length. They are available in both 316 and 304 stainless steel. MBT bands are typically used in harsh conditions or where special chemical resistance, fire, temperature, or high tensile strength is required. They are used in all industries, from mass transportation and shipbuilding to the refinery and mining industries, as well as exhibition installations. Metal bands are also used to secure cables and wires from falling and to block evacuation routes in the event of a fire.
