MBT bands feature a patented ball lock system that allows for locking the band at any point along its entire length. They are available in both 316 and 304 stainless steel constructions. MBT bands are typically used for work in harsh conditions or where special chemical resistance, fire resistance, temperature resistance, or high tensile strength is required. They are used in various industries from mass transportation and shipbuilding to the oil refining and mining industries, as well as exhibition installations. Metal bands are also used to secure cables and wires against falling and blocking evacuation routes in case of a fire.
