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 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 all industries, from mass transportation and shipbuilding to the refinery and mining industries, as well as in exhibition installations. Metal bands are also used to secure cables and wires to prevent them from falling and blocking evacuation routes in the event of a fire.
