What are Stainless Steel Banding Straps and Buckles Used For?

S.S. banding is a highly durable material used widely in various industries. Safe-edge ss banding is ideal for situations where bare hands may come in contact with materials. In contrast, standard-edge banding is commonly used in heating and ventilation, oil and gas insulation, and for securing metal jacketing or cladding on tanks.

Stainless steel buckles are widely used in the sign industry, especially when the diameter of posts is small and teeth buckles are required. The knock-down wing seal is the most popular product for securing the banding in place, and it performs the same function as the buckles. Both are installed similarly, and their choice usually comes from personal preference, cost, and availability.
