HCL Smart® Band Hybrid Buckle 19 mm / PA66

The name Hybrid refers to the unique patented design of the teeth in the buckle. The low profile buckle is made from a composite of materials that provide greater flexibility and a significant increase in strength over the standard system.

 

Smart® Band Hybrid is HCL's high strength composite polymer based strap and buckle system. With a range of installation tools, including the high-speed 3000 pneumatic tool, the Smart® Band Hybrid is the ideal solution for many offshore and onshore applications.

 

Smart® Band Hybrid is typically used as an alternative to high performance corrosion resistant alloy strapping solutions such as Inconel 625, Monel & Titanium. The hybrid system combines a number of outstanding features, such as high strength, ease of use, high retention, relaxation properties and long life, to provide the ideal strapping solution for offshore and subsea use.

Technically there is no limit to the depth of the sea in which the tires and hand tools can be used. The hand tools (except pneumatic tools) and the straps have no spaces or areas containing liquid or gas. Because they are hand tools that are generally operated by divers, our hand tools have already proven to function at depths of approximately 600 meters. However, our PA66 straps/buckles have been deployed on pipes laid 2km deep on the seabed!
The pneumatic tools (SM-FT-3000 & SM-FT-1000) cannot be used underwater at all and are designed for use on a ship or oil rig where repeated high speed application and torque management is required.
