Biothane is a durable, synthetic material often used for making straps, collars, leashes, and other outdoor gear. It's made from a nylon or polyester webbing that is coated with PVC or TPU, making it waterproof, easy to clean, and resistant to wear and tear.

Benefits of Biothane:

  • Durability: Resistant to abrasion, UV rays, and extreme temperatures.
  • Waterproof: Doesn't absorb moisture, making it ideal for outdoor use.
  • Easy to Clean: Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse with water.
  • Lightweight: Lighter than leather, making it convenient for everyday use.

Caring for Waterproof Beta 520 BioThane Webbing:

Material Overview:
Beta 520 BioThane is a durable, waterproof material made from a polyester webbing coated with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). This combination makes it resistant to abrasions, mold, mildew, and UV damage, making it ideal for outdoor use, including dog collars, leashes, and gear straps.

Care Instructions:

1. Cleaning:
Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the webbing with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
Deep Cleaning: For heavy soiling, soak the webbing in warm soapy water, scrub gently, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

2. Drying:
Allow the webbing to air dry completely before storing. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent any potential fading.

3. Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material. Avoid folding or creasing the webbing, as it may lead to permanent kinks.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
Do not use bleach or use harsh solvents, as these can damage the TPU coating. Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaning products.

5. Avoid contact with bug repellent, flea and tick treatment: These chemicals can damage the material and lead to cracking.

6. Inspect Regularly:
Check for any signs of wear or damage regularly, especially if used in rugged conditions. Replace items showing significant wear for safety.

7. Daily Wear and Tear:

Scratches and blemishes are to be expected over time from daily use. Dragging leashes, rough play, scratching, etc. can result in webbing damage. BioThane is durable but not chew-proof. Natural oils from your dog's coat and skin can also result in hardening of the BioThane material as well as cracking. Daily cleaning can increase the longevity of your gear.

By following these care tips, you can ensure that your Beta 520 BioThane webbing remains in excellent condition, providing you with durable and reliable performance for years to come!
