FAQs

What is BioThane®?

BioThane® is the brand name of all coated webbing products made by BioThane Coated Webbing Corp. It consists of a polyester webbing with a PVC coating that makes it more durable, waterproof, and easy to clean than traditional nylon webbing.

I use standard thickness Beta® 520 series BioThane® for all my products, which has a thickness of approximately 0.1". It is a softer variety of BioThane® with a matte finish.

  

Is BioThane® chew proof?

No, BioThane® is very strong but it is not chew-proof. A determined dog will be able to damage it or even chew all the way through it.

 

Is BioThane® made in the USA?

Yes, all BioThane® is manufactured in their plant in North Ridgeville, Ohio.

 

Will Flea/Tick Collars Damage BioThane®?

Flea and tick collars worn next to BioThane® collars can potentially cause cracking issues with the BioThane®. For this reason, a BioThane® collar is not recommended if also using a flea or tick collar.

 

Care Instructions:

I like to use Clorox type wipes to clean the BioThane®. The collars can also be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. Rinse collar after swimming in water with chemicals or salt water and allow collar to completely dry.
