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.
