What is BioThane®?
BioThane® belting is a nylon web which has been coated with thermoplastic polyurethane. This coating provides a tough and abrasion-resistant surface which does not unravel or fray as does uncoated nylon. BioThane® comes in a variety of colors that are used as a trim overlay on bridles and breastplates.
For years BioThane® with a polyurethane coating has been used in the equine market for tack and harness. That product has performed extremely well, but it did not have the 'look' and 'feel' of leather, which is important in some applications. The Beta Series was developed to satisfy that need. The vinyl coating represents a balance of toughness, softness and low temperature flexibility.
Equipment made of these materials is very durable and practically maintenance-free. They need no oiling and can be cleaned with water and a little soap for a more thorough job. They do not get stiff in cold weather nor do they dry out in the heat. They are great for rainy, muddy days and do not mildew if kept in a damp place. Plus, there is a minimum of chafing since coated webbing has a very smooth surface.
