Some Restrictions

BioThane, Beta 520, Standard

The BioThane® Beta 520 standard product is a PVC coated polyester webbing with a matte finish and 'leather' embossed grain surface. The feel is soft and flexible. BioThane webbing is waterproof, durable, UV resistant, weldable, and easy to clean. A great leather alternative for pet products, dog collars, leashes, belts, leads, strapping, equine saddlery tack, and more.

Type: Beta 520 Standard

Beta 520 Standard Specs:

  • Thickness: Standard = 2.5mm - 0.1" inch - (6oz)
  • Surface Finish: Embossed leather grain texture with a matte finish
  • Material: Polyester webbing interior (B10) with PVC exterior coating
  • Temper (Stiffness): Semi-Soft - Pliable
  • Tape Color: Multiple Choices
  • Webbing Widths: 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1"
  • Break Strength: 1,000 lbs per square inch (453 kgs)

Lengths:

  • By the foot - continuous length
    • For example, if you order a quantity of 9, you will get 9 continuous feet.
    • There are up to 2 splices in a roll of 100 feet. Therefore, we only guarantee continuous lengths of up to 10 feet, meaning if you order a quantity of 17 of the 1-foot (continuous length), it is possible you will receive a 10 foot length and a 7 foot length.
  • 25 Foot Roll
  • 100 Foot Roll
    • In a 100' roll BioThane does not guarantee 100 continuous feet. There may be up to 2 splices (3 pieces) in a roll of 100. But no piece will be shorter than 10 feet.

 Beta 520 Standard vs Super Heavy:

  • The only difference between standard and super heavy is the PVC coating thickness. Super heavy has a total thickness of 4.0mm (10oz) compared to standards 2.5mm (6oz) thickness. Break strength is the same for both (1,000 lbs per square inch) as the strength comes from the polyester webbing inside the PVC coating, and this webbing is the same for standard and super heavy.

Beta BioThane®

Beta BioThane® 3/4 standard was perfect for our project in creating an e-collar and matching wristlet. The color is very vibrant, the material is smooth to the touch and super durable. Quality is always 10/10!

Biothane

I ordered this to make a cross body strap for a suede kidskin bag. The kidskin was too small and too thin to cut a strap from. The color was a perfect match. Biothane was thicker than I expected, but it gave more cushioning than plain nylon webbing and the texture gave it a classier look than webbin...

Biothane

I have a bunch of beagles and kennel some together. Sometimes they chew on collars. I had collar hardware from years past. This material was easy to work with and I am very satisfied with it. We will see how it lasts.

Best stuff on earth

It’s light but durable. It fits E collars well. I have bought stuff that said it was the same material not even close. The quality is excellent. The colors are amazing and there’s multiple choices you could pick and different sizes.
