Leashes and collars are essential for every dog owner. They allow you to lead your dog safely and effectively while still allowing him a degree of freedom. Leashes and collars are available in all colors and made from a wide variety of materials. One material that has become increasingly popular in recent years is Biothane®.
What is Biothane®?
Biothane® is a synthetic material made from polyester or nylon webbing coated with PVC or TPU. This coating makes the material water-repellent, abrasion-resistant, and easy to clean.
The material was first developed in the 1970s by a company called Bio-Plastics as a substitute for leather and nylon and has since been used in various industries, including dog equipment. In the equine industry, Biothane is now widely used for bridles, snaffles, boots, girths, and harnesses. In the dog industry, Biothane is used for leashes, collars, harnesses, and muzzles.
An ideal material for everyday use
In short, it's an ideal material for everyday use as a leash or collar. Especially if your dog is a water lover or loves to roll around. You can simply dry a Biothane collar after rolling around or rinse it under running water. After all, who hasn't experienced this: you've put a fancy leather collar on your dog, and then, of all days, he rolls around in something unappealing?
With Biothane leashes, it doesn't matter whether you're standing with one foot on the short leash to do calming exercises with your dog or simply to restrain him, or you're simply leaving the leash outside. If your Biothane leash gets dirty, simply rinse it under running water and it'll look like new again.
Advantages of Biothane® leashes
- Water-repellent:
One of the most important properties of Biothane® is its abrasion and water resistance. This means that even in rain or while swimming, Biothane® leashes and collars won't absorb moisture, soften, or develop marks like leather. This is especially useful if your dog enjoys swimming or for walks in bad weather. - Abrasion resistance:
Biothane® is highly abrasion-resistant, meaning it retains its shape and appearance even after years of use. Even if the dog
pulls on the leash and collar, rolls around and drags the collar on the floor. - Easy to clean:
Biothane® is easy to clean. It can be easily washed with soap and water and dries quickly. This is especially
Important for dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors and roll around in mud and dirt. Simply rinse, dry, and the collar is ready for use again. - Colors and designs:
Biothane® is available in many different shapes, designs, widths and colors. - Durable:
Biothane® leashes are very durable and will last for many years. This not only saves money but is also sustainable. - Odorless:
Biothane® is odorless, meaning it has no odor of its own and does not absorb any odors. - Comfortable:
Biothane® collars and leashes are very lightweight and therefore very comfortable for the dog to wear. They are soft and flexible, which
means that they do not chafe or rub uncomfortably when the dog moves. - Sustainability:
Biothane® collars are also a sustainable choice because they are durable and do not need to be replaced as quickly as other collars.
Biothane® is also an environmentally friendly material as it is recyclable and a vegan alternative to leather.
Conclusion
Biothane® leashes and collars offer many advantages over other materials. They are water-repellent, abrasion-resistant, easy to clean, durable, and available in a variety of colors and designs. This makes them the ideal everyday companion for you and your dog. They're also a sustainable choice, as they're durable and made from recyclable materials.
