BioThane® performs better than polyester because BioThane® is coated webbing, which makes it stronger and more abrasion resistant, flexible and durable than polyester.

Polyester’s uncoated surface makes it more vulnerable to weather and abrasion. It is also inferior to BioThane® in appearance. BioThane® provides the peace of mind that your product will outperform and outlast products using polyester straps.
