BioThane® Webbing Product Characteristics

Look:  Smooth Gloss

Feel:  It is hard to the touch with good to excellent flexibility. In cold temperatures the flexibility of the webbing is good. It has a low to medium hand tackiness which makes it easy to grip. The coating characteristics allow for easy cutting, punching and welding

Performance: The peel adhesion ranges from good to excellent which means the coating would require a strong force to peel it away from the webbing. The abrasion-resistance is good which means the coating will abrade moderately upon extended use. It has good coating tear strength which means moderate force would be required to tear the coating away from itself. It has good to excellent weather resistance which means the color may fade very slightly over time with extended exposure to the elements.  It has selection of both colors (custom matches available) and profiles.

Application examples: Seam tape for joining broadcloth, Decon (PAPR) Belts
