What Do You Get When You Combine Granite and Diamond?

Griamond! In response to numerous customer requests for a “harder” version of our granite coating, we’ve integrated the hardness of our Diamond 401 with the matte finish of Granite 231. Griamond 431 is designed for the toughest harness applications and also features more abrasion resistance and buckle pull strength. Any item from our Granite class is available in Griamond.

Get a Grip with Our New Beta® 560

A softer version of Beta 520, new Beta 560 is more pliable for an improved grip on horse reins, leashes, lines and other applications requiring a secure, yet flexible handhold.

A Better Product for Less

Reflective with Edge Guard® is our newest improvement to the Reflective series. Dramatically improved reflective strip adhesion and a durable edge coating make this a great enhancement for dog collars. While the Reflective has been dramatically improved over the current Reflective products, it costs 15 percent less! Reflective with Edge Guard® is available in the Standard 1” width, with more sizes available by yearend.

Now You See It, Now You Don't

Our six most popular Beta® class products now come with black webbing, resulting in a cleaner, more professional look to products requiring cutting, holes or slots. The black web meets the same specifications as the current white web for break strength, hole pull strength, adhesion and flexibility. In addition, the Beta coating material and pricing is the same as the white webbing.

Let Our Branding Sell Your Products

Free BioThane hang tags are available for finished goods. They feature the well-known BioThane logo and phrase “Made with Genuine BioThane.” BioThane attributes are highlighted with a space for UPC codes and pricing. The new tags come in two sizes: Large (for tack and harness products) and Small (for dog collars).

New BioThane® stickers are also available free of charge. The stickers can be used on packages of BioThane products shipping to your customers. Both hang tags and stickers are available wherever you purchase your BioThane®.
