What Our Collars are Made From & Why
Biothane
If your collar or leash gets soiled, simply wash in soapy water, rinse, and wipe off excess water. Dries instantly and can be worn immediately.
Waterproof ~ Odorproof ~ HypoAllergenic & AntiMicrobial
Has a minimum pull strength of 1000 pounds per inch of width and is 20% lighter than leather. Looks and feels like leather but simply outperforms and outlasts leather
Biothane is used as:
- Space Suit Straps for NASA.
- Earthquake-proofing Straps.
- NFL Shoulder Pad and Chin Straps.
- Cleanable, Reusable EMS Patient Restraint Straps.
- Marine Products.
Biothane is Made in the USA and based in Ohio.
Crystals
Most collar makers use plated metal pronged rimsets to hold the crystals.
I use Austrian Crystals securely cradled in and firmly backed by Stainless Steel from the Austrian manufacturing plant.
Stainless
I use only Stainless Steel for these reasons:
Stronger and Harder than Brass
Does not tarnish or rust or chip
Does not discolor materials it comes in contact with
Well-known for its antibacterial, hypoallergenic and hygienic properties, stainless steel is very easy to clean.
While Black, Rose Gold and Rainbow finishes are beautiful, over time the plating does dull, wear off, and chip.
