Merrie,
Yep, you
did have it backward. The original
style biothane that many people use as both the primary material and an overlay
(typically referred to as biothane), is the thinner, brightly colored plastic
looking material. It is made from
Polyurethane over a polyester webbing and there are actually several
thicknesses available.
Beta is
the more leather like material with an emboss to give a leather grain. It is available in 2 thicknesses and
only black or several browns. One
is called Standard and is the same thickness as the colored biothane. The other is much thicker and called Super
Heavy. (Note, these terms for the
thickness options are what BioPlastics uses, I’m not sure about other biothane
sources.) The beta material is a
vinyl over webbing.
I think
that biothane over beta makes a nice combination too!
