Re: delaminating biothane

[benamil@juno.com (David Bennett)]

I am very happy with my Biothane equipment as well.  This may just be a
case of a bad batch of Biothane.  However, in general, Biothane does not
delaminate because of the way it is made.  Oputhane, which is another
material from another manufacturer, DOES delaminate after a little usage
or after getting wet.  It has a coating over nylon strapping instead of
being impregnated into the fibers the way Biothane is...

My Biothane tack looks great after years of use.  The Oputhane that I
have looked old and shabby after a couple of months...  And Sportack
makes great stuff, too.
