Biothane 16 mm

In this category you will find Biothane in a 16 mm width: flexible strips and straps that are often used for wearable and functional accessories. Biothane is suitable for applications where a neat finish and easy maintenance are important. The 16 mm width is a practical medium size for light to medium-duty applications.

What is 16MM Biothane used for?

This width is often chosen for items where a slim, strong strap is required without bulk. Typical applications include straps, dog leads or collars, key fobs, attachments to bags and smaller fastening points in outdoor or craft projects. 16 mm offers a balance between comfort and load-bearing capacity.

Key features

• Suitable width for small to medium-sized fastenings and buckles.
• Easy to clean: wiping with a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
• Flexibility for knots, edges or curved finishes without the material creasing easily.
• Available in various colours and finishes, so it combines neatly with hardware and trimmings.

Selection criteria

When choosing Biothane 16MM, pay particular attention to:

- Compatibility with the hardware: choose buckles, D-rings and rivets suitable for a 16 mm width.

- The desired finish: smooth or matt top layer and any colour fastness, depending on aesthetics and use.

- Thickness and flexibility: thinner strips will drape more smoothly, whilst thicker strips provide greater stiffness and reinforcement.
