Why the Team at PK9 Loves Biothane: A Game-Changer for Dog Training Gear

At PK9, we’re passionate about crafting high-performance dog training equipment that stands up to the demands of active dogs and their trainers. We know you rely on our products to perform in tough environments, and that’s why we’ve chosen Biothane for many of our products. But what makes Biothane so special? Let us break it down for you.

What is Biothane?

Biothane is a premium synthetic material made of a polyester webbing core coated with a PVC or TPU outer layer. That might sound technical, but what it means is that Biothane combines the strength of traditional nylon webbing with a durable, waterproof, and easy-to-clean coating. The result? A material that performs in ways leather or standard nylon just can’t match.

Why We Use Biothane at PK9

When we design and test our products, we’re not just thinking about looks or trends. We’re focused on performance, durability, and reliability—the hallmarks of the PK9 brand. Here’s why Biothane checks every box for us:

1. Unmatched Durability

Biothane is virtually indestructible in everyday use. It resists abrasions, stretching, cracking, and even chewing (because we all know how resourceful some dogs can be!). Whether you're working with high-drive dogs in training or heading out on rugged outdoor adventures, Biothane gear can handle it.

2. Waterproof & Weatherproof

No one wants soggy gear that smells like mildew after a day at the beach or training in the rain. Biothane is 100% waterproof and doesn’t absorb odours. It's perfect for wet environments, whether you're training in the rain, working with water-loving dogs, or navigating muddy trails.

3. Easy to Clean

Unlike leather or fabric, Biothane cleans up in seconds. A quick rinse under running water or a wipe with a damp cloth, and it looks brand new. No need to worry about dirt, grime, or stains—Biothane is built to stay fresh and functional no matter where your adventures take you.

4. Grip and Comfort

Biothane provides excellent grip, even when wet, so you always feel in control. It’s also comfortable in your hand, with none of the stiffness or break-in period required by leather. For us, it’s the perfect balance of strength and flexibility.

5. Made to Last in Australia

As an Australian-owned and operated company, we love working with materials that complement our rugged landscape. Biothane thrives in Australia’s harshest conditions, from scorching summers to rainy winters. Plus, it’s proudly manufactured to high standards, ensuring a premium finish that matches PK9’s commitment to quality.

Who Benefits from Biothane?

Biothane is more than just a material—it’s a solution. Whether you’re a professional dog trainer, an avid adventurer, or simply someone who values quality gear for their dog, Biothane offers real, tangible benefits:

• Dog trainers love it for its reliability and easy maintenance during long, demanding sessions.
• Outdoor enthusiasts rely on it for gear that withstands mud, rain, and rough terrain without wearing down.
• Everyday dog owners appreciate its stylish look, low-maintenance nature, and ability to handle whatever their dogs throw at it.

Our Biothane Gear: Designed with Purpose

At PK9, we don’t just choose Biothane because it’s trendy—we choose it because it works. Some of our most popular Biothane products include:

Leashes: Designed for strong grip and long-term durability, our Biothane leashes are perfect for active dogs who love to explore.

Collars: Waterproof, odour-free, and stylish, Biothane collars are made to stay comfortable and functional in all conditions.

Long Lines: Whether you're working on recall training or giving your dog more freedom, our Biothane long lines provide durability and flexibility.

Every piece of Biothane gear we make is field-tested and approved by the PK9 team—because we’d never sell you something we wouldn’t trust with our own dogs.
