Will insect repellents harm BioThane?
Insect repellents may cause staining or pitting on TPU/PVC coated belts and leather products. Many insect repellents use DEET as an active ingredient which will pit or stain polyurethane products.
When it is necessary to use a repellent which contains DEET, we suggest an embossed Granite belt as the most durable alternative. Another alternative would be to use an all-natural or organic insect repellent.

Yes, all BioThane products will hold rivets.
