Polyurea
Polyurea is typically hard and not very flexible. It resists abrasion and tearing due to high tensile strength. However, its harder surface allows cargo to slip because typically it is smoother than a softer polyurethane application. Polyureas are more expensive than polyurethanes and require specialized application tools and protective equipment to spray.
Polyurethane can be flexible and much softer than polyureas. Like anything there is a trade-off for altering physical properties. In this case a polyurethane spray liner has a higher potential to get gouged due to the lower tensile strength (compared to polyurea). Remember we are talking about materials that are in a class that exhibits very high levels of resistance to tear, gouge and puncture in general. So, this is not implying that the material is weak, simply different than the polyurea model.

Is polyurethane renewable?
Polyurethane can be recycled.
What is the difference between a polyurethane PU coating and a thermoplastic polyurethane TPU coating?
A thermoset is a material that cures or sets into a given shape, generally through the application of heat. A cured, thermoset material will not remelt or otherwise regain the processibility it had before being cured. Curing changes the material forever. A thermoplastic material softens (becomes pliable and plastic) when heated, but it does not cure or set. It can be reheated to be reformed.
What are the properties of polyurethane?
The properties of polyurethane are resistance to explosive decompression and interaction with light. Polyurethane is also durable and makes a good insulator.
Why is polyurethane foam a good insulator?
cuz it has a lot of air particles in between which allows the sound to travel slower.
When was polyurethane foam first made?
in 1380 by Richard thinkton, England, Dublin.
What is the chemical formula of Lycra?
It is a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer
What synthetic fiber does elastane come from?
Elastane is itself a synthetic fiber. In the US it goes by the name "spandex". It's a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer that was developed in 1959.
What should one use to protect the bed in their Chevy truck?
To protect the bed of a Chevy truck a bed liner should be used. There are a few different materials that bed liners are made of but they are sprayed on. Some of the materials are Polyurethane and Polyurea.
What is the coefficient of friction between polyethylene and polyurethane?
polyethylene Average: 1.42 polyurethane Average: 0.25
How do you make tennis ball from polyurethane?
There is no evidence of a ball been made from polyurethane. There are polyurethane foam balls, but unfortunately no tennis balls. The process is likely to be the same as a normal tennis ball, the only difference being that the rubber in the ball is replaced by polyurethane.
Is polyurethane epoxy a resin?
Polyurethane isn't epoxy, but they're both resins. They're also both reaction copolymers--you get either one through a chemical reaction between two components. The difference is, epoxy contains epoxide and polyamine; polyurethane contains a complex alcohol (either a "diol" or a "polyol") plus an isocyanate.
What hormone causes polyurea polyphagia and polydipsia?
insulin

Is Polyurethane foam Hypoallergenic?

it should
Who invented polyurethane?
