Question
Is there any material called URATHENE? If yes, what is the different with POLYURATHENE?
Urethane has three definitions that you have to know the context to figure out which one to use.
1. A specific chemical
2. A chemical containing the urethane base
3. A urethane polymer (polyurethane)
Polyurethane - a polymer containing urethane units
These links will explain the differences.
