What are the major differences between Polyurea and Polyurethane?

Polyurea’s intrinsic properties make it an ideal candidate for durable, gorgeous coatings that stand up to some of the most arduous conditions, including marine and industrial conditions. It remains clear under UV light and handles damp environments, making it an appealing coating for floors and other building surfaces like countertops.

Polyurethane is often employed to make mattress foam, insulation, and hardened protective coatings, polyurethane is one of the most prevalent polyols in modern industry. You can find it in shoes, housing, furniture, cars, and more.

The creation of chemical polymers has unlocked new worlds of opportunity in manufacturing, and with the recent addition of polyurea to the lineup, the capability of these materials will continue to grow. New additives and application methods are continually being developed, and new industrial needs are being met or surpassed as the formulations are developed.
