Polyurethane (/ˌpɒliˈjʊərəˌθeɪn, -jʊəˈrɛθeɪn/; often abbreviated PUR and PU) is a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane)

Polyurethane foam is a solid polymeric foam based on polyurethane chemistry. As a specialist synthetic material with highly diverse applications, polyurethane

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is any of the polyurethane polymers that are thermoplastic; that is, they become pliable when heated and harden when

Polyurethane laminate (PUL, thermal stretch, fuzzy rubber) is a compound fabric made by laminating a cloth fabric to one or both sides of a thin film of

leatherette, imitation leather, faux leather, vegan leather, PU leather (polyurethane), and pleather. Artificial leathers are often used in clothing fabrics

from a material other than latex, such as polyurethane. Internal condoms are typically made from polyurethane and may be used multiple times. With proper
