Material Notes: 2 PART URETHANE RUBBER
2 Part Urethane rubbers start off as syrup consistency liquids and cure to amazingly tough rubbery solids ranging from skin-soft to heel-hard.
High Abrasion Strength urethane rubber surfaces can survive a hard life of contacting other things, e.g. skateboard wheels.
High Tear Strength meaning that tears won't easily "spread". To better understand this, imagine the following scenario: a paper thin sheet is held stretched in a frame and a cut is made in the middle with a razor blade. With urethane, the cut wouldn't grow on its own. With silicone rubber, on the other hand, the cut would quickly zip across the whole sheet.
