Resin Dome Badges FAQs
How can you tell the difference between polyurethane and epoxy?
You can tell the difference between polyurethane and epoxy by their appearance, feel, and how they react over time. Here are the main ways to tell them apart:
- Polyurethane usually is flexible and soft to the touch (can be rigid), while epoxy is hard and rigid.
- Polyurethane stays clear and glossy for years, but epoxy tends to yellow over time
- Polyurethane resists cracking, shrinking, and peeling, while epoxy can become brittle in sunlight or heat
- Polyurethane bends slightly and returns to shape, making it better for curved or outdoor surfaces
- Epoxy burns and turns black when heated, while polyurethane liquefies but does not hold a flame
- Polyurethane is the better choice for long-term, outdoor, and high-quality applications
