Does anyone know how to tell the difference, based on melting point. The
urethane stuff has a higher melting point than the PVC. So, for example one
will melt on a medium iron whereas the other won't??
Previously it was possible to differentiate on the elasticity/hysteresis of
a sample, but no they seem very similar (or PVC is being labelled commonly
as urethane!).
