Material
The two basic formulations of urethane, ester and ether, have some important differences. Water attacks ester-based urethane, causing a significant reduction in physical properties. Ether urethanes exhibit far superior hydrolytic stability, especially in humid environments. Ether-based materials also resist fungus growth better than ester-based materials.

Burst pressure
The burst pressure of polyurethane tubing has a relation with operating temperature, that a inversely linear dependency exists. If the tube blow out at a relative low pressure as below chart, you need to be aware of this.

PU HOSE

Flexibility and Elasticity
Polyurethane tube will stretch and flex but always return to its original shape.
When compared to other plastic and rubber tubing, polyurethane tubing offers improved flexibility at low temperatures, tear strength. When a bending happened, stretch and flex characteristics always make it return to its original shape.

Please try to pinch or bend the hose to see if it returns to original shapes quickly. It is like baby skin.
