Durometer is the hardness of a non-metallic product or the gauge used to measure the hardness. The two most common elastomer durometer scales, using slightly different measurement systems, are the ASTM D2240 type A and type D scales. The A scale is for softer urethanes, while the D scale is for harder ones.

No, polyurethane outperforms rubber in the cold. When the temperature drops, rubber may break down, but urethane keeps doing its thing. If you have a piece of equipment that needs abrasion or corrosion resistance – and it will be exposed to the elements- you may want to considering covering it with urethane.
