{"title":"Urea Buttons","description":"\u003ch2\u003eUrea buttons: strength that withstands heat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrea buttons, also known as UF buttons (from urea formaldehyde resin), are made from a thermoset plastic. Unlike thermoplastics, once cured this material does not soften when heated. That is why urea buttons keep their shape and colour through ironing, high-temperature washing and dry cleaning. Polkom manufactures and supplies urea buttons wholesale and to order for clothing, uniform and workwear manufacturers across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProperties of urea buttons\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ehigh hardness and scratch resistance;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eheat resistance: they do not warp during ironing or industrial laundering;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eresistance to dry cleaning;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003egood colour retention over time;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ea refined, slightly matte look reminiscent of natural materials;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003esuitable for logo engraving.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUrea or polyester: what is the difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth materials are synthetic but behave differently. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/polyester-buttons\"\u003ePolyester buttons\u003c\/a\u003e offer a huge variety of colours, effects and gloss levels and are an excellent choice for most fashion garments. Urea buttons are harder, heavier and far more resistant to high temperatures, so they are preferred where a garment is washed often and hot or ironed intensively.
