> Some are made of polyurethane. Guess what urethane is.

Diiosocyanates reacted with polyols.


Polyurethane is not the same thing as urethane (ethyl carbamate), and it
is not made of urethane units. It's a chain of organic subunits joined
by urethane linkaqes.

BTW, lycra, clear elastic, Ultrasuede, many coated nylons , pleather,
some rigid insulating foams, Gorilla glue, many carpet paddings... they've
all got polyurethane components.

That's how I feel about the plastic shower curtains ... they smell exactly
the same as body bags ... just no zipper.

I'd guess you haven't tried Nikwax cottonproof?

My favorite is ye olde closely woven cotton canvas. Heavy enough the
mini-hurricane you create in showering doesn't wrap the curtain around your
ankles, easy enough to take down and bleach.
