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!).
