Urea:
In 2002 my #2 son Rob opened a spray-on truck bed-liner business using
urea as the liner material. It was superior to the materials used by
other bed liner companies - Linex,etc. But - just as he was getting it
off the ground - Chevy and others started using plastics in their truck
beds and he could see the hand writing on the wall, and sold out, went
another direction. Too bad. That was good stuff.

Urea has a wide range of applications.
