What is the difference between UF and PP Toilet Seats?

There are two types of materials that are used to construct toilet seats being UF, which stands for Urea-Formaldehyde, and PP, which stands for Polypropylene. What on earth does this even mean, you may well ask. Let's take a look at what these products actually are and why you would choose one over the other.

Urea-Formaldehyde

• The UF material does not scratch
• It is easy to clean and should look brand new for years
• UF looks more like ceramic and less like plastic than the PP material
• It's resistant against cigarette burns
• When you tap on it you will notice it has a 'deeper' sound and doesn't sound 'plastic'

Polypropylene

• Shiny look
• Unbreakable
• Generally inexpensive
• Lightweight
• “Plastic” look
• Static effects (i.e. dust sticks on the material), not scratch resistant
