The key difference between HDPE and MDPE is that HDPE has a high sensitivity to stress cracking whereas MDPE has better stress cracking resistance when compared to HDPE. The terms HDPE stands for high density polyethylene while the terms MDPE stands for medium density polyethylene. Polyethylene or polythene is a polymer material consisting of repeating […]
Difference Between Epoxy and Polyurethane
The key difference between epoxy and polyurethane is that the epoxy contains epoxide groups whereas polyurethanes contain urethane linkages. In the application point of view, the main difference between epoxy and polyurethane is that the epoxy resins can resist moderate temperatures while the polyurethanes can withstand high temperatures. Both epoxy and polyurethane are polymer materials. […]
Difference Between Hydraulic Fluid and Hydraulic Oil
The key difference between hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil is that hydraulic fluid is used in automatic transmissions in automobile systems whereas hydraulic oil can not be used for this purpose. Hydraulic oil is the most common form of hydraulic fluids. Therefore, many people tend to use these two terms interchangeably. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]
Difference Between Vinyl and Linoleum
The key difference between vinyl and linoleum is that the vinyl is a product of petroleum oil whereas the linoleum is a product of linseed oil. Further, the vinyl tile is easy to install and maintain while linoleum tile is a bit hard to install and maintan but is water resistant. Vinyl and linoleum are […]
Difference Between Dispersed Phase and Dispersion Medium
The key difference between dispersed phase and dispersion medium is that the dispersed phase is a discontinuous phase whereas the dispersion medium is a continuous medium. A dispersion is a two-component system that consists of dispersed phase and dispersion medium. The dispersed phase has particles that distribute throughout the dispersion medium. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]
Difference Between Uniaxial and Biaxial Crystals
The key difference between uniaxial and biaxial crystals is that uniaxial crystals have a single optic axis whereas biaxial crystals have two optic axes. The optic axis of a crystal is the direction that the light propagates through the crystal without facing double refraction. All the light waves that are parallel to this axis do […]
Difference Between Fluconazole and Itraconazole
The key difference between Fluconazole and Itraconazole is that though both are antifungal medications, fluconazole is not active against Aspergillus whereas Itraconazole is active against Aspergillus. Therefore, itraconazole has a broad range of activity than fluconazole. The trade name of fluconazole is Diflucan, and the trade name of itraconazole is Sporanox. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key […]
Difference Between Sol Solution and Suspension
The key difference between sol solution and suspension is that the particles in a sol have dimensions around 1 nanometer to 1 micrometre and a solution has particles with dimensions below 1 nanometer whereas a suspension has particles with dimensions higher than 1 micrometre. Therefore, the particles in both sol and solution are invisible to […]
Difference Between Imidazole and Triazole
The key difference between imidazole and triazole is that imidazole has non-adjacent nitrogen atoms in its chemical structure whereas triazole has adjacent nitrogen atoms in its chemical structure. Both these compounds are important medicines and have many other applications as well. Some chemical facts about these two compounds are discussed below in this article. CONTENTS […]
Difference Between Addition and Radical Polymerization
The key difference between addition and radical polymerization is that the addition polymerization occurs via the addition of unsaturated monomers whereas the radical polymerization occurs via the addition of free radicals. Polymerization is the process of producing a polymer using a large number of monomers. There are two main types of polymerization processes; they are, […]
