It's a fancy name for fiberglass. It's semi new on the market, so how well it holds up I'm not actually sure. The thing is that solid fiberglass is prone to cracking easily however it paints very well and easily. Polyurathane is very strong however, the price is higher than fiberglass, and is much harder to paint. The theory behind this is stuff is it will give the paint quality of fiberglass along with the cheaper price however is supported with the urathane to prevent cracking.

As I stated, I don't know how good this stuff really is because it's all depends on the ratio of urathane to fiberglass.
