Reactive Urethane
A coverstock comprised of similar materials used in urethane formulations, however blended with different additives. This coverstock adheres to lane surface, creating the most backend reaction, the least deflection and the most hitting power of any coverstock manufactured today.
Particle
Relates to coverstocks, particle technology consists of small units of various materials added to the shell. Particle coverstocks provide increased traction in the oil.
Reactive coverstocks are a urethane base with an additive that creates an internal pore structure to absorb lane oil and increase surface tackiness. In general, they retain more energy through oil and release energy stronger in the backend friction. The transition from skid to hook is more angular than standard urethane and particle resin coverstocks, creating more of a skid/snap ball reaction.
Particle resin coverstocks have silica particles mixed within the reactive resin. Particles provide more traction in the oil than reactive balls and will have a smoother backend hook. They are more controllable in the backend friction with a more mild change in direction.
Hope that helped to understand the differences.
