This paper reviews a series of new thermoplastic polyurethanes with emphasis on their general and specific physical properties. The useful envi ronmental data are presented also, along with handling, storage, curing, compounding, regrind, and processing procedures Special attention is fo cused on alloys with other polymers, such as PVC and ABS. In addition, the paper contains useful information concerning polyurethane elasto plastics in general.
