A belt with a tensile cord embedded in an elastomeric body, having an adhesive composition impregnating the cord and coating the fibers. The adhesive composition is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and a polyol, or a polyurethane prepolymer derived therefrom, and a polyamine curative and optionally additional polyol, and with optionally added plasticizer. At least one of the polyisocyanate, the prepolymer, and the polyamine are blocked with a blocking agent. The belt body may be of cast polyurethane, vulcanized rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer. The cord may have an adhesive overcoat.

The present invention relates to a melt processable thermoplastic polyurethane-urea composition formed by a continuous bulk process without the presence of solvent using a polyol component, an isocyanate component, and chain extender component comprising a hindered aromatic diamine.

A sheet like article produced from a polyurethane resin has a carbonate group and an oxycarbonyl group as ester groups and has uniform, elegant surface quality, a flexible, highly crease recoverable texture, and high resistance to light and hydrolysis, and also provided is a production method therefore. The sheet like article is produced by adding, as a binder, a polyurethane resin that meets requirements (I) and (II) to a fibrous base material formed mainly of ultrafine fibers: (I) a polyurethane resin such that the polyurethane resin contains, in its interior, an oxycarbonyl group and a carbonate group as ester groups; (II) a polyurethane resin such that the sum of the content of the urethane group and the content of the urea group in the polyurethane resin is 7.0 to 11.0 mass %.
