Abstract: A moisture-permeable waterproof fabric includes: a porous moisture-permeable waterproof membrane on at least one surface of a fabric. Polyurethane forming the moisture-permeable waterproof membrane is synthesized using a polyol including a polycarbonate diol having a plant-derived component.

Abstract: A polishing pad is provided with a compression elastic modulus of 0.17 MPa or more and 0.32 MPa or less produced by preparing a nonwoven fabric formed of bundles of ultrafine fibers with an average monofilament diameter of 3.0 ?m or more and 8.0 ?m or less, preparing a polishing pad base by impregnating the nonwoven fabric with a polyurethane based elastomer in an amount of 20 mass % or more and 50 mass % or less relative to the mass of the polishing pad base, and laminating the polishing pad base with a porous polyurethane layer containing wet-solidified polyurethane as primary component which has openings with an average opening diameter of 10 ?m or more and 90 ?m or less in its surface to serve as polishing surface layer.
