Patent number: 7387837Abstract: The present invention provides a thermoplastic polyurethane composition which comprises an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and/or a polyamide, and a thermoplastic polyurethane, in which the retention of melt tension thereof, when kept in a molten state at 220° C. for 1 hour, determined by the following equation (1), is not less than 10%. Retention of melt tension (%)=[Melt tension after being kept in a molten state/Melt tension before being kept in a molten state]×100??(1) The thermoplastic polyurethane composition of the present invention is excellent in production stability of a molded article, and can provide a molded article excellent in appearance because the progress of gelation thereof is suppressed even in a molten state.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Kuraray Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Yamana, Hiroyuki Ono
