Abstract
Diblock (B-A) and triblock (B-A-B) polydiorganosiloxane-polyurea block copolymers comprise non-functional polydiorganosiloxane endblock B and polyurea block A. When used to provide release coatings, the block copolymers allow for easier release compared to traditional block copolymers of the (AB).sub.n type having comparable amounts of polydiorganosiloxane. Articles incorporating the copolymers as a release material are also disclosed.
