In one embodiment, the polyurethane adhesive or sealant composition comprises in percentages by weight (a) from about 20% to about 75% of a urethane prepolymer; (b) from about 1% to about 66% of a reactive, hydroxyl containing, or a nonreactive polymer formed from ethylenically unsaturated monomers; and (c) from about 20% to about 75% of a thermoplastic resin. In another embodiment, the polyurethane adhesive or sealant composition comprises, in percentages by weight of the polyurethane composition (a) from about 10% to about 90% of a urethane prepolymer; and (b) from about 5% to about 90% of a thermoplastic resin which is an ethylene vinylacetate/ethylene acrylate terpolymer.
