A process for the manufacture of pressure-resistance internally textured polyurethane-polyurea particles which comprises forming an organic solvent solution of isocyanate prepolymer which is a reaction product of a stoichiometric excess of an aliphatic, aromatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic di- or polyisocyanate with a diol or polyol, said reaction product having a mean molecular weight of from about 300 to 10,000, said organic solvent solution also containing from 2 to 85% by weight an alkyl and/or alkoxyalkyl acetate of the formula ##STR3## in which m is 0 to 2
- n is 1 to 4 and
- R is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl
- and dispersing said solvent solution as an organic phase at a temperature of 0.degree. to 95.degree. C. in an aqueous phase comprising water, a protective colloid and optionally a surface-active agent to form droplets of said organic phase wherein said isocyanate prepolymer reacts with the water of said aqueous phase to form said polyurethane-polyurea particles.
