An object of the invention is to provide a polishing pad excellent in durability and in the adhesiveness between a polishing layer and a base material layer. The first invention relates to a polishing pad comprising a polishing layer arranged on a base material layer, wherein the polishing layer comprises a thermosetting polyurethane foam having roughly spherical interconnected cells having an average cell diameter of 20 to 300 μm, the polyurethane foam comprises an isocyanate component and an active hydrogen-containing compound as starting components, and the active hydrogen-containing compound comprises 30 to 85% by weight of a high-molecular-weight polyol having 2 to 4 functional groups and a hydroxyl value of 20 to 100 mg KOH/g. |
