Abstract: The following are claimed: (A) biodegradable polyester P1, preparable by reaction of a mixt. comprising: (a1) a mixt. comprising: (a11) 35-95 mol.% of adipic acid and/or one or more ester-forming derivs. of this, (a12) 5-65 mol.% of terephthalic acid and/or one or more ester-forming derivs. of this, and (a13) 0-5 mol.% of a cpd. contg. sulphonate gps., the total of mol.% in (a11)-(a13) being 100 mol.%; and (a2) a dihydroxy cpd. selected from 2-6C alkane-diols and 5-10C cycloalkane-diols. The molar ratio of (a1) to (a2) is 0.4-1.5:1. In addn., 0.01-5 mol.% (based on the molar amt. of component (a1)) of a cpd. D, which comprises at least three gps. capable of forming ester gps., are also used for prodn. of polyester P1. Polyester P1 has (a) a mol.wt. (Mn) of 5000-50000 g/mol; (b) a viscosity no. of 30-350 g/ml (measured in o-dichlorobenzene/phenol (wt. ratio 50/50) at 25 degrees C and a P1 concn. of 0.5 wt.%); and (c) a m.pt. of 50-170 degrees C. (B) biodegradable polyester P2, preparable by reaction of a mixt. comprising: (b1) mixt. comprising: (b11) 20-95 mol.% of adipic acid and/or one or more ester-forming deriv. of this, (b12) 5-80 mol.% of terephthalic acid and/or one or more ester- forming deriv. of this, and (b13) 0-5 mol.% of a cpd. contg. sulphonate gps., the total of mol.% in (b11)-(b13) being 100 mol.%; (b2) a dihydroxy cpd. as (a2) above; (b3) 0.01-100 wt.% (based on the amt. of component (b1) of a hydroxycarboxylic acid B1 which is of formula (Ia) or (Ib); and (b4) 0-5 mol.% (based on the amt. of component (b1)) of a cpd. D. The molar ratio of (b1) to (b2) is 0.4-1.25:1. Polyester P2 has (a) a mol.wt. (Mn) of 5000-80000 g/mol; (b) a viscosity no. of 30 - 450 g/ml (measured in o-dichlorobenzene/phenol (wt. ratio 50/50) at 25 degrees C and a P2 concn. of 0.5 wt.%); and (c) a m.pt. of 50-235 degrees C. p = a whole no. from 1-1500; r = a whole no. from 1-4; G = phenylene, (CH2)k, C(R)H and C(R)HCH2; k = 1-5; R = Me or Et. (C) biodegradable polyester Q1 which have: (a) a mol.wt. (Mn) of 5000-100000 g/mol; (b) a viscosity no. of 30-450 g/ml (measured in o-dichlorobenzene/phenol (wt. ratio 50/50) at 25 degrees C and a Q1 concn. of 0.5 wt.%); and (c) a m.pt. of 50-235 degrees C. Q1 are obtained by reaction of a mixt. comprising; (c1) polyester P1 and/or a polyester PWD; (c2) 0.01-50 wt.% (based on (c1)) of a hydroxycarboxylic acid B1; and (c3) 0-5 mol.% (based on the amt. of component (a1) used in prodn. of P1 and/or PWD) of a cpd. D. Polyester PWD is obtainable by reaction of components (a1) and (a2) in a molar ratio of (a1) to (a2) of 0.4-1.5:1. Polyester PWD have: (a) a mol.wt. (Mn) of 5000 - 50000 g/mol; (b) a viscosity no. of 30 - 350 g/ml (measured in o-dichlorobenzene/phenol (wt. ratio 50/50) at 25 degrees C and a PWD concn. of 0.5 wt.%); and (c) a m.pt. of 50-170 degrees C. (D) biodegradable polyesters Q2 which have: (a) a mol.wt. (Mn) of 6000 - 60000 g/mol; (b) a viscosity no. of 30-350 g/ml (measured in o-dichlorobenzene/phenol (wt. ratio 50/50) at 25 degrees C and a Q2 concn. of 0.5 wt.%); and (c) a m.pt. of 50-170 degrees C. Q2 are obtained by reaction of a mixt. comprising: (d1) 95-99.9 wt.% of polyester P1 and/or PWD; and (d2) 0.1-50 wt.% of a diisocyanate C1; and (d3) 0-5 mol.% (based on the amt. of component (a1) used in prodn. of P1 and/or PWD) of a cpd.
