Claims
- 1. A plasticizer which is liquid at 25.degree. C., which comprises:
- a polybasic acid, a polyhydric alcohol and a monohydric alcohol or a monobasic acid as a molecular weight controlling agent as its reactive monomer constituents, in a ratio of 1.0 equivalent of said polybasic acid to 0.1 to 3 equivalents of said polyhydric alcohol, wherein the polyhydric alcohol is composed of at least 20% by weight of 1,2-butanediol in an amount which is sufficient to impart plasticizing properties to said plasticizer.
- 2. The plasticizer of claim 1, wherein the polyhydric alcohol reactant is at least one polyhydric alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol and pentaerythritol.
- 3. The plasticizer of claim 1, wherein the polybasic acid is at least one polybasic acid selected from the group consisting of phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, trimellitic acid anhydride, promellitic acid anhydride, glutaric acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid and sebacic acid.
- 4. The plasticizer of claim 1, wherein said polyhydric alcohol contains a polyhydric alcohol other than 1,2-butanediol.
- 5. The plasticizer of claim 1, wherein, when said molecular weight controlling agent is a monohydric alcohol, the amount of said polyhydric alcohol ranges from 0.1 to 1.3 equivalents per equivalent of said polybasic acid.
- 6. The plasticizer of claim 1, wherein, when said molecular weight controlling agent is a monobasic acid, the amount of said polyhydric alcohol ranges from 1 to 3 equivalents per equivalent of said polybasic acid.
