Abstract: Biodegradable polyether esters P1 obtainable by the reaction of a mixture consisting essentially of: (a1) a mixture essentially of 20 to 95 mol% adipic acid or ester-forming derivatives thereof or mixtures thereof, 5 to 80 mol% terephthalic acid or ester-forming derivatives thereof or mixtures thereof, and 0 to 5 mol% of a sulphonate group-containing compounds in which the sum of the individual mol percentages is 100; and (a2) a mixture of dihydroxy compounds consisting essentially of (a21) 15 to 99 mol% of a dihydroxy compound selected from the group consisting of C2-C6 alkane diols and C5-C10 cycloalkane diols; (a22) 85 to 0.2 mol% of an ether function-containing dihydroxy compound as in formula I HO-[(CH2)n-O]m-H in which n is 2, 3 or 4 and m is a whole number from 2 to 250, or mixtures thereof, in which the molar ratio of (a1) to (a2) is in the range from 0.4:1 to 1.5:1 with the proviso that the polyether esters P1 have a molar weight (Mn) in the range from 5,000 to 80,000 g/mol, a viscosity index in the range from 30 to 450 g/ml (measured in o-dichlorobenzole/phenol (weight ratio 50/50) at a concentration of 0.5 wt.% polyether esters P1 at a temperature of 25 DEG C) and a melting point in the range from 50 to 200 DEG C, and with the further proviso that from 0.01 to 5 mol%, in relation to the molar quantity of the components (a1) used, of a compound D with at least three groups capable of ester formation are used to produce the polyether esters P1, and other biodegradable polymers and thermoplastic moulding compounds, process for their production and biodegradable mouldings, adhesives, foams and blends with starch obtainable from the polymers or moulding compounds of the invention.
