Tall oil fatty acid esters prepared as intermediates in an epoxy ester plasticizer program were similarly evaluated as low‐temp plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride resins. Performance characteristics as primary and secondary plasticizers in polyvinyl sheeting and extruded tapes were determined on esters from methyl to heptadecyl tallate. Results indicate that these materials impart low‐temp properties which would make them of value as low‐cost plasticizers in extruded and molded products where light and heat stability are not primary factors.
