In this work, flexible PVC formulations were prepared using biobased end-capped saturated polyesters (SPs). The SPs were end-capped for the first time with long alkyl chains (both branched (2-tetradecyloctadecan-1-ol, TDOD) and unbranched (octanol, Oc) aiming to increase the compatibility with PVC matrix, free volume and reduce migration. The properties of PVC samples plasticized with the SPs were compared with a PVC sample plasticized with dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP). A significant decrease in theTg(60 °C <ΔTg<80 °C) of PVC plasticized films was observed, and the samples plasticized with the SP end-capped with Oc presented an elongation at break (ε) value very close to the DOTP-plasticized PVC. Migration tests revealed that PVC plasticized with SPs have lower amount of extractables, especially those using Oc end-capped SP. Also, the decrease of thermomechanical properties of the samples plasticized using SPs is almost negligible when compared with the samples plasticized with DOTP. Overall, the results showed that the SP end-capped with Oc is a reliable alternative to DOTP.
