ABSTRACT:
Products intended for use as hand mouldable materials should meet the objectives of not causing pain to the user when held in the hand, and retaining malleability for a sufficient but not excessive length of time.
The invention hand-mouldable compositions comprise selected copolymers of lactones and lactides which manifest a melt temperature T.sub.m in the range of from 48 to 58.degree. C. and a crystallisation temperature T.sub.c in the range of from 16 to 30.degree. C. They are preferably produced from .epsilon. caprolactone and L-lactide, most desirably in a weight ratio of from 94:6 to 91:9, and especially at a reaction temperature in the range of from 150 to 190.degree. C. They are often coloured and can be employed in kits.
