Epoxy composites have been widely used in the national economy as lacquers, adhesives, sealing compositions, compounds, etc. (ref. 1). Along with the epoxy resin and curing agent, the given composites contain fillers, plasticisers, curing accelerators, and pigments. The properties of the composite depend largely on the type of plasticiser used, making it possible to vary the service characteristics of the cured materials in a wide range. Carboxylic acid esters have been widely used as plasticisers. In this context it was of interest to study margaric acid butyl ester produced by the ozonolytic degradation of octadecene-1 in the presence of butanol-1 (ref. 2
