Group of pellets of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition
An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition pellet group is provided, which is excellent in long-run processability. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition pellet group is a group of pellets of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and a divalent metal salt, wherein not greater than 3% of the pellets have a b*-value of not less than 5 after the pellets are heat-treated at 230° C. for 30 minutes.
1. A group of pellets of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition comprising:
an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer; and
a divalent metal salt;
wherein when the pellets are heat-treated at 230° C. for 30 minutes, not greater than 3% of the pellets have a b*-value of not less than 5, and
wherein the divalent metal salt is present in a proportion of 0.0005 to 0.0008 parts by weight on a metal basis based on 100 parts by weight of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer in the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition.
