A resin composition which is characterized by containing (A) an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer which has an ethylene unit content of from 20% by mole to 60% by mole, (B) a divalent metal hydroxide and (C) a monovalent metal compound, and which is also characterized in that: the content of the divalent metal hydroxide (B) is from 5 ppm to 5,000 ppm; and the mass ratio of the monovalent metal compound (C) in terms of monovalent metal atoms to the divalent metal hydroxide (B) in terms of divalent metal atoms, namely C/B is from 0.025 to 100. Consequently, the present invention provides a resin composition which contains an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, while exhibiting excellent long-run properties during melt molding, and having excellent hue even in melt molding of a long period of time. |
