A carbodiimide composition having an improved heat resistance which meets
conventional requirements for a carbodiimide compound to be compounded in
an ester-group-containing resin or a biodegradable plastic, and
exhibiting no coloring problems due to yellowing, and having a superior
stabilizing effect agains hydrolysis. The carbodiimide composition
comprises a carbodiimide compound (A) and an antioxidant (B), having a 5%
weight loss temperature not lower than 250.degree. C. as determined by a
thermogravimetric (TG) method, wherein an antioxidant (B) is dispersed
and present in the composition by admixing during synthesis of a
carbodiimide compound (A), a stabilizer against hydrolysis mainly
comprising the carbodiimide composition and a thermoplastic resin
composition containing the same.
