A particulate polyglycolic acid resin composition, comprising: a blend of
a first particulate polyglycolic acid resin and a second particulate
polyglycolic acid resin each having a moisture content of at most 110 ppm
and providing a ratio of melt-viscosity (as measured at 270.degree. C.
and a shear rate of 121 sec.sup.-1; the same as hereinafter) therebetween
of above 1 and at most 10. After the polymerization, the first and second
particulate polyglycolic acid resins can cause change in properties
before the forming (e.g., during storage); or during the forming process.
However, by adequately determining the blending ratio between the resins
while taking the melt-viscosities thereof into account, it becomes
possible to provide a particulate polyglycolic acid resin composition
showing a stable melt-formability and suitable as a starting material for
various forming processes.
