PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject composition having a melting point of 90 deg.C or lower, not corrosive to metals, not toxic and utilizing the latent heat of fusion by compounding erythritol and sugar alcohol in a specific ratio. SOLUTION: This composition comprises (A) 25 to 55wt.% of erythritol and (B) 45 to 75wt.% of a 5C sugar alcohol, preferably xylitol. It has a melting point preferably in a range from 70 to 90 deg.C, and may contain a paraffin, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol or the like, and an additive, e.g., water-insoluble, water-absorptive resin or carboxymethylcellulose. |
