Abstract
A composition for hot melt adhesive contains a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin (A) and a polycaprolactone (B) and has a reduced melt viscosity and favorable mechanical properties. The poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin (A) may be a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) copolymer. A layered body is produced by heat-melting the composition, applying the heat-melted composition to a first base material and then affixing a surface of the first base material on which the composition has been applied to a second base material, and cooling the composition to adhere the first base material and the second base material together.
