- (a-2) 0 to 50% by weight, based on the total weigh of components (a-1) and (a-2), of an aliphatic polyamide;
- (B) 0.05 to 10 parts by weight of a polycaprolactone having a number average molecular weight of not smaller than 10,000;
- (C) 0 to 35 parts by weight of a copolymer component consisting essentially of:
- (c-1) 60 to 100% by weight, based on the total weight of components (c-1) and (c-2), of a carboxyl-containing ethylenic copolymer having pendant chains which contain a carboxylic acid group and a carboxylic acid metal salt group, and
- (c-2) 0 to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of components (c-1) and (c-2), of a carboxyl-free hydrocarbon copolymer consisting essentially of carbon and hydrogen atoms;
- (D) 0 to 10 parts by weight of a monomer component consisting essentially of:
- (d-1) 40 to 80% by weight, based on the total weight of components (d-1) and (d-2), of an oxide, a carbonate or a mixture thereof,
- said oxide and said carbonate being represented by the formula: ##STR7## wherein each of R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and X represents ##STR8## an oxygen atom, and (d-2) 20 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of components (d-1) and (d-2), of a polyhydric alcohol compound; and
- (E) 0 to 150 parts by weight of an aromatic polyether.
- 2. The polyamide composition according to claim 1, wherein said polyamide resin (A) consists essentially of:
- (a-1) 70 to 100% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a-1) and (a-2), of a hexamethylene terephthalamide unit-containing polyamide, and
- (a-2) 0 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a-1) and (a-2), of an aliphatic polyamide, and wherein the amount of said aromatic polyether (E) is zero.
- 3. The polyamide composition according to claim 2, wherein said copolymer component (C) is present in an amount of from 3 to 35 parts by weight.
- 4. The polyamide composition according to claim 2, wherein the amount of each of said copolymer component (C) and said monomer component (D) is zero.
- 5. The polyamide composition according to claim 1, wherein the amount of each of said copolymer component (C) and said monomer component (D) is zero and wherein said aromatic polyether (E) is present in an amount of from 5 to 150 parts by weight.
- 6. The polyamide composition according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein said hexamethylene terephthalamide unit-containing polyamide (a-1) contains 20 to 60 mole %, based on the total number of moles of all the monomer units constituting said hexamethylene terephthalamide unit-containing polyamide (a-1), of hexamethylene terephthalamide units.
- 7. The polyamide composition according to claim 1, wherein said polyhydric alcohol compound is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, butanediol, diethylene glycol, glycerin and pentaerythritol.
