Abstract
Provided is a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) resin tube including a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) resin, the tube having a wall thickness of 0.1 to 0.6 mm. The difference between the melting point peak temperature and the melting point peak end temperature in differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) resin is preferably 10° C. or higher. Preferably, production of the tube includes the step of melting a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) resin in an extruder, then extruding the resin from an annular die, and introducing the resin into water, the annular die temperature being set to a temperature between the melting point peak temperature and the melting point peak end temperature in differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) resin.
