Abstract

To provide a molded product which is excellent in impact resistance, flexibility and bending resistance without impairing the characteristics (heat resistance, mechanical properties, etc.) of a polyaryletherketone, and has little appearance defects, and a resin composition, whereby it is possible to obtain such a molded product. This resin composition comprises a polyaryletherketone and a fluorinated elastomer. The ratio (MFRA/MFRB) of the melt flow rate MFRA of the polyaryletherketone at a temperature of 372° C. under a load of 49 N to the melt flow rate MFRB of the fluorinated elastomer at a temperature of 372° C. under a load of 49 N is from 0.2 to 5.0, and the proportion of the volume of the polyaryletherketone in the total of the volume of the polyaryletherketone and the volume of the fluorinated elastomer is from 60 to 97 vol %.
