1. A stabilizer against hydrolysis for an ester-group-containing resin or a biodegradable plastic, mainly comprising a carbodiimide composition comprising a carbodiimide compound (A) and an antioxidant (B) having 5% weight loss at a temperature not lower than 250° C. as determined by a thermogravimetric (TG) method,
wherein the antioxidant (B) is dispersed and present in the composition by admixing during synthesis of the carbodiimide compound (A).
