[0084] The melting points of Sample Nos. B1 to B13 were measured in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0085] The supercooling degree was measured as follows.

[0086] (Measurement of Supercooling Degree)

[0087] The supercooling temperature was measured by means of the surface temperature change of a sample in a thermostatic chamber provided with a temperature measuring resistor. The supercooling degree was calculated by subtracting the supercooling temperature from the melting point.

[0088] The results are shown in Table 2 and FIG. 2.

[0089] (Preparation of Heat Storage Material Composition)

[0090] First, the main agent mixture of Example 2 (Sample No. A14) was prepared. Strontium hydroxide Sr(OH).sub.2 (manufactured by FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) was prepared as the supercooling inhibitor. Next, 100 parts by mass of the main agent mixture of A14, Sr(OH).sub.2, and as necessary a supercooling inhibitory additive were mixed in the amounts shown in Table 3, and the heat storage material composition was prepared (Sample No. C1 to C23).

[0101] The melting point and supercooling degree of Sample Nos. C1 to C23 were measured in the same manner as in Example 24. The results arc shown in Table 3 and FIG. 3.

[0102] From Table 2, when I% of strontium hydroxide octahydrate Sr(OH).sub.2.8H.sub.2O was added to the heat storage material composition, the supercooling degree was found to be 2.1° C. When each of the additives and strontium hydroxide octahydrate were combined and added to the heat storage material composition, the supercooling degree was found to be 0.9 to 1.9° C. In particular. when 0.5% of octadecane and 1.0 parts by mass of strontium hydroxide octahydrate were added to the heat storage material composition in combination, the supercooling degree was found to be 0.9 to 1.9° C.

[0103] From Table 3, when 1% of strontium hydroxide Sr(OH).sub.2 was added to the heat storage material composition, the supercooling degree was found to be 2.5° C. When each of the additives and strontium hydroxide were combined and added to the heat storage material composition, the supercooling degree was found to be 1 to 3.9° C.
