Abstract

Disclosed is a packaging material for forming an armor body for a battery, the armor body being adapted for use in such a manner that a battery body is inserted into the armor body and the peripheral edge of the armor body is then heat sealed for hermetic sealing, the packaging material being a laminate comprising at least a substrate layer, an adhesive layer, a barrier layer, a dry laminate layer, and a sealant layer, characterized in that at least the sealant layer comprises a low-fluidity polypropylene layer having low susceptibility to collapse upon exposure to heat and pressure at the time of heat sealing and a high-fluidity polypropylene layer having high susceptibility to collapse upon exposure to heat and pressure at the time of heat sealing, and the innermost layer is the high-fluidity polypropylene layer. This battery packaging material can impart moisture barrier properties and resistance to contents of the battery.
