Packaging material for battery

The present invention relates to a packaging material for forming an armor body for a battery, said 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, said packaging material being a laminate comprising at least a substrate layer, an adhesive layer, a barrier layer, an adhesive resin 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.
