     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     This invention relates to a resin composition and packaging materials for photosensitive materials such as photographic photosensitive materials. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     Resin compositions for packaging materials for photographic photosensitive materials are disclosed in Japanese Patent KOKAI Nos. 63-217548 and 1-243050 and the like, resin compositions for films for photographic photosensitive materials are dislclosed in Japanese Patent KOKAI No. 58-132555, and spools for a photographic film are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,796,823. In the above materials, the light-shielding ability was secured by blending a light-shielding material such as carbon black. Then, heretofore, when the light-shielding ability of the films for photographic photosensitive materials was raised, the blending amount of the light-shielding material was increased. However, the increase in the amount of the light-shielding material resulted in an increase in the occurrence of lumps and fish eyes and degradation of physical strength, moldability, heat sealing properties and the like. While, since the size and form of the spool for a photographic film are stipulated by JIS, a great quantity of a light-shielding material was blended in order to secure light-shielding ability at thin portions. As a result, the quantity of the light-shielding material at thick portions was too high. 
     Incidentally, as to the materials which lose their value upon exposure to light, such as photographic photosensitive materials, packaging materials capable of complete shielding from light are used. The packaging materials have various important properties such as resistance to the occurrence of pinholes, sealability, moistureproofness, gas barrier, sufficient physical strength and antistatic ability capable of preventing spark discharge as well as the above light-shielding ability. 
     As conventional packaging materials, there were a packaging material composed of an aluminum foil on both sides of which flexible sheet(s) or LDPE resin film(s) containing carbon black were laminated, and a packaging material laminated with a light-shielding film containing more than 1 wt. % of a light-shielding material and more than 50 wt. % of L-LDPE resin. An example is shown in FIG. 19 which consisted of a polyethylene resin film 21a containing a light-shielding material and an aluminum vacuum-metallized biaxially stretched nylon resin film 22 composed of a biaxially stretched nylon resin film 23 provided with an aluminum vacuum deposited membrane 19 laminated thereto through an adhesive layer 2. However, when-they were used for packaging a roll or sheets of a heavy photographic photosensitive material having sharp edges, pinholes or elongation occurred by the sharp edges. Therefore, in order to secure light-shielding, the packaging bag was made as a double-sheet bag and was accordingly expensive. Another packaging material was composed of an aluminum foil and two light-shielding L-LDPE resin films laminated on both sides of the aluminum foil (Japanese Patent KOKAI No. 60-189438). The packaging material was also used as a double-sheet bag in order to secure the qualities of the packaged materials. The inventor disclosed a packaging material having a double layer-coextruded film such as composed of a L-LDPE resin film and a polypropylene resin film as a packaging material capable of securing the qualities even as a single-sheet bag (U.S. Pat. No. 4,780,357). An example of the packaging material is shown in FIG. 20 which consisted of a light-shielding coextruded double layer film 24a consisting of a HDPE resin film 25a containing a light-shielding material and a L-LDPE resin film 26a containing a light-shielding material and an aluminum vacuum-metallized biaxially stretched nylon resin film 22 laminated thereto through an adhesive layer 2. However, in the case of the above packaging material, light-shielding and moistureproofness could not be secured by the shaking or shock during exportation or long transportation, by rough handling of freight such as by dropping or by being thrown out in courier or air cargo, by the increase of impact force by the space in a carton box or corrugated board box, or the like. That is, in the case that the packaged material was sheets, pinholes and thinning of light-shielding layers occurred by the sharp edges or corners, and in the case that the packaged material was a roll, breakage, pinholes or abrasion occurred by the sharp edges of the roll or the corners of the core. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     An object of the invention is to provide a resin composition capable of fortifying light-shielding ability without increasing light-shielding materials. 
     Another object of the invention is to provide a packaging material for photographic photosensitive materials of which the light-shielding ability is fortified without increasing light-shielding materials. 
     The inventor unexpectedly found that, when vitamin E was added to a resin composition together with a light-shielding material, the light-shielding ability was improved by more than 20% compared with the composition not containing vitamin E. 
     Thus, tile present invention provides a resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin, a light-shielding material and vitamin E, and a packaging material for photographic photosensitive materials comprising a thermoplastic resin, a light-shielding material and vitamin E. 
     Another object of the invention is to provide a packaging material for photosensitive materials capable of securing light-shielding, moistureproofness and other properties resistant to a long period of transportation even in a form of a single-sheet bag. 
     The above objects have been achieved by a packaging material for photosensitive materials which comprises a thermoplastic resin film containing a light-shielding material, a high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film, a low Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film containing a light-shielding material and a high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film superposed in this order. 
     The above object has also been achieved by a packaging material for photosensitive materials which comprises a coextruded multilayer film comprising an intermediate high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin layer and thermoplastic resin layers containing a light-shielding material disposed on both sides thereof, and a high Young&#39;s modulus flexible sheet laminated thereto.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     A resin composition of the invention comprises a thermoplastic resin, a light-shielding material and vitamin E. 
     The thermoplastic resin is selected according to the article to be formed or the like and preferred thermoplastic resins include polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, ethylene-copolymer resins, modified polyolefin resins, polystyrene resin, ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, polyester resin, polyamide resin and polyacetal resin. 
     The content of the thermoplastic resin is 50 to 99.85 wt. %, preferably 70 to 99.5 wt. %. 
     The light-shielding material is added in order to secure light-shielding ability by absorbing or reflecting light. Examples of the light-shielding materials are described below.

     wood flour such as pine, oak and sawdust, husk fibers such as almond, peanut and chaff colored various fibers such as cotton and jute, paper piece, cellophane piece, nylon fibers, polypropylene fibers, starch, aromatic polyamide fibers, etc. 
     Among them, preferred light-shielding materials impart opacity, and light-absorptive carbon black, titanium nitride and graphite are particularly preferred because of being excellent in heat resistance and light resistance and being relatively inactive. 
     Carbon blacks are divided into gas black, oil furnace black, channel black, anthracene black, acetylene black, Ketschen carbon black, thermal black, lamp black, vegetable black and animal black according to their origin. Among these, oil furnace carbon black is preferable in terms of light-shielding character, cost and improvement of properties. On the other hand, since acetylene black and Ketschen carbon black have an antistatic character, they are also preferable, though they are expensive. They may be blended to the oil furnace black in order to improve its character. A particularly preferable carbon black for the packaging material for photographic photosensitive materials is oil furnace carbon black having a pH of 6 to 9, a mean particle size of 10 to 120 mμ, a volatile components content of less than 2% and an oil absorption value of more than 50 ml/100 g in view of no occurrence of fogging, rare occurrence of photosensitivity deviation, great light-shielding ability and rare occurrence of lumps of carbon black and fish eyes. As the form of the light-shielding material, there are powder coloring agent, paste coloring agent, wet coloring agent, masterbatch, dye, colored pellets, etc. Though, there are various blending methods, the masterbatch method is preferred in view of cost and the contamination of the working place. Japanese Patent KOKOKU No. 40-26196 discloses a method of making a masterbatch of polymer-carbon black by dissolving the polymer in an organic solvent and dispersing he carbon black into the solution. Japanese Patent KOKOKU No. 43-10362 discloses another method of making a masterbatch by dispersing the carbon black into polyethylene. 
     Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin which is also known as tocopherol, and includes α-tocopherol, β-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol and δ-tocopherol. The other tocol derivatives having vitamin E activity such as 5,7-dimethyltocol, 7-methyltocol and 5-methyltocol are also included. A suitable content of vitamin E is 0.005 to 1 wt. %, and 0.02 to 0.5 wt. % is preferred. When the content is less than 0.005 wt. %, the blending effect is insufficient. While, when the content is beyond 1 wt. %, a further effect obtained by the blending is small. Moreover, the excess amount affects adversely photographic photosensitive materials. 
     The content of the light-shielding material is 0.01 to 30 wt. %, preferably 0.05 to 15 wt. %.

Moreover, the packaging material may contain a coupling agent such as a silane compound, a titanate compound, a chromium compound or an aluminum compound, and a nucleating agent such as an organic nucleating agent e.g. a dibenzylidenesorbitol compound or an inorganic nucleating agent e.g. calcium carbonate. 
     The packaging material for photosensitive materials of the invention is suitable for packaging the following photosensitive materials. 
     Silver halide photographic photosensitive materials; X-ray films, films for printing, monochrome and color photographic printing papers, color films, master papers for printing, DTR photosensitive materials, films and papers for computerized type-setting system, microfilms, films for movie, self-developing type photographic photosensitive materials, direct positive films and papers, etc. 
     Diazonium photographic photosensitive materials; 4-morpholinobenzene diazonium microfilms, microfilms, copying films, form plates for printing, etc. 
     Azide, diazide photographic photosensitive materials containing parazidobenzoate, 4,4&#39;-diazidostilbene, etc., such as copying films and form plates for printing etc. 
     Quinone diazide photographic photosensitive materials; photosensitive materials containing ortho-quinone diazide compounds or ortho-naphthoquinone diazide compounds, such as benzoquinone-(1,2)-diazido-(2)-4-sulfonic acid phenyl ether, such as form plates for printing, copying films and contact printing film, etc.

     In the packaging material of the invention wherein two high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin films and a low Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film are alternately laminated, the thermoplastic resin film containing a light-shielding material improves antistatic ability, light-shielding ability, antiblocking ability and heat sealing properties. The low Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film containing a light-shielding material improves resistance to the occurrence of pinholes, adhesion of two high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin films, physical strength including tear strength, impact puncture strength and Gelbo test strength, light-shielding and antistatic property. Two high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin films protect the low Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film from the force added from the inside and outside such as shock, vibration and sticking. By the above construction, the packaging material is excellent in various physical strengths conflicting with each other such as tear strength, tensile strength, heat seal strength and bursting strength. Therefore, when sheets or a roll of heavy products are packaged, the packaging material of the invention is not elongated or broken to form a pinhole resulting in secure light-shielding and moistureproofness. 
     Representative embodiments of the above packaging material are illustrated in FIGS. 11 through 14. 
     The packaging material of FIG. 11 is composed of a first high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film 10, a low Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film 11a containing a light-shielding material, a second high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film 12a containing a light-shielding material, and a thermoplastic resin film 13a containing a light-shielding material directly laminated in this order. 
     The packaging material of FIG. 12 is the same as the packaging material of FIG. 11, except that the first high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film 10a contains a light-shielding material. 
     The packaging material of FIG. 13 is composed of the packaging material of FIG. 11 and a flexible sheet 3 laminated to the side of the first high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film 10 through an adhesive layer 2a containing a light-shielding material. 
     The packaging matrial of FIG. 14 is the same as the packaging material of FIG. 13 wherein the packaging material of FIG. 12 is used instead of the packaging material of FIG. 11. 
     In the packaging material of the invention wherein a coextruded multilayer film containing an intermediate high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film is laminated to a high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic flexible sheet, two thermoplastic resin layers containing a light-shielding material improves antistatic ability, light-shielding ability and antiblocking ability, and the thermoplastic resin layer disposed on the heat sealed side improves heat sealing properties. The intermediate high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin film layer and the high Young&#39;s modulus flexible sheet protects the thermoplastic resin layer disposed therebetween from the force added from the inside and outside such as shock, vibration and sticking. By the above construction, the packaging material is excellent in various physical strengths conflicting with each other such as tear strength, tensile strength, heat seal strength and bursting strength. Therefore, when sheets or a roll of heavy products are packaged, the packaging material of the invention is not elongated nor broken to form a pinhole resulting in secure light-shielding and moistureproofness. 
     Representative embodiments of the above packaging material are illustrated in FIGS. 15 through 18. 
     The packaging material of FIG. 15 is composed of the coextruded multilayer film IIIa consisting of a first light-shielding thermoplastic resin layer 14a containing a light-shielding material, the intermediate high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin layer 15a containing a light-shielding material and a second light-shielding thermoplastic resin layer 16a, and a high Young&#39;s modulus flexible sheet 17 of an aluminum metallized biaxially stretched polyester resin film 18 and an aluminum membrane 19 laminated through an adhesive layer 2. 
     The packaging material of FIG. 16 is the same as FIG. 15, except that the coextruded multilayer film IIIa has two intermediate layers of the intermediate high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin layer 15a containing a light-shielding material and the intermediate high Young&#39;s modulus thermoplastic resin layer 15 does not contain a light-shielding material.

     Testing methods were as follows: 
     Light-Shielding Ability: 
     In the case of the packaging films, three-sided fin seal bag was prepared using each film. A color photographic printing paper was inserted therein through the opening in a dark room, and the opening was folded and completely sealed by a cellophane adhesive tape. The bag was exposed to light of 80,000 luxes for 60 minutes, and the light-shielding ability was estimated by the fogging degree of the developed color photographic printing paper. 
     In the case of the spools, a photographic film was wound around each spool, and placed in a photographic film cartridge with a light-shielding teremp cloth. Each cartridge was exposed to light of 80,000 luxes for 60 minutes in the state that the long boss side was positioned on the upper side, and then for 60 minutes in the state that the short boss side was positioned on the upper side. The film was developed, and the light-shielding ability was estimated by the fogging degree of the film. 
     Lumps, Fish Eyes: 
     In the case of the packaging films, the number of lumps and fish eyes of more than 0.3 mm in diameter was estimated by visual inspection in 10 cm×1 m (0.1 m 2 ) of each film. 
     In the case of the spools, the number of lumps in one piece of each spool was estimated by visual inspection. 
     Blocking or Slipping: 
     In the case of the packaging films, each inflation film was wound as the tubular state, and cut in the lateral direction. The blocking was evaluated by the easiness to open the cut portion. 
     In the case of the spools, the resin used for molding each spool was formed in a film by injection molding, and cut into pieces having a size of 35 mm in width×75 mm in length. One piece was stuck on an inclined face, and another piece was stuck on the underside of a metal block weighing 200 g. The metal block was placed on the piece stuck on the inclined face, and the inclined angle was increased. The value was evaluated by the angle where the block began to slip. Less angle is superior. 
     Frictional Electrification: 
     An endless belt of each packaging film 35 mm in width and 1350 mm in length was prepared, and this belt was run between two SUS rollers loaded with 500 g at a speed of 12 m/min. The frictional electrification was measured by a voltmeter, and evaluated. 
     Winding Torque: 
     Measured according to the procedure disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,796,823. A 35 mm photographic film cartridge containing 36 exposures film (&#34;FUJI COLOR HR-100&#34;) was loaded in a camera, and an end of the film was drawn out of the camera through the slot provided on the opposite corner of the camera. This film was passed though nip rolls. A motor was connected to one nip roll through a torque pick up (&#34;TDM-3S&#34;, manufactured by DENSI KOGYO K.K.). The motor was driven at a constant speed, and the film was drawn out to the end at a speed of 40 mm/sec. The winding torque value was evaluated by the torque pick up, and coverted into tension.

     Evaluations in Table 3 were the same as Table 2. 
     Testing methods were as follows: 
     Film Moldability I: 
     Judged by the degree of the white powder and agglomerates thereof adhered to the guide rollers and wound film and the degree of the occurrence of pressure marks by visual observation, when each film was molded using an inflation film molding machine with a die having a clearance of 1 mm at a blow-up ratio of 1.5. 
     Film Moldability II: 
     Judged by motor load (electric current value), bubble stability, generation of melt fracture, fish eyes and lumps, collectively. 
     Curling I: 
     Each packaging material was cut into a circular test piece having a diameter of 10 cm, and allowed to stand under a flat plate weighing 1 kg in an atmosphere at 20° C. at 65% RH for 24 hours. Then, the test piece was allowed to stand under the same atmosphere under no load, and the curling state after 24 hours was evaluated. 
     Tear Strength: 
     According to JIS P-8116 
     Young&#39;s Modulus: 
     According to ISO R1184-1970 
     Heat Seal Strength: 
     The same as in Table 2 
     Tensile Strength: 
     According to JIS P-8113 
     Heat Sealing Properties: 
     The same as in Table 2 
     Light-shielding Ability: 
     Each packaging material was scraped three times with an edge of color photographic printing paper, and evaluated in the same method as in Table 2. 
     Curling II: 
     A square test piece of each packaging material having a width of 1 m was hung down, and the curling state was evaluated. 
     Bag-Making Ability: 
     The same as in Table 2
