Dyes such as metal thiolate dyes and the like can be mentioned. In particular, carbon black can be used in a wide range of particle sizes from 13 to 85 nm, and the smaller the particle size, the higher the sensitivity to infrared laser. These infrared absorbing substances are added within a range that provides sensitivity that can be cut off by the laser beam used. Generally, the addition of 10 to 80% by weight is effective.

First, pellets obtained by previously kneading a binder polymer and carbon black using an extruder or a kneader are further formed directly into a thin film using an extruder and a biaxial stretching device. Alternatively, the pellets may be made into a solution using an appropriate solvent such as toluene, ethyl acetate, or alcohol, and coated on a cover sheet. As a method of dispersing the carbon black in the solution, a method of using both forced stirring by a stirring blade and stirring using ultrasonic waves is effective.

きる。The ultraviolet shielding film goes around the photosensitive resin layer on the sleeve, and the portion where the seam overlaps is removed, so that the ultraviolet shielding film can be made seamless by removing only this portion. The part where the UV-shielding film and the photosensitive resin layer are in contact is tightly adhered due to the adhesiveness of the photosensitive resin layer, while the part where the UV-shielding film overlaps is due to its non-self-adhesiveness. The thin film is in a physically weak state without any support.
Therefore, by stretching with a force greater than the strength of the thin film, the film is torn at the seam boundary, and as a result, a seamless ultraviolet shielding film can be provided on the sleeve.

After the film on the opposite side of the sheet with the slip layer was peeled off, the above-mentioned sleeve was wound around the above-mentioned sleeve with the side from which the film had been removed facing down to 465.15 mm in the circumferential direction without loosening. However, the length of the sheet was slightly shorter than the circumference of the sleeve. After the gap was connected by pulling with an adhesive tape, the area from 5 cm at both ends of the photosensitive resin sheet to the outside of the sleeve was covered with the adhesive tape without any gap.
