【0001】
本発明は、ポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板、およびそれを用いた缶に関する。より詳細には、成形性、耐食性、および内容物のフレーバー性(風味の不変性)に優れた、特に飲料缶に適用するポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板、およびそれに深絞り加工等を施してなる缶に関する。
【背景技術】
【0002】
近年、ポリエステル樹脂を2軸方向に延伸した配向フィルムを金属板に被覆し、絞り比や缶側壁部の減厚率が高い薄肉化絞り加工等の厳しい成形加工方法を用いて製缶した缶が、主に飲料缶の用途で用いられている。この2軸配向ポリエステルフィルム被覆金属板を薄肉化絞り加工すると、金属板表面に被覆された樹脂フィルムが変形量の大きい加工に完全に対応できず、フィルムに微小なクラックが生じて耐食性が劣化したり、加工時にフィルムが割れて破胴し、製缶が不可能になることがあり、さらに絞り比や減厚率を高めて缶のコストダウンを図ることが極めて困難になっている。ポリエステルフィルムの2軸配向を低下もしくは無配向化させると成形加工性は向上するが、樹脂の結晶性が低下するために樹脂フィルムの水や酸素に耐する耐透過性が減少し、製缶した缶に内容物を充填して長期間経時させた場合の耐食性および内容物のフレーバー性が不良となる。
本発明は、薄肉化絞り加工のような厳しい成形加工を施してもクラックが生じたり割れたりすることがなく、加工性および耐食性に優れたポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板、およびそれを用いた内容物のフレーバー性に優れた缶を提供することを目的とする。
【発明の開示】

【0004】
本発明は、固有粘度が0.6〜1.4であり半結晶化時間が50秒以上である単層のポリエステル樹脂、または上層が半結晶化時間が80秒未満、下層が半結晶化時間が50秒以上であり、両層の固有粘度が0.6〜1.4である2層のポリエステル樹脂を金属板の少なくとも片面に被覆したポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板であり、薄肉化絞り加工のような厳しい成形加工を施しても樹脂にクラックが生じたり割れたりすることがなく、優れた加工性および耐食性を示す。また本発明のポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板を用いた缶は、内容物のフレーバー性に優れている。
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
まず、本発明に適用するポリエステル樹脂について説明する。ポリエステル樹脂としては、エチレンテレフタレート、エチレンイソフタレート、ブチレンテレフタレート、ブチレンイソフタレートなどのエステル単位を有するものが好ましく、さらにこれらの中から選択される少なくとも1種類のエステル単位を主体とするポリエステルであることが好ましい。このとき、各エステル単位は共重合されていてもよく、さらには2種類以上の各エステル単位のホモポリマーまたは共重合ポリマーをブレンドして用いてもよい。上記以外のもので、エステル単位の酸成分として、ナフタレンジカルボン酸、アジピン酸、セバシン酸、トリメリット酸などを用いたものなど、またエステル単位のアルコール成分として、プロピレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、ネオペンチルグリコール、シクロヘキサンジメタノール、ペンタエチスリトールなどを用いたものを用いてもよい。
本発明においては後記するように無配向のポリエステル樹脂を用いることを前提としており、ポリエステル樹脂を金属板に被覆する作業において樹脂が切れたり、ポリエステル樹脂を被覆した金属板に薄肉化絞り加工のような厳しい成形加工を施しても樹脂が削れたり疵付いたりすることがなく、またクラックが生じたり割れたり、さらに剥離することがないようにするため、樹脂の固有粘度を高め、樹脂を強化させる必要がある。このため、上記のポリエステル樹脂の固有粘度を0.6〜1.4の範囲とすることが好ましく、0.8〜1.2の範囲とすることがより好ましい。固有粘度が0.6未満のポリエステル樹脂を用いた場合は樹脂の強度が極端に低下し、本発明の目的とする、薄肉化絞り加工缶に適用できない。一方、樹脂の固有粘度が1.4を超えると樹脂を加熱溶融させた際の溶融粘度が極端に高くなり、ポリエステル樹脂を金属板に被覆する作業が極めて困難になる。
また、上記のポリエステル樹脂を単層で金属板に被覆する場合は、示差走査熱分析装置(DSC)を用いて測定したポリエステル樹脂の半結晶化時間が50秒以上であることが好ましい。本発明でいう半結晶化時間は、以下のように定義する。すなわち、ポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板から剥離した一定重量のポリエステル樹脂を示差走査熱分析装置(DSC)を用いて90℃/分の昇温速度でポリエステル樹脂の融解温度以上の290℃まで加熱し溶融させ3分間保持した後、200℃/分の冷却速度で30℃まで急冷し、樹脂を非晶質化させる。このようにして得られた非晶質化した樹脂をDSCを用いて再び90℃/分の昇温速度で樹脂が結晶化する160℃まで加熱し、20分間保持して結晶化させる。この時160℃で保持開始から吸熱量を連続的に測定すると、図1に示すように一定時間経過後に吸熱ピークの最低部が出現する。本発明においては160℃で保持開始してから吸熱ピークの最低部が出現するまでの時間(図1におけるTH)を半結晶化時間として定義する。
この半結晶化時間が短いほど樹脂の結晶性が高く、半結晶化時間が長いほど樹脂の結晶性が低いことを表す。
ポリエステル樹脂を単層で金属板に被覆する場合、半結晶化時間が50秒未満の結晶性の高いポリエステル樹脂を用いると金属板との密着性に乏しく、薄肉化絞り加工のような厳しい加工を施すと樹脂が金属板から剥離しやすく、また樹脂層の割れやクラックも発生しやすく、好ましくない。
また本発明においては、上記のポリエステル樹脂を2層とした樹脂、すなわち上層が半結晶化時間が80秒未満であるポリエステル樹脂、下層が半結晶化時間が50秒以上であるポリエステル樹脂である2層のポリエステル樹脂を金属板に被覆してもよい。この2層のポリエステル樹脂を用いる場合、下層のポリエステル樹脂は金属板との密着性、特に加工時の密着性を確保するために、結晶性の低い半結晶化時間が50秒以上であるポリエステル樹脂を用いることが好ましい。
一方、上層のポリエステル樹脂は内容物の耐透過性を向上させて耐食性を確保し、同時にフレーバー性を良好に確保するために、結晶性の高い半結晶化時間が80秒未満であるポリエステル樹脂を用いることが好ましく、さらにこの2層のポリエステル樹脂をより効果的に用いるためには、上層の半結晶化時間が下層の半結晶化時間より短いことが好ましい。
本発明に用いる上記のポリエステル樹脂は、薄肉化絞り加工のような厳しい加工を樹脂のクラック、割れ、および剥離等を生じることなく実施可能とするため、いずれも成加工形性に優れた無配向の状態で使用する。
金属板に被覆する際の上記のポリエステル樹脂の厚さは、単層で被覆する場合は、5〜60μmであることが好ましく、10〜40μmであることがより好ましい。厚さが5μm未満の場合は樹脂を金属板に被覆する作業が著しく困難となり、また薄肉化絞り加工を施した後の樹脂層に欠陥が生じやすく、耐透過性も十分ではない。一方、厚さを増加させると耐透過性は十分となるが、60μm以上に厚くすることは経済的に不利となる。上下2層の樹脂を被覆する場合、上層の樹脂の厚さは2〜57μm、下層の樹脂の厚さは3〜58μmであることが好ましい。上層の樹脂の厚さが極端に薄い場合は内容物によっては耐透過性およびフレーバー性が十分ではなくなることがあり、一方、下層の樹脂の厚さが極端に薄い場合は加工密着性が不十分となる。
上記樹脂中に、必要な特性を損なわない範囲で安定剤、酸化防止剤、シリカなどの滑剤を含有させても差し支えない。
本発明のポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板の基板となる金属板としては、通常の缶用素材として広範に使用されているぶりきや電解クロム酸処理鋼板(ティンフリースチール、以下TFSで示す)などの各種表面処理鋼板、およびアルミニウム合金板を使用することができる。表面処理鋼板としては10〜200mg/mの皮膜量の金属クロムからなる下層と、クロム換算で1〜30mg/mの皮膜量のクロム水和酸化物からなる上層とからなる2層皮膜を鋼板上に形成させたティンフリースチールが好ましく、本発明のポリエステル樹脂との十分な密着性を有し、さらに耐食性も兼ね備えている。ブリキとしては、鋼板表面に錫を0.1〜11.2g/mのめっき量でめっきし、その上にクロム換算で1〜30mg/mの皮膜量の金属クロムとクロム水和酸化物からなる2層皮膜を形成させたもの、またはクロム水和酸化物のみからなる単層皮膜を形成させたものが好ましい。いずれの場合も基板となる鋼板は缶用素材として一般的に使用されている低炭素冷延鋼板であることが好ましい。鋼板の板厚0.1〜0.32mmであることが好ましい。アルミニウム合金板に関しては、JISの3000系、または5000系のものが好ましく、表面に電解クロム酸処理により、0〜200mg/mの皮膜量の金属クロムからなる下層と、クロム換算で1〜30mg/mの皮膜量のクロム水和酸化物からなる上層とからなる2層皮膜を形成させたものか、またはリン酸クロメート処理によりクロム換算で1〜30mg/mのクロム成分と、リン換算で0〜30mg/mのリン成分が付着しているものが好ましい。アルミニウム合金板の板厚は0.15〜0.4mmであることが好ましい。
本発明のポリエステル樹脂を金属板に被覆する方法としては、公知のフィルム積層法、押出積層法のいずれも適用可能である。
フィルム積層法で被覆する場合は、樹脂ペレットを樹脂の融解温度より20〜40℃高い温度で加熱溶融し、Tダイから冷却したキャストロール上にキャストし、延伸せずにコイラーに卷き取り、無配向樹脂フィルムを作製する。一方、長尺帯状の金属板をアンコイラーから解き戻しながら樹脂の融解温度より20〜40℃高い温度で加熱し、この加熱金属板に無配向樹脂フィルムを解き戻しながら当接し、1対のラミネートロールで挟み付けて圧着した後、結晶化を防止するため直ちに水中に急冷する。
押出積層法で被覆する場合は、樹脂ペレットを樹脂の融解温度より20〜40℃高い温度で加熱溶融し、アンコイラーから解き戻される長尺帯状の金属板上にTダイから直接キャストした後、結晶化を防止するため直ちに水中に急冷する。
また、ポリエステル樹脂と金属板の間に接着剤を介在させて積層してもよい。この積層方法は、フィルム積層法において金属板のめっき層が溶解するため、金属板の温度をあまり高温とすることができないぶりきなどを使用した場合に適用される。本発明において接着剤の種類は特に規定するものではないが、エポキシ/フェノール系接着剤、エポキシ/ユリア系接着剤、ウレタン系接着剤などの接着剤が好適に使用できる。
さらに、本発明のポリエステル樹脂被覆金属板は、上記のように金属板の片面に本発明のポリエステル樹脂を被覆し、他の片面に樹脂を被覆しなくてもよいし、あるいは他の片面に本発明以外の樹脂、例えば2軸配向ポリエステル樹脂フィルム、本発明以外の無配向ポリエステル樹脂、ポリエステル以外のポリアミドやポリオレフィンなど、またはこれらの樹脂を着色した樹脂を同時に、または片面ずつ被覆してもよい。さらにまたは各種の樹脂塗料を塗装してもよい。

The present invention relates to a polyester resin-coated metal plate and a can using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyester resin-coated metal plate that is excellent in moldability, corrosion resistance, and flavorability (flavor invariance) of the contents, particularly applied to beverage cans, and a can that has been deep-drawn. .
[Background]
[0002]
In recent years, a can made by using a strict molding method such as a thinning drawing process in which an oriented film obtained by stretching a polyester resin in a biaxial direction is coated on a metal plate and the drawing ratio and the reduction rate of the side wall of the can are high. , Mainly used in beverage can applications. If this biaxially oriented polyester film-coated metal plate is thinned and drawn, the resin film coated on the surface of the metal plate cannot be completely adapted to processing with a large amount of deformation, resulting in minute cracks in the film and deterioration of corrosion resistance. In some cases, the film breaks and breaks during processing, making it impossible to make cans, and it is extremely difficult to reduce the cost of cans by further increasing the drawing ratio and thickness reduction rate. When the biaxial orientation of the polyester film is reduced or non-oriented, the molding processability is improved. Corrosion resistance and flavor properties of the contents are poor when the can is filled with the contents and aged for a long time.
The present invention provides a polyester resin-coated metal plate excellent in workability and corrosion resistance without cracking or cracking even when subjected to severe forming processing such as thinning drawing processing, and contents using the same. It aims at providing the can excellent in flavor property.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0003]
(1) The polyester resin-coated metal plate of the present invention is a polyester resin-coated metal plate formed by coating at least one surface of a metal plate with two layers of polyester resin having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.6 to 1.4,
The two layers of polyester resin are:
When measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC),
The resin used as the upper layer has a semi-crystallization time of less than 80 seconds,
The resin used as the lower layer has a semi-crystallization time of 50 seconds or more,
And the half crystallization time of the upper layer resin is shorter than the half crystallization time of the lower layer resin ,
It is a two-layer film formed by selecting a resin satisfying the above condition and laminating it vertically .
(2) The polyester resin-coated metal plate of the present invention is characterized in that in (1), the polyester resin is non-oriented.
(3) The polyester resin-coated metal plate of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above (1) or (2), the metal plate is any one of a tin-plated steel plate, tin-free steel, and an aluminum alloy plate.
(4) The can using the polyester resin-coated metal plate of the present invention is characterized by using the polyester resin-coated metal plate of any one of (1) to (3).
[0004]
The present invention provides a single layer polyester resin having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.6 to 1.4 and a half crystallization time of 50 seconds or more, or an upper layer having a half crystallization time of less than 80 seconds and a lower layer having a half crystallization time. Is a polyester resin-coated metal plate in which two layers of polyester resin having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.6 to 1.4 are coated on at least one side of the metal plate, and the thickness is reduced by drawing. Even if severe molding processing is performed, the resin does not crack or break, and exhibits excellent workability and corrosion resistance. Moreover, the can using the polyester resin-coated metal plate of the present invention is excellent in the flavor property of the contents.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
First, the polyester resin applied to the present invention will be described. The polyester resin preferably has an ester unit such as ethylene terephthalate, ethylene isophthalate, butylene terephthalate, butylene isophthalate, and is a polyester mainly composed of at least one ester unit selected from these. Is preferred. At this time, each ester unit may be copolymerized, and further, a homopolymer or copolymer of two or more types of ester units may be blended and used. Other than the above, as the acid component of the ester unit, such as those using naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, trimellitic acid, etc., and as the alcohol component of the ester unit, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, You may use what used cyclohexane dimethanol, pentaethysitol, etc.
In the present invention, as will be described later, it is assumed that a non-oriented polyester resin is used, and the resin is cut in the operation of coating the polyester resin on the metal plate, or the metal plate coated with the polyester resin is thinned and drawn. In order to prevent the resin from being scraped or wrinkled even when subjected to strict molding processes, and to prevent cracking, cracking, and further peeling, the inherent viscosity of the resin is increased and the resin is reinforced. There is a need. For this reason, it is preferable to make the intrinsic viscosity of said polyester resin into the range of 0.6-1.4, and it is more preferable to set it as the range of 0.8-1.2. When a polyester resin having an intrinsic viscosity of less than 0.6 is used, the strength of the resin is extremely reduced, and the polyester resin cannot be applied to a thinned drawn can that is an object of the present invention. On the other hand, when the intrinsic viscosity of the resin exceeds 1.4, the melt viscosity when the resin is heated and melted becomes extremely high, and the operation of coating the polyester resin on the metal plate becomes extremely difficult.
Moreover, when coating said polyester resin on a metal plate with a single layer, it is preferable that the half crystallization time of the polyester resin measured using the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) is 50 seconds or more. The half crystallization time referred to in the present invention is defined as follows. That is, a certain weight of the polyester resin peeled from the polyester resin-coated metal plate is heated and melted to 290 ° C. above the melting temperature of the polyester resin at a rate of 90 ° C./min using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). After maintaining for 3 minutes, the resin is rapidly cooled to 30 ° C. at a cooling rate of 200 ° C./min to make the resin amorphous. The amorphous resin thus obtained is heated again to 160 ° C. at which the resin crystallizes at a rate of temperature increase of 90 ° C./min using DSC, and kept for 20 minutes for crystallization. At this time, when the endothermic amount is continuously measured at 160 ° C. from the start of holding, the end portion of the endothermic peak appears after a certain period of time as shown in FIG. In the present invention, the time from the start of holding at 160 ° C. to the appearance of the lowest endothermic peak (TH in FIG. 1) is defined as the half-crystallization time.
The shorter the half crystallization time, the higher the crystallinity of the resin, and the longer the half crystallization time, the lower the crystallinity of the resin.
When coating a metal plate with a single layer of polyester resin, if a highly crystalline polyester resin with a semi-crystallization time of less than 50 seconds is used, the adhesion to the metal plate is poor and severe processing such as thinning drawing is required. If applied, the resin is easy to peel off from the metal plate, and cracking and cracking of the resin layer are likely to occur, which is not preferable.
In the present invention, the polyester resin is a resin having two layers, that is, the upper layer is a polyester resin having a half crystallization time of less than 80 seconds, and the lower layer is a polyester resin having a half crystallization time of 50 seconds or more. A layer of polyester resin may be coated on the metal plate. When this two-layer polyester resin is used, the lower layer polyester resin has a low crystallinity and a semi-crystallization time of 50 seconds or more in order to ensure adhesion to the metal plate, particularly adhesion during processing. Is preferably used.
On the other hand, the upper layer polyester resin improves the permeation resistance of the contents to ensure corrosion resistance, and at the same time, in order to ensure good flavor properties, a polyester resin having a high crystallinity and a semi-crystallization time of less than 80 seconds is used. In order to use the two-layer polyester resin more effectively, it is preferable that the upper half-crystallization time is shorter than the lower half-crystallization time.
The above-mentioned polyester resin used in the present invention can be subjected to severe processing such as thinning drawing processing without causing cracking, cracking, peeling, etc. of the resin. Use in the state.
The thickness of the above-mentioned polyester resin when coated on a metal plate is preferably 5 to 60 μm, more preferably 10 to 40 μm when coated with a single layer. When the thickness is less than 5 μm, it becomes extremely difficult to coat the resin on the metal plate, and the resin layer after the thinning drawing process is likely to be defective, and the permeation resistance is not sufficient. On the other hand, when the thickness is increased, the permeation resistance is sufficient, but it is economically disadvantageous to increase the thickness to 60 μm or more. When coating the upper and lower two layers of resin, the thickness of the upper layer resin is preferably 2 to 57 μm, and the thickness of the lower layer resin is preferably 3 to 58 μm. When the upper layer resin is extremely thin, the permeation resistance and flavor may not be sufficient depending on the contents. On the other hand, when the lower layer resin is extremely thin, the work adhesion is insufficient. It becomes.
The resin may contain a lubricant such as a stabilizer, an antioxidant and silica as long as necessary properties are not impaired.
The metal plate used as the substrate of the polyester resin-coated metal plate of the present invention includes various types such as tinplate and electrolytic chromic acid-treated steel plates (tin free steel, hereinafter referred to as TFS) widely used as ordinary can materials. Surface-treated steel plates and aluminum alloy plates can be used. As a surface-treated steel sheet, a two- layer coating composed of a lower layer made of chromium metal with a coating amount of 10 to 200 mg / m 2 and an upper layer made of chromium hydrated oxide with a coating amount of 1 to 30 mg / m 2 in terms of chromium. Tin-free steel formed on a steel plate is preferable, has sufficient adhesion with the polyester resin of the present invention, and also has corrosion resistance. The tin and tin on the surface of the steel sheet plated with a plating amount of 0.1~11.2g / m 2, coating weight of metallic chromium and hydrated chromium oxide of 1 to 30 mg / m 2 in terms of chromium thereon A film formed with a two-layer film made of or a film formed with a single-layer film made only of chromium hydrated oxide is preferable. In any case, the steel plate used as the substrate is preferably a low carbon cold-rolled steel plate generally used as a can material. It is preferable that the thickness of the steel sheet is 0.1 to 0.32 mm. The aluminum alloy plate is preferably JIS 3000 or 5000, and the surface is formed by electrochromic acid treatment with a lower layer of metal chromium having a coating amount of 0 to 200 mg / m 2 and 1 to 30 mg in terms of chromium. Either a two-layer coating consisting of an upper layer made of chromium hydrated oxide with a coating amount of / m 2 or a chromium component of 1 to 30 mg / m 2 in terms of chromium and phosphorous conversion by phosphoric acid chromate treatment It is preferable that 0 to 30 mg / m 2 of phosphorus component is attached. The thickness of the aluminum alloy plate is preferably 0.15 to 0.4 mm.
As a method for coating the metal plate with the polyester resin of the present invention, any of a known film laminating method and extrusion laminating method can be applied.
When coating by the film lamination method, the resin pellets are heated and melted at a temperature 20 to 40 ° C. higher than the melting temperature of the resin, cast on a cast roll cooled from a T-die, and wound on a coiler without stretching. A non-oriented resin film is produced. On the other hand, a long strip-shaped metal plate is heated at a temperature 20 to 40 ° C. higher than the melting temperature of the resin while being unwound from the uncoiler, and is brought into contact with the heated metal plate while unwinding the non-oriented resin film. After being sandwiched with and crimped, immediately cooled in water to prevent crystallization.
When coating by extrusion laminating method, the resin pellets are heated and melted at a temperature 20 to 40 ° C. higher than the melting temperature of the resin, cast directly from a T-die on a long strip-shaped metal plate unwound from the uncoiler, and then crystallized. Immediately cool in water to prevent oxidization.
Moreover, you may laminate | stack by interposing an adhesive agent between a polyester resin and a metal plate. This laminating method is applied in the case of using tinplate that cannot make the temperature of the metal plate so high because the plating layer of the metal plate dissolves in the film laminating method. In the present invention, the type of the adhesive is not particularly defined, but an adhesive such as an epoxy / phenol adhesive, an epoxy / urea adhesive, and a urethane adhesive can be preferably used.
Furthermore, as described above, the polyester resin-coated metal plate of the present invention may be coated with the polyester resin of the present invention on one side of the metal plate and may not be coated with the resin on the other side, or may be coated on the other side. A resin other than the invention, for example, a biaxially oriented polyester resin film, a non-oriented polyester resin other than the present invention, a polyamide or polyolefin other than polyester, or a resin colored with these resins may be coated simultaneously or one side at a time. Further or various resin paints may be applied.

The non-oriented film of any polyester resin shown in Table 1 on one side of any of the above metal plates and the non-oriented film of white resin on the other side were laminated using the apparatus shown in FIG. The temperature of the metal plate immediately before contacting with the pair of laminate rolls 8 was about 30 ° C. higher than Tm of the polyester resin in the case of TFS and aluminum alloy plate, and 200 ° C. in the case of tinting. In the case of laminating with a tinplate, an epoxy / phenolic adhesive with a thickness of 1.0 μm is applied in advance to one side of a non-oriented film of a polyester resin and a white resin and dried and solidified. In this way, lamination was performed. After laminating at a laminating speed of 150 m / min, it was immediately quenched into water to prevent the progress of crystallization and then dried.
In this way, a polyester resin-coated metal plate was prepared by laminating a polyester resin on one side and a white resin on the other side.
