[0007]

However, in the case where the metal material is previously coated with an organic coating, the organic coating is easily damaged by a tool in the drawing process, and the damaged portion of such coating may be obvious or damaged. This may result in potential metal exposure and metal elution and corrosion from this area. Also, in the production of seamless cans, plastic flow occurs in which the size increases in the height direction of the can and the size decreases in the circumferential direction of the can. During this plastic flow, the metal surface and the organic coating are separated. There is also a tendency that the adhesive strength of the both decreases with time due to the residual strain in the organic coating as well as the adhesive strength decreases, and such a tendency is caused by hot filling the contents for canning or at low or high temperatures for canning. This is especially noticeable when heat sterilization is performed with.

A squeeze can produced from a laminate of polyester mainly composed of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) units, which has been proposed in the prior art, has a metal base when a crystallinity is suppressed to a low level. Good adhesion and good workability, but the barrier properties of the film layer against corrosive components are on the order of about 1/2 that of polyethylene terephthalate / isophthalate (PET / I), and the film sticks to tools. However, there is also a problem in heat resistance of the container.

On the other hand, polyethylene terephthalate (PE
T) and PET / I film laminated cans made of a laminated material have excellent barrier properties against corrosive components and are reasonably processable. If it is used, there is a problem that the impact resistance of the can coating film, particularly the dent resistance, is significantly reduced.

In this specification, dent resistance means
When the container is hit or impacted to cause dents,
It is a test whether the coating of the container can withstand breakage or peeling, and is a very important test for evaluating the practical durability of canned goods.

Further, the proposal of using a polyester layer in multiple layers is intended to eliminate the drawback of using a polyester single layer by using multiple layers, but a combination of conventionally proposed multilayer polyesters is used. However, there is still a problem with the moldability of deep-drawing containers, and there is a problem with the impact resistance over time when used as a drawn container, especially with respect to dent resistance. It wasn't profitable.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is a polyester which is excellent in impact resistance with time, particularly dent resistance, and is excellent in storage stability of contents, that is, flavor retention, barrier property against corrosive components and the like. Disclosed is a draw-formed container made of a film laminate material, and a laminate material and a film used for the production thereof.

[0013]

According to the present invention, in a squeezing container obtained by drawing a laminated material in which a resin film is laminated on a metal plate into a cup with a bottom, the surface layer of the resin film is ethylene terephthalate. Polyester or copolyester having a glass transition point (Tg) of 70 ° C. or higher or a composition thereof, and the layer on the side in contact with the metal is mainly polyester or copolyester mainly containing butylene terephthalate and ethylene terephthalate It has a multilayer structure composed of a polyester composition containing polyester or copolyester as an essential component and having a glass transition point (Tg) of 30 to 60 ° C.
Further, the resin film surface layer in the state of the container is 0.04 to 0.
The birefringence method orientation degree of 19 (Δn), where “Equation 1” Δn = n ₁ −n ₂ n ₁ is the refractive index in the container axial direction of the film at the top of the can, and at the bottom of the can, within the film surface. A laminated squeeze container excellent in impact resistance and flavor retention is provided, which has a refractive index in the maximum orientation direction and n ₂ is a refractive index in the film thickness direction.

According to the present invention, a layer (I) mainly composed of ethylene terephthalate and having a glass transition point (Tg) of 70 ° C. or more and a polyester (copolyester) or a composition thereof is mainly composed of butylene terephthalate. A layer (II) comprising a polyester composition containing a polyester or copolyester and an ethylene terephthalate-based polyester or copolyester as essential components and having a glass transition point (Tg) of 30 to 65 ° C.
There is provided a laminated film comprising: and a laminated material formed by laminating the laminated film so that the layer (I) is located on the front side and the layer (II) is located on the metal side.

In the present invention, the surface layer of the resin film contains 99: 1 to 8 terephthalic acid units and isophthalic acid units.
It is preferably a copolyester or polyester composition containing a weight ratio of 0:20. The layer on the metal side of the resin film is (A) a copolyester mainly composed of terephthalate units and containing ester units derived from at least one dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of isophthalic acid and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. And (B)
A copolyester containing polybutylene terephthalate or a butylene terephthalate unit as a main component and containing an ester unit derived from at least one dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of isophthalic acid and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, 80:20 to 40: It is preferably composed of a composition containing 60 by weight.

[0016]

The laminated squeezing container of the present invention has a multi-layer structure comprising a surface layer (I) of polyester, copolyester or a polyester composition thereof on the surface side and a layer (II) of the polyester composition on the metal side (inside). But with inner layer (II)
Has a glass transition point (Tg) of 30 to 65 ° C., especially 40 to 60 ° C., while the surface layer (I) has a remarkable feature that it has a glass transition point (Tg) of 70 ° C. or higher.

According to the studies conducted by the present inventors, the glass transition point (Tg) of the polyester or polyester composition is determined by the impact resistance, flavor retention and barrier property against corrosive components of the laminated draw-formed container after aging. It was found to be closely related to.

That is, the impact resistance (dent resistance) after aging is
As shown in Table 3 described later, the lower the glass transition point of polyester is, the better the polyester is. On the other hand, the higher the glass transition point is, the better the flavor retention and the barrier property against corrosive components are. Based on this knowledge, the present invention provides a polyester composition having a low glass transition point as an inner layer and a polyester or polyester composition having a high glass transition point as a surface layer on a metal substrate.

The relationship between Tg and dent resistance of the polyester composition is shown in detail in Table 2 which will be described later.
Is higher than 60 ° C. specified in the present invention, a laminated squeeze container using the same can be filled with contents even if it exhibits relatively good impact resistance (dent resistance) immediately after molding. However, it was found that the dent resistance was remarkably reduced when aged (see Comparative Example 4 described later).
On the other hand, when a polyester composition having a Tg of 60 ° C. or lower is used, the dent resistance after aging is remarkably improved. However, the Tg of this polyester composition is also related to the film-forming property of the film and the barrier property of the film, and when the Tg is 30 ° C. or less, the film-forming property of the film decreases,
In addition, the barrier property against corrosive components decreases when used as a container, and the metal tends to corrode during long-term storage.
Should be above 30 ° C.

On the other hand, there is a very clear correspondence between the Tg of the polyester used and the adsorption performance of the fragrance component, and as the Tg decreases, the adsorption of the fragrance component occurs remarkably. FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the Tg and the adsorption amount of the aroma component when the aroma model liquid and the polyester or the polyester composition are brought into contact with each other (for details, see the examples described later). From this graph, Tg is 30
In the dent-resistant polyester composition having a Tg of 65 to 65 ° C, the aroma component is considerably adsorbed, whereas in the polyester or the polyester composition having a Tg of 70 ° C or more, the adsorption of the aroma component is suppressed to a low level. Is understood.

The inner layer (II) in the present invention has a Tg in the above range and comprises (a) a polyester or copolyester mainly containing butylene terephthalate and (b) a polyester or copolyester mainly containing ethylene terephthalate. It is important to include. Inner layer 2
Is composed of these blends, the Tg can be lowered to a desired range, and the laminated container can be stored under a low temperature condition such as when placed in a refrigerating condition.
It was found that the dent resistance was improved. In this composition, the butylene terephthalate polyester or copolyester (a) has a much higher crystallization rate than the ethylene terephthalate polyester or copolyester (b), and both have a polydispersed structure. , Butylene terephthalate polyester or copolyester (PET) in a continuous phase consisting of ethylene terephthalate polyester or copolyester (PBT)
Has a sea-island type dispersion structure in which is precipitated as crystal particles.
Like the rubber-like elastic structure, this dispersed structure has an elastic structure in which hard segments (PBT) and soft segments (PET) are alternately connected, and the crystalline particle phase of PBT is cracked even when shocked at low temperatures. It is recognized that it acts to prevent the elongation of the.

Further, the ethylene terephthalate-based polyester or copolyester forming the continuous phase is thermally stable and excellent in mechanical properties as compared with those mainly containing butylene terephthalate, so that deep drawing is performed. It gives excellent workability in that it can follow the severe plastic flow in.

The surface layer (I) of the present invention has a Tg of 70.
It is also important that the temperature is not lower than 0 ° C., and that it is composed of a polyester or copolyester mainly composed of ethylene terephthalate or a composition thereof. These polyesters,
In particular, those containing isophthalic acid as a copolymerization component are excellent not only in the above-mentioned mechanical properties and thermal properties but also in the barrier property against corrosive components.

This surface polyester is measured in a container state at the top or bottom of the container by a birefringence method,
The birefringence method orientation degree (Δn) is 0.04 to 0.18, where “Mathematical formula 1” Δn = n ₁ −n ₂ n ₁ is the refractive index in the container axial direction of the film at the top of the can and at the bottom of the can. Is the refractive index of the maximum orientation within the film surface, and n ₂ is the refractive index in the thickness direction of the film.
Further, it is important for the winding performance (leakage resistance).

The degree of birefringence orientation (Δn) indicates the degree of orientation of the surface polyester in the axial direction of the container,
This indicates that a certain molecular orientation is present in this surface layer. In addition, the measurement site is specified on the upper part of the container because the part where the uniaxial orientation by drawing is most likely to remain is the upper part, and the part used for winding with the lid is also the upper part of the container. This is because the part where it is difficult to remain is the bottom of the container.

If the degree of birefringence orientation (Δn) of the polyester layer on the upper part of the container is larger than the above range, metal erosion or leakage will occur due to cracking of the film in the BHR part of the container at the winding part after winding with the lid. If this value is smaller than the above range, there is a tendency that the barrier property is lowered to cause underfilm corrosion or the dent resistance is lowered.

In the production of the draw-formed container of the present invention, the above-mentioned multilayer polyester is laminated so that the low Tg polyester layer is on the metal side and the high Tg polyester layer is on the surface side. In this laminated structure, the low Tg polyester layer, which is effective in terms of impact resistance, is on the metal side, and the high Tg polyester layer, which is effective in preventing flavour adsorption and blocking corrosive components, is on the surface side, thus achieving excellent container performance. To be done.

It is desirable to contain it in a weight ratio of 0 to 80:20.
Copolymerization with isophthalic acid has a large effect of improving impact resistance. Further, when an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, particularly adipic acid or sebacic acid, is incorporated into a copolyester, even if a small amount is copolymerized, the melting point is not significantly lowered, and the glass transition point can be significantly lowered. .

In the present invention, from this viewpoint, it is preferable to use a composition containing the component (A) in an amount of 80 to 50% by weight and the component (B) in an amount of 30 to 50% by weight based on two components. . Of course, this polyester composition contains, in addition to the above polyester component (A) and polyester component (B),

When an adhesive primer is used, it is generally desirable to subject the surface of the biaxially stretched copolyester film to corona discharge treatment in order to improve the adhesion to the film. The degree of corona discharge treatment is preferably such that the wetting tension is 44 dyne / cm or more. In addition, it is also possible to subject the film to plasma treatment, flame treatment, or other known adhesion-improving surface treatment, or urethane resin-based or modified polyester resin-based adhesion-improving coating treatment.

May consist of

Adhesive Primer The adhesive primer, which is optionally provided between the polyester film and the metal material, exhibits excellent adhesion to both the metal material and the film. A typical primer coating having excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance is a phenol-epoxy type coating composed of a resol type phenol aldehyde resin derived from various phenols and formaldehyde, and a bisphenol type epoxy resin, Particularly, the phenol resin and the epoxy resin are 50:50 to 5: 9.
It is a coating material containing 5 weight ratio, particularly 40:60 to 10:90 weight ratio. The adhesive primer layer is generally 0.0
The thickness is preferably 1 to 10 μm. The adhesive primer layer may be previously provided on the metal material or may be previously provided on the polyester film.

Manufacturing Method In the present invention, the above-mentioned laminated film is laminated such that the layer (I) is located on the surface side and the layer (II) is located on the metal side, and this laminated material is provided between the punch and the die. Deep drawing is performed on the bottom cup, and if necessary, the cup side wall is thinned by bending and stretching or ironing in the drawing step, and the film layer of the bottomed cup formed next is mixed with the melting point of the polyester composition ± 30 ° C. At least one heat treatment is performed at a temperature.

The metal material and the composite film are laminated by, for example, press-bonding them under the condition that only the portion of the film in contact with the metal material is melted. In this case, the metal material can be preheated to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening point of polyester (heat setting temperature of the film), and the laminate can be rapidly cooled immediately after lamination. As another method, the composite polyester film and the metal material are pressure-bonded via an adhesive primer layer provided on any of them and laminated.

Thus, the draw-forming of the produced laminate is carried out by means known per se. For example, according to deep drawing (drawing-redrawing), as shown in FIG. 5, a front drawing cup 21 formed from a coated metal plate has an annular holding member 22 inserted into the cup and a holding member 22 below the holding member 22. It is held by the redrawing die 23 located. A redrawing punch 24 is provided coaxially with the holding member 22 and the redrawing die 23 and so as to be able to move in and out of the holding member 22. The redrawing punch 24 and the redrawing die 23 are relatively moved so as to mesh with each other.

As a result, the side wall portion of the front throttle cup 21 is bent radially inward from the outer peripheral surface 25 of the annular holding member 22 via the curvature corner portion 26 thereof, and the annular bottom surface 27 of the annular holding member 22. And the upper surface 28 of the redrawing die 23, and is bent substantially vertically in the axial direction by the action corner portion 29 of the redrawing die 23 to form a deep drawing cup 30 having a smaller diameter than the front drawing cup 21. can do. Furthermore, the side wall can be thinned by bending and stretching.

For deep-drawn cans, the following formula

[Equation 5] In the formula, D is the diameter of the sheared laminate material and d is the punch diameter.
It is preferable that the range is from 3.0 to 3.0, and the total range is from 1.5 to 5.0. In the case of bending and stretching, the side wall of the can is 5 to 45%, especially 5 to 40% of the plate thickness (tB).
It is effective to reduce the thickness.

According to the present invention, the draw-formed container is then subjected to heat treatment under the above-mentioned conditions. For this heat treatment, a heating device known per se such as an infrared heater, a hot air circulating furnace, an induction heating device can be used. Further, this heat treatment may be carried out in one step, or may be carried out in two or more steps. It should be well understood that it is not necessary to quench the container after the heat treatment of the present invention. That is, in the case of a film or a laminated plate, the quenching operation is easy, but in the case of a container, the quenching operation in the industrial sense is difficult because it has a three-dimensional shape and a large heat capacity due to the metal. In the present invention, crystal growth is suppressed and excellent combination characteristics can be obtained by the above-mentioned action even without a quenching operation. Of course, if desired, cold air blowing,
The use of a quenching means such as spraying cooling water is optional.

The invention is illustrated by the following example.

The relationship between Tg and dent resistance of the polyester composition is shown in detail in Table 2 which will be described later.
Is higher than 60 ° C. specified in the present invention, the laminated seamless container using the same is filled with the contents even if it exhibits relatively good impact resistance (dent resistance) immediately after molding. However, it was found that the dent resistance was remarkably reduced when aged (see Comparative Example 4 described later). On the other hand, when a polyester composition having a Tg of 60 ° C. or lower is used, the dent resistance after aging is remarkably improved. However, the T of this polyester composition
g is also related to the film-forming property of the film and the barrier property of the film. When Tg is 30 ° C or lower, the film-forming property of the film decreases, and when it is used as a container, the barrier property against corrosive components decreases, and The Tg should be above 30 ° C. as it tends to corrode metals on storage.
