Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for producing a sandwich structure on the basis of at least one layer on the basis of plastics with at least one layer on the basis of metallic material, for example sheet steel, wherein a special adhesion-promoting and conversion-protecting coating is undertaken on at least one surface, the sandwich structure produced in this manner and the use of the sandwich structure produced in this manner.
• One route to weight reduction is the use of sandwich structures in which a part of the usually heavy but typically mechanically very stable metallic material is replaced with organic material and with which a well-adhering composite in a stable construction can be used.
• Particularly preferred sandwich structures are, for example, those on the basis of metal-plastics, metal-plastics-metal or metal-plastics-metal-plastics-metal.
• EP 1 651 432 B1 teaches a metal laminate which comprises between two outer metal sheets an adhesive polymer layer comprising polyamide, a copolymer of ethylene and an unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or a derivative thereof and a reactive copolymer which comprises a styrene maleic anhydride copolymer, which has a molecular weight from 1400 to 10000.
• DE 102007046226 A1 relates to a composite component consisting of a first and second metal sheet with at least one polymer foam layer arranged between them.
• DE 2627681 A1 teaches phosphating methods on the basis of acidic metal phosphate solution in the presence of a water-soluble polymer with monomer units of (methyl)acrylic acid and/or (meth)acrylamide.
• U.S. Pat. No. 3,721,597 relates to production methods of laminates on the basis of aluminum panels, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer and HD-PE as the inner layer.
• one or more layers of organic polymer which are used for a sandwich structure and are glued on as a layer and/or are pressed onto one another, require a significantly greater thickness than a paint layer, for example, a thickness in the region of 0.1 to 5 mm.
• a high degree of adhesion between the individual layers of a sandwich structure is necessarily required for the production, in particular, of a stiffness-optimized sandwich structure, for example, a metal-plastics-metal sandwich structure.
• a stiffness-optimized sandwich structure for example, a metal-plastics-metal sandwich structure.
• a wet chemical application of a thin surface-activating and/or adhesion-promoting intermediate layer on the metallic surface of a metallic layer and the melting on, in particular, of thermoplastic components of a polymer layer In order to apply the surface-activating and/or adhesion-promoting intermediate layer onto the metallic surface of a metallic layer, separate plant passes for pre-treatment, for example, of a metal sheet in a coil coating plant are required.
• galvanized steel sheets depending on their production method, for example, hot-dip galvanized steel sheet Z or electrolytically galvanized steel sheet ZE, require different process control, which entails additional effort.
• Other metal substrates can be created with the conventional method sometimes only with insufficient adhesion of the layers of the sandwich structure.
• a certain degree of adhesion has been achieved by means of an acidic conversion composition to form a conversion layer with approximately 30 mg Ti per m 2 , on Z, an insufficient adhesion has been achieved.
• a sufficiently high level of adhesion could only be achieved on Z when by additional process steps with a first alkaline conversion composition, furthermore with additional rinsing with water and then with a second acidic conversion composition, a second conversion layer having approximately 30 mg Ti per m 2 was formed.
• a second conversion layer having approximately 30 mg Ti per m 2 was formed.
• the conventionally used technique had the disadvantage, in particular, for hot-dip galvanized steel sheets, that the metal-plastics composite had only a limited adhesion in a peel strength test.
• wet-chemical conversion compositions should be investigated. It would be advantageous if the conventional wet-chemical coating method for surface activation and/or adhesion-promotion could be more effectively adapted to the plastics used. It was an aim to ascertain alternative wet-chemical conversion compositions for all common metal substrates and, in particular, for metallic-coated steel substrates. It was also an aim to provide metallic layers for a sandwich structure with the aid of a thin adhesion-promoting conversion coating which serves as an intermediate layer of a sandwich structure and hereby to achieve a sandwich composite adhesion of at least 300N/4 cm at 4 cm sample width, which results in 75N/cm in the peel strength test according to ISO 11339, 2010.
• the object is achieved with a method for producing a sandwich structure from at least one layer of metallic material and at least one layer of organic polymer, characterized in that at least one surface on at least one metallic layer which is to be combined with at least one layer of organic polymer is brought into contact with an aqueous conversion composition which contains:
• the organic polymer is a thermoplastic polymer and/or a thermoplastic copolymer.
• the surfaces to be coated are typically cleaned and then rinsed with water. If metallic layers are put into intermediate storage, they are usually oiled. If oiled surfaces are to be treated or if the plant is at least somewhat contaminated with oil, it is to be recommended particularly to clean the surfaces with an alkaline cleaner before the coating and then to rinse them with water in order to remove adhering cleaning solution from the surface. A surface that is not completely water-wettable can result in an uneven no-rinse coating.
• the resulting conversion layer is preferably completely X-ray amorphous or is X-ray amorphous with slight crystalline fractions, which is unusual for a zinc phosphate layer. It is important that the surface of the metallic layer is wetted as completely and evenly as possible with the no rinse conversion composition. On application with the aid of rollers as coater rollers and/or as squeezing rollers, the condition of the application roller is very important since it is intended to create an even wet film preferably in the range from 0.5 to 10 ml/m 2 .
• the inventive conversion coating method therefore takes place without an activation step with a colloidal titanium phosphate or with a surface conditioner on the basis of phosphate particles, which is unusual for a typical zinc phosphating. This is also a sign that the inventive conversion composition and its coating method are no typical zinc phosphating.
• the aqueous conversion composition has a total content of manganese, aluminum, chromium(III), iron(II), iron(III) and/or magnesium in the region of 0.01 to 8 g/l, particularly preferably in the range from 0.1 to 6 g/l, from 0.2 to 5 g/l, from 0.3 to 4 g/l, from 0.4 to 3 g/l, from 0.5 to 2 g/l or from 0.6 to 1 g/l.

• polyacrylic acid to the aqueous conversion composition has proved to be useful since therewith significantly better adhesion results are achieved, which had not previously succeeded without polyacrylic acid.
• An addition of polyacrylic acid provides the conversion coating with a greater adhesive strength, which has a positive effect, in particular with materials on the basis of polyethylene and/or polyamide. It is herein advisable to add a water-soluble or water-dispersible polyacrylic acid to the conversion composition.

• silane, silanol and siloxane are often referred to below simply as silane.
• silane/silanol/siloxane if often also subject to a rapid sequence of reactions, including in water, so that due to the changes and due to the great effort for a suitable demonstration of the state, a determination and a more precise specification are not worthwhile.
• silanes fundamentally many types are possible individually or in combination with one another. They are preferably put into a water-soluble or water-dissolved state. Particularly preferably, they are partially or entirely hydrolyzed.
