Description

  The present invention relates to a polyester film used for the purpose of preventing corrosion of metal containers such as soft drinks, beer, and canned foods, a film laminated metal plate obtained by laminating the film on a metal plate, and the film laminated metal plate. In particular, the present invention relates to a polyester film suitably used for a two-piece can. More specifically, a polyester film excellent in adhesion to a metal plate and can manufacturing properties (for example, drawing and ironing properties), a film laminated metal plate obtained by laminating the film on a metal plate, and the film laminated metal plate It is related with the metal container formed by shape | molding.

  Conventionally, the inner surface and outer surface of a metal can have been widely coated with a solution in which various thermosetting resins such as epoxy and phenol are dissolved or dispersed in a solvent for the purpose of preventing corrosion. Has been done. However, this method of coating the thermosetting resin has poor productivity due to the long time required to dry the paint, and also has undesirable problems such as adverse effects on the human body and environment due to the use of a large amount of organic solvent. .

  In order to solve such a problem, a method of coating a metal plate with a thermoplastic resin by a melt extrusion method is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). A method of laminating a thermoplastic resin film on a metal plate is also known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  By the way, for beverage cans, in addition to the so-called three-piece cans, which are obtained by attaching lids to the upper and lower openings of a metal cylinder formed by cylindrical molding of a metal plate, the metal plate is squeezed or squeezed and ironed. There is a so-called two-piece can formed by forming a container part and winding a lid on the upper surface opening of the container part.

  However, when a polyester film mainly composed of polyethylene terephthalate is applied to a two-piece can, the moldability during drawing and ironing and the adhesion of the film to the metal plate are insufficient, causing delaminating or tearing. There is a case. This tendency appears more noticeably in a biaxially stretched film in which the film is in an oriented state.

  Therefore, in order to apply the film-laminated metal plate to a two-piece can, it is necessary to have good formability of forming following the forming of the metal plate and to have excellent adhesion to the metal plate. If the formability is insufficient or the film has insufficient adhesion to the metal plate, a so-called delaminating phenomenon occurs in which the film is peeled off from the metal plate, or the film is produced during the production of the container part of a two-piece can. Because it will be torn.

  Biaxially oriented films of various forms have been proposed as means for improving the formability of film laminated metal plates into two-piece cans. (For example, refer to Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, and Patent Document 5) However, the methods disclosed in these documents are effective when used in a drawn can and a deep drawn can having a low deformation rate. When used for a squeezed iron can having a large deformation rate, a sufficient effect on moldability has not been obtained.

  In addition, in order to apply the film laminate metal plate to a two-piece can, a remelt process is performed in which, after laminating, heating is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the polyester constituting the film in order to remove the orientation of the polyester film, and then rapidly cooling Yes. (For example, refer to Patent Document 6). The film that has become substantially non-oriented by the remelt treatment can follow the deformation in the forming process of the drawn iron can.

  However, non-oriented films generally have lower strength than biaxially stretched films, and it is said that oligomers tend to precipitate and embrittlement tends to occur. In particular, the film for the inner surface of the can needs to have impact resistance so that the metal is not eroded by the occurrence of pinholes and cracks in the film due to the impact at the time of canning. Since the film at the bottom portion of the can that is not deformed during molding remains in a non-oriented state, the impact resistance tends to decrease. In addition, when using a molding method that punches without leaving a brim at the tip of the can body at the time of can making, the tearing property of the film is poor and beard-like film scraps accumulate in the can making process, and the case of continuous cans made industrially There was a problem of deteriorating can manufacturing.

In addition, when the deformation rate during can making is large, or when the can is made at a high speed of 100 cans / minute or more, the film laminate metal plate obtained by the above-described conventional technique can be used to extend the film. However, the problems still remain, such as film slippage (galling) on the outer surface of the can and adhesion between the film on the inner surface of the can and the punch (strip-out).

  The polyester film of the present invention has adhesion to a metal plate, drawability and ironing ability (especially, release characteristics of can inner film and processing punch during canning under severe conditions, and scratch resistance of outer face film of can. Film laminate metal plate having excellent adhesion properties), and a metal can obtained by molding the film laminate metal plate has a good appearance, and is a very useful polyester film, film laminate metal plate, and film laminate metal. It is a metal container obtained by forming a plate.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The copolymerized polyester used in the present invention is a copolymerized polyester having an ethylene terephthalate component as a main component and an ethylene isophthalate component. The ratio of the isophthalic acid component to the total acid component of the copolymerized polyester is preferably 3 to 20 mol%, and more preferably 4 to 10 mol%. The copolymerized polyester can contain other copolymerization components as long as the purpose is not impaired. Among the other copolymerizable components that can be used, the dicarboxylic acid component includes naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, diphenylsulfone dicarboxylic acid, aromatic dicarboxylic acid such as 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, Aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as decanedicarboxylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and dimer acid, oxycarboxylic acids such as p-oxybenzoic acid, and alicyclic dicarboxylic acids such as cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid can be used. The amount of the above-mentioned dicarboxylic acids and their ester derivatives that can be used is preferably 20 mol% or less, more preferably 10 mol% or less. If the amount of other dicarboxylic acids and their ester derivatives used exceeds 20 mol%, the thermal stability of the polyester is deteriorated, which is not preferable.

  Further, as the glycol component of the copolymerized polyester of the present invention, components that can be used in addition to the ethylene glycol component include aliphatic glycols such as propanediol, butanediol, pentanediol, hexanediol, neopentylglycol, cyclohexanedimethanol, etc. Aromatic glycols such as alicyclic glycol, ethylene oxide adduct of bisphenol A, ethylene oxide adduct of bisphenol S, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol and the like can be used. In addition, a small amount of a compound containing an amide bond, a urethane bond, an ether bond, a carbonate bond, or the like may be included. Here, the amount of the other glycol component that can be used is preferably 20 mol% or less, and more preferably 10 mol% or less. If the amount of the other glycol component used exceeds 20 mol%, the thermal stability of the polyester deteriorates, which is not preferable.

  In the polyester composition of the present invention, in order to improve the molding adhesion and tearability at the time of making a film-laminated metal plate, a polyoxy group having 3 or more repeating alkylene oxide units having 2 or more carbon atoms. It is necessary to contain an alkylene glycol component. By containing the said component, the elasticity at normal temperature and low temperature of a polyester composition can be provided, and the shaping | molding adhesiveness with a metal plate can be improved. In particular, it is effective in improving the formability during drawing and ironing cans that are subjected to shock deformation at high speed. Moreover, the process abnormality at the time of continuous production by the accumulation | storage of the chip | tip (whisker) by the tearability defect of the film at the time of can making can be prevented. Examples of polyoxyalkylene glycols comprising alkylene oxide units having 2 carbon atoms include polyethylene glycol (2 carbon atoms), polytrimethylene glycol (3 carbon atoms), polytetramethylene glycol (4 carbon atoms), polyhexamethylene Glycol (6 carbon atoms) can be used, and one of these components may be used alone, or two or more components may be mixed and used. A polyoxyalkylene glycol having an average molecular weight in the range of 500 to 3000 can be suitably used, and an average molecular weight in the range of 800 to 2000 is more preferable.

  The method for incorporating the above polyoxyalkylene glycol component into the polyester composition of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, a polyester composition obtained by adding a polyoxyalkylene glycol component at the stage of producing a polyester composition in the same manner as other raw materials and then terminating the polyester synthesis reaction may be used, or a polyoxyalkylene glycol may be used. Another copolyester obtained by copolymerization of may be melt-mixed with the polyester composition of the present invention. In the present invention, the latter method of melt mixing is preferable because the effect of improving the moldability and tearability of the can is exhibited more efficiently. In particular, the polyalkylene terephthalate-polytetramethylene oxide block copolymer is melt-mixed. The method is the most preferred form.

The amount of the polyoxyalkylene glycol component contained in the polyester composition of the present invention is such that the amount of alkylene oxide units having 2 or more carbon atoms derived from the polyoxyalkylene glycol component is the total glycol component of the polyester composition. It is necessary that it is 2 to 20 mol%. An alkylene oxide unit having 2 or more carbon atoms derived from a polyoxyalkylene glycol component is a structural unit in which both ends of an alkylene chain form an ether bond with an adjacent alkylene chain with an oxygen atom in between. If the amount is less than 2 mol%, the effect of improving the canability and tearability is insufficient, and if it exceeds 20 mol%, the strength and thermal properties of the film are lowered, and the film production process and laminate metal plate production process The handleability may be deteriorated.

  The melting point of the copolymerized polyester of the present invention is 220 to 250 ° C. Can manufacturing properties (ensuring release of the resin and punch on the inner surface of the can in drawing and ironing processes, galling of the resin on the outer surface of the can (resin film) This is necessary from the standpoint of ensuring vertical scratches). Furthermore, when the processing conditions at the time of can-making become severe, it is preferable to be in the range of 230 to 245 ° C. It is necessary to adjust the type and content of the copolymerization component so as to fall within the above melting point range.

  The copolymer polyester composition constituting the polyester film of the present invention may be a single composition or a blend of two or more polyester compositions having different composition ratios. In addition, a small amount of other polyester compositions represented by polybutylene terephthalate can be blended. In order to satisfy the thermal stability and moldability of the polyester film of the present invention, the total of the ethylene terephthalate component and the ethylene isophthalate component is 80 to 100 mol% as a final constituent of the entire film, and the ethylene isophthalate component is It is preferable to adjust the composition and blending so that the total content of the ethylene terephthalate component and the ethylene isophthalate component is 3 to 20 mol%, and the ethylene isophthalate component is 4 to 10 mol%. When a small amount of polybutylene terephthalate is blended, it is preferable from the viewpoint of thermal stability and moldability that the butylene terephthalate component is blended so as to be 20 mol% or less.

  It does not specifically limit about the manufacturing method of polyester of this invention. That is, it can be used even if it is produced by either the transesterification method or the direct polymerization method. Further, it may be produced by a solid phase polymerization method in order to increase the molecular weight. In addition, the amount of oligomers from the polyester resin in the retort treatment etc. that is carried out after filling the can into the can is reduced, and from the standpoint of fragrance to prevent the content and flavor from deteriorating, From the viewpoint of preventing contamination, it is preferable to use a polyester having a low oligomer content produced by a solid phase polymerization method under reduced pressure or under an inert gas atmosphere.

  Here, for example, the content of the oligomeric cyclic trimer including ethylene terephthalate cyclic trimer is preferably 0.7% by weight or less.

  The intrinsic viscosity of the polyester of the present invention is preferably 0.6 to 1.2. If the intrinsic viscosity is less than 0.6, the mechanical properties of the resulting film may be deteriorated, and even if the intrinsic viscosity exceeds 1.2, no further effect of improving the mechanical properties can be obtained. In addition, the productivity at the time of production of the polyester is lowered, which is not economical.

  In the production of the polyester in the present invention, as the polymerization catalyst, antimony oxide, germanium oxide, titanium compound, etc. are used, and in addition to the polymerization catalyst, the polyester resin composition of the present invention is used to form a melt-extruded film. In order to provide electrostatic adhesion, Mg salt such as magnesium acetate and magnesium chloride, Ca salt such as calcium acetate and calcium chloride, Mn salt such as manganese acetate and manganese chloride, Zn salt such as zinc chloride and zinc acetate, Co salt such as cobalt chloride and cobalt acetate should be added within the range of 300 ppm or less as the total amount of each metal ion, and phosphoric acid ester derivatives such as phosphoric acid or phosphoric acid trimethyl ester and phosphoric acid triethyl ester as phosphorous atoms within 200 ppm or less. Is also possible. When the total amount of metal ions other than the above polymerization catalyst exceeds 300 ppm and the amount of phosphorus exceeds 200 ppm, not only is the resulting polyester colored significantly, but the heat resistance and hydrolysis resistance of the polyester may also decrease. Therefore, it is not preferable.

  At this time, when the molar ratio of the total phosphorus amount to be added and the total metal ion amount is 0.4 to 1.0, the polyester having the best balance of heat resistance, hydrolysis resistance, and electrostatic adhesion Is preferable. Here, molar ratio of addition amount = (total amount of phosphorus in phosphoric acid, phosphoric acid alkyl ester or derivative thereof (molar atom)) / (total amount of Mg ion, Ca ion, Mn ion, Zn ion, Co ion ( Mole atom)). When the molar ratio is less than 0.4, the composition of the present invention is markedly colored, and heat resistance and hydrolysis resistance are lowered. If it exceeds 1.0, sufficient electrostatic adhesion cannot be obtained.

  Further, as described above, the polyester film of the present invention has a laminated metal even when the production conditions are severe, such as when the metal deformation ratio is increased or the processing speed is increased when the metal container is manufactured by drawing and ironing. In order to impart the slipperiness of the plate, it is preferable to use inert particles. The amount of inert particles is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 1.0% by weight. This is because a lubricant amount of 0.01% by weight or more is preferable in order to release the film smoothly from punches and dies when the film is drawn and ironed, and to prevent the film that becomes the outer surface of the can from being scratched. . On the other hand, even if it contains an amount exceeding 1.0% by weight, the effect of preventing scratches is not changed, and only the cost is disadvantageous.

  Here, as the inert particles, it is preferable to use inert inorganic particles, crosslinked polymer particles, or the like. Examples of the inert inorganic particles include silica, alumina, kaolin clay, titanium oxide, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, lithium fluoride, barium sulfate, and carbon black. Moreover, as the crosslinked polymer particles, acrylic monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid ester, methacrylic acid ester, styrene monomers such as styrene and alkyl-substituted styrene, and divinylbenzene, Copolymers with crosslinking monomers such as divinyl sulfone, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethyl acrylate, pentaerythritol tetramethyl acrylate, melamine resins, benzoguanamine resins, phenol resins, silicon-containing resins, etc. Can be illustrated. Among them, the amorphous particles are preferably amorphous particles composed of aggregates of primary particles, especially the agglomerated silica particles, and the crosslinked polymer particles are preferably crosslinked polymethyl methacrylate particles.

  The average particle diameter of the inert particles is preferably 1.0 to 2.5 μm. This is because if it is less than 1.0 μm, the effect of improving the scratch resistance of the film cannot be sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds 2.5 μm, the effect of improving scratch resistance is saturated, but particles are likely to fall off due to wear, and film breakage may occur during lamination with a metal plate. The average particle diameter of the inert particles was measured by a 50% weight average by a Coulter counter method.

  The inert particles may be added to the polyester film in the production process of the polyester composition, or the polyester composition and the inert particles may be melt-kneaded. Moreover, you may add with the masterbatch containing a high concentration lubricant particle at the time of manufacture of a polyester film. The polyester film used in the present invention preferably has a coefficient of dynamic friction between the film and the metal at 80 ° C. of 0.45 or less. If the dynamic friction coefficient is 0.45 or less, the slipperiness with a die or a punch at the time of can making becomes a practical level. In order to lower the dynamic friction coefficient, it can be achieved by adding inert particles in the above-mentioned range, but it is also preferable to use a combination of inorganic particles and crosslinked polymer particles or polyester incompatible thermoplastic resins. This is an embodiment.

  As described above, the polyester film of the present invention is provided with the slidability of the laminated metal plate after being remelted to eliminate the orientation after the film is laminated to the metal plate, and a metal can is manufactured by drawing and ironing. In order to obtain good canability (especially the resin and punch release properties on the inner surface of the can) even when the manufacturing conditions are severe, such as when the processing deformation ratio increases and the processing speed increases, as necessary It is preferable that the polyester resin composition contains a wax component. The addition of wax is indispensable especially when the can-making speed increases.

  The wax component contained in the polyester film of the present invention includes natural waxes such as paraffin wax, carnauba wax, lanolin wax, polyethylene wax, ester wax, glycerin from the viewpoint of workability in blending with a resin and film forming properties. It is preferable to contain one or more waxes selected from synthetic waxes such as fatty acid esters and higher fatty acid monoamides, and polyethylene wax is particularly preferable.

  The wax content in the polyester resin composition is preferably 0.01 to 0.15% by weight, and more preferably 0.02 to 0.1% by weight. If the wax content is less than 0.01% by weight, it cannot be said that the effect of improving the can-making property is sufficient, and if it exceeds 0.15% by weight, no further effect of improving the can-making property can be expected. This is because the thermal stability of the composition may be impaired.

  The method for incorporating the wax into the polyester film of the present invention is not particularly limited. That is, a method of producing a film using a polymer obtained by melt-kneading polyester and wax in advance, a method of producing a film directly using a mixture of polyester and wax, and the like can be used.

  In addition to the inert particles and wax, the polyester film of the present invention includes an incompatible thermoplastic resin, an antioxidant, a heat stabilizer, an ultraviolet absorber, a plasticizer, a pigment, and an antistatic agent as necessary. Further, additives such as a lubricant and a crystal nucleating agent may be contained.

  The polyester film of the present invention may contain an antioxidant in order to prevent fine waviness from occurring on the surface of the remelt metal plate due to thermal degradation of the film when the film laminate metal plate is remelted. is necessary. In particular, when the laminate film is thinned, the above-mentioned problem becomes remarkable, so the addition of an antioxidant is indispensable.

  Antioxidants used in the present invention include primary antioxidants (which have a phenol-based or amine-based radical scavenging and chain termination action), and secondary antioxidants (which are phosphorus-based and sulfur-based). Any of these can be used. Specific examples include phenolic antioxidants (eg, phenol type, bisphenol type, thiobisphenol type, polyphenol type, etc.), amine antioxidants (eg, diphenylamine type, quinoline type, etc.), phosphorus antioxidants (eg, For example, phosphite type, phosphonite type, and the like) and sulfur-based antioxidants (for example, thiodipropionic acid ester type and the like). Specifically, n-octadecyl-β- (4′-hydroxy-3,5′-di-t-butylphenyl) propionate, tetrakis [methylene-3- (3 ′, 5′-di-t-butyl-) 4′-hydroxyphenyl) propionate] (which is commercially available as “Irganox 1010” (trade name)), 1,1,3-tris (2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-tert-butylphenyl) ) Butane, 1,3,5-tris (3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) -S-triazine-2,4,6 (1H, 3H, 5H) -trione, 1,3, 5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris (3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) benzene (which is commercially available as "Irganox 1330" (trade name)), tris ( mix Mono and / or dinonylphenyl) phosphite, cyclic neopentanetetrayl bis (octadecyl phosphite), tris (2,4-di-t-butylphenyl phosphite), 2,2-methylene bis (4,6- And di-t-butylphenyl) octyl phosphite, di-lauryl-thiodipropionate, di-myristyl-thiodipropionate, and di-stearyl-thiodipropionate. These antioxidants may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The content of the antioxidant with respect to the polyester film of the present invention needs to be in the range of 0.01 to 1.0% by weight. If the content of the antioxidant is less than 0.01% by weight, the effect of substantially preventing thermal degradation is insufficient, and conversely, even if the content exceeds 1.0% by weight, the effect of more than that is It cannot be expected and it will only be economically disadvantageous.

  In order to further improve the adhesion of the polyester film of the present invention to the metal plate, a two-layer structure in which another resin layer (II) is laminated on one side of the film layer (I) made of the polyester composition described above The laminated film is preferably used. Here, the resin constituting the resin layer (II) is more preferably a water-dispersed resin composition.

  The water-dispersed resin composition is a resin composition that is insoluble in water but can be dispersed or dissolved in an aqueous solvent. Specifically, the resin composition which copolymerized the monomer component which has a hydrophilic group in a molecule | numerator is mentioned. By using such a resin composition, it is possible to achieve excellent adhesion with a metal plate.

A water-dispersed polyester composition obtained by a normal polyester polymerization reaction using these monomers together with a dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component is preferably used. Of the above monomers, sodium and potassium salts of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid and sulfoterephthalic acid are more preferable.

  When the monomer having a hydrophilic group is an alkali metal salt of the sulfonic acid-containing monomer, the amount added is 3 to 10 mol% based on the total acid component of the water-dispersible polyester composition. It is preferable at the point which balances hot water resistance.

  As another example, there is a method in which a vinyl monomer having a hydrophilic group is graft-polymerized to a copolyester. Examples of the vinyl monomer having a hydrophilic group include a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, an amide group, and the like, and groups that can be changed to a hydrophilic group include an acid anhydride group, a glycidyl group, and a chloro group. Etc. are included. Of these, those having a carboxyl group are preferred. For example, monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, and salts thereof. Other vinyl monomers having a hydrophilic group include, for example, epoxy group-containing monomers such as allyl glycidyl ether, monomers containing sulfonic acid groups such as styrene sulfonic acid, vinyl sulfonic acid and salts thereof, or salts thereof, croton Examples thereof include monomers containing a carboxyl group such as acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and salts thereof or salts thereof, and monomers containing acid anhydrides such as maleic anhydride and itaconic anhydride.

As a method of grafting a vinyl monomer containing a hydrophilic group onto a resin composition, a known graft polymerization method can be used. The following method is given as a typical example. For example, a radical polymerization method in which a radical is generated in a main chain polymer substance by light, heat, radiation, etc., and then a vinyl monomer is graft-polymerized, or a cation that generates a cation using a catalyst such as AlCl ₃ or TiCl ₄ There is a polymerization method or an anionic polymerization method in which an anion is generated using metal Na, metal Li, or the like. Another example is a method in which a polymerizable unsaturated double bond is introduced into a main chain resin composition and a vinyl monomer is reacted therewith. Examples of the compound capable of forming an ester bond having a polymerizable unsaturated double bond include fumaric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, citraconic acid, 2,5-norbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride, and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride. An acid etc. can be mention | raise | lifted. Of these, fumaric acid, maleic acid, and 2,5-norbornene dicarboxylic acid are most preferred.

The water-dispersible resin composition of the present invention may contain a reactive group different from the hydrophilic group in order to obtain good water-resistant adhesion. The reactive group is a functional group that can chemically bond with a hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, polymerizable unsaturated double bond group, etc. in the resin composition or hydrophilic substance, specifically, an epoxy group, an isocyanate group.

Examples include a method of reacting hydroxyl group-containing acrylates such as methyl methacrylate.

  A method for adding a compound containing a reactive group as a curing agent separately from a resin composition or a hydrophilic substance is preferable because the coating film physical properties after curing can be prepared depending on the type and amount of the curing agent. one of. A preferable blending amount of the curing agent is 5 to 35% by weight, more preferably 10 to 25% by weight, based on the total of the resin composition and the hydrophilic substance. Curing agents containing alkylol-modified amino groups or alkyl etherated products thereof are alkyl etherified amino formaldehyde resins, curing agents containing epoxy groups are various epoxy compounds, and curing agents containing isocyanate groups are various isocyanates. Examples of the compound and the curing agent containing a polymerizable unsaturated double bond group include various vinyl group-containing monomers.

  The method of laminating the resin layer (II) made of the above water-dispersed resin composition on the resin layer (I) is not limited, and for example, a melt extrusion method, a coating method, or the like can be used. When the coating method is used, it is preferable not to use an organic solvent because an adverse effect on the human body and the environment can be reduced. The thickness of the resin layer B made of the water-dispersed resin composition is preferably controlled to 0.01 to 0.1 μm. This is because if the thickness of the resin layer (II) layer is 0.01 μm or less, sufficient adhesion strength with the metal plate cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 0.1 μm, the quality is excessive and not economically preferable. When the resin layer B is laminated by the coating method, either a stretched film during film formation (in-line) or a film after film formation (off-line) may be used.

  The polyester film of the present invention needs to be a biaxially stretched film from the viewpoint of obtaining sufficient strength for handling during film formation or processing. Examples of the biaxial stretching method include sequential biaxial stretching and simultaneous biaxial stretching. In the case of sequential biaxial stretching, generally, a method of stretching in the longitudinal direction and then stretching in the transverse direction is adopted, but it may be carried out by a method of stretching in the reverse order. Further, after biaxial stretching, it is preferable to fix the orientation of the polyester by heat treatment, but after biaxial stretching, re-stretching may be performed in the longitudinal direction and / or the width direction before the heat treatment step. Furthermore, the corona discharge treatment or the predetermined coating treatment is not limited at all on one side or both sides of the film before or after the stretching step.

The plane orientation coefficient of the polyester film of the present invention must be less than 0.130. This is because if the plane orientation coefficient is 0.130 or more, the adhesion force when the film is laminated on the metal plate may be insufficient. Further, the density of the polyester film of the present invention needs to be less than 1.385 g / cm ³ . A film with a density of 1.385 cm ³ or more lacks the adhesion between the film and the metal plate and the spreadability of the film. Therefore, the film cannot follow the deformation during can making, and the film peels off from the metal plate or is localized. The film may be torn or cracks may occur. In order to satisfy all the requirements for film formation of biaxially stretched film, handleability during processing, adhesion between the film and the metal plate, canability, etc., the plane orientation coefficient is 0.110 to 0.120, and the density is 1 Particularly preferred is a range of .345 to 1.375 cm ³ .

The method for laminating the laminated polyester film of the present invention on a metal plate is not particularly limited, and for example, a dry laminating method, a thermal laminating method or the like can be employed. Specifically, the metal plate is heated to the melting point or higher of the laminate surface of the film, the film is brought into contact with the surface of the metal plate, and passed between the nip rolls in this state. Subsequently, it laminates by making it quench-harden at 10-40 degreeC.

  Further, the film may be laminated only on one side of the metal plate or on both sides. In the case of double-sided lamination, it may be laminated at the same time or sequentially.

  In the present invention, when the film laminated metal plate is applied to a two-piece can, it is preferable to perform a remelt treatment in which heating is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the polyester constituting the film in order to remove the molecular orientation of the polyester after lamination. . Immediately after remelting, it is preferable to carry out forced cooling by using cold water or compressed air. After remelting, crystallization occurs during the process of cooling and solidifying the polyester by slow cooling to the air, etc., and when the polyester undergoes drawing and ironing in the subsequent can manufacturing process, the polyester does not follow the deformation caused by the processing. As a result, it becomes impossible to make cans.

  The degree of molecular orientation by X-ray observation after the remelt treatment is 10% or less, which can be said to be substantially non-oriented. In other words, a biaxially stretched film in which the polyester is oriented is difficult to be plastically deformed or stretched, making it difficult to perform the drawing process for forming the container part. In severe cases, from the metal plate during drawing and ironing. The delaminating phenomenon of peeling off occurs, tears, or scrapes. On the other hand, if it is substantially non-oriented, it can follow the deformation of the laminated metal plate, so that it can be molded with plastic deformation of the metal like a two-piece can without delaminating or tearing. be able to.

  The film-laminated metal container of the present invention is a metal container formed by appropriately forming the polyester film-laminated metal plate of the present invention, and the shape of the container and the method of forming the metal container are not particularly limited. Specifically, the present invention can be applied not only to a so-called three-piece can in which the top cover is wound and filled with contents, but also to a two-piece can that forms a container portion by drawing a metal plate.

  In the metal container of the present invention, the polyester film of the present invention may be molded so as to be on the inner wall surface side of the metal container, or may be molded so as to be on the outer wall surface side. When the polyester film of the present invention is used for the outer wall surface, a resin coating film containing a pigment or a colorant may be applied in advance in order to conceal the surface of the film to be bonded to the metal.

  In addition, when performing drawing and ironing, if necessary, a lubricant may be applied to the film surface in contact with the punch and die.

  The film-laminated metal container of the present invention may be subjected to printing or the like as necessary, and may be subjected to a remelt treatment again after a can-making process or a printing process.

  In the present invention, a surface-treated steel plate such as tin-free steel, an aluminum plate, an aluminum alloy plate, or a surface-treated aluminum plate or aluminum alloy plate can be used as the metal plate to be used.

  Although the thickness of the laminated polyester film of this invention is not specifically limited, 10-50 micrometers is preferable from the point of a coating effect (rust prevention property) and a moldability, and also economical efficiency. If the film thickness is less than 10 μm, the coating effect cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 50 μm, the film quality is excessive, which is economically undesirable.
