Abstract

A laminated metal sheet for a two-piece can includes: a metal sheet; and first and second polyester resin layers formed on outer and inner face sides of the container, respectively. The first polyester resin layer contains polyethylene terephthalate or a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 6 mol % in a ratio of 30% to 60% by mass, polybutylene terephthalate or a copolymerized polybutylene terephthalate with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 5 mol % in a ratio of 40% to 70% by mass, and a polyolefinic wax in an amount of 0.01% to 3.0% in outer percentage, the second polyester resin layer is a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 22 mol %, and residual degrees of orientation of the first and the second polyester resin layers are less than 30%.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A laminated metal sheet for a two-piece can, the laminated metal sheet comprising:
a metal sheet;
a first polyester resin layer formed on a surface of the metal sheet, the surface forming an outer face side of a container after container formation; and
a second polyester resin layer formed on a surface of the metal sheet, the surface forming an inner face side of the container after container formation, wherein
the first polyester resin layer contains: a polyethylene terephthalate polymer with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 6 mol % in a ratio of 30% to 60% by mass with respect to the first polyester resin layer, a polybutylene terephthalate polymer with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 5 mol % in a ratio of 40% to 70% by mass with respect to the first polyester resin layer, and a polyolefinic wax in an amount of 0.01% to 3.0% by mass with respect to the first polyester resin layer,
the second polyester resin layer is a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 22 mol %,
residual degrees of orientation of the first and the second polyester resin layers are less than 30%, and
the difference between the residual degrees of orientation of the first polyester resin layer and the residual degrees of orientation of the second polyester resin layer is an absolute value of equal to or less than 10%.

2. The laminated metal sheet for a two-piece can according to claim 1 , wherein a center line surface roughness Ra of a surface of the first polyester resin layer is within a range of 0.4 μm to 2.0 μm.

3. The laminated metal sheet for a two-piece can according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefinic wax is a low molecular weight wax with a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 1,000 to 10,000.

4. The laminated metal sheet for a two-piece can according to claim 1 , wherein polyethylene terephthalate polymer is a copolymer having a melting point temperature of 210° C. to 256° C.

5. The laminated metal sheet for a two-piece can according to claim 1 , wherein polybutylene terephthalate polymer is a copolymer having a melting point temperature of 180° C. to 223° C.

6. The laminated metal sheet for a two-piece can according to claim 1 , wherein the first polyester resin layer has a melting point temperature of 200° C. to 256° C.

7. A two-piece laminated can body, comprising:
a laminated metal sheet comprising:
a metal sheet;
a first polyester resin layer formed on a surface of the metal sheet, the surface forming an outer face side of a container after container formation; and
a second polyester resin layer formed on a surface of the metal sheet, the surface forming an inner face side of the container after container formation, wherein

the first polyester resin layer contains: a polyethylene terephthalate polymer with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 6 mol % in a ratio of 30% to 60% by mass with respect to the first polyester resin layer, a polybutylene terephthalate polymer with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 5 mol % in a ratio of 40% to 70% by mass with respect to the first polyester resin layer, and a polyolefinic wax in an amount of 0.01% to 3.0% by mass with respect to the first polyester resin layer,
the second polyester resin layer is a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate with a content of a copolymerized component of less than 22 mol %,
residual degrees of orientation of the first and the second polyester resin layers are less than 30%, and
the difference between the residual degrees of orientation of the first polyester resin layer and the residual degrees of orientation of the second polyester resin layer is an absolute value of equal to or less than 10%.

8. The two-piece laminated can body according to claim 7 , wherein a center line surface roughness Ra of a surface of the first polyester resin layer is within a range of 0.4 μm to 2.0 μm.

9. The two-piece laminated can body according to claim 7 , wherein the polyolefinic wax is a low molecular weight wax with a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 1,000 to 10,000.

10. The two-piece laminated can body according to claim 7 , wherein polyethylene terephthalate polymer is a copolymer having a melting point temperature of 210° C. to 256° C.
