Abstract

Laminated steel having a low interface bubble rate, comprising: a substrate with a surface roughness of 0.15-0.25 μm and a modified flexible polyester film thermally laminated onto the surface of the substrate. The modified flexible polyester film is obtained by copolymerization modification of ethylene terephthalate with a low-molecular-weight aliphatic polyester. A method for manufacturing the laminated steel having an extremely low interface bubble rate, comprising the steps of: (1) preheating and then heating the substrate; (2) uncoiling the modified flexible polyester film at room temperature, and then thermally laminating same onto the substrate; and (3) cooling and squeeze-drying. The laminated steel having a low interface bubble rate is made of the substrate with a low surface roughness and the modified flexible polyester thermally laminated onto the surface of the substrate, so that the laminated steel has the low interface bubble rate, high product surface quality, excellent adhesion property, and is applicable for forming into deep-drawn containers.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A film-laminated steel comprising: a substrate having a surface roughness of 0.15-0.25 μm and a modified flexible polyester film thermally laminated to a surface of the substrate, wherein the modified flexible polyester film is obtained by copolymerization modification of ethylene terephthalate with a hydroxy-terminated low-molecular-weight aliphatic polyester.

2. The film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , wherein the hydroxy-terminated low-molecular-weight aliphatic polyester has a molar percentage of 6-17%.

3. The film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , wherein the hydroxy-terminated low-molecular-weight aliphatic polyester has a molecular weight of 500-3000.

4. The film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , wherein the hydroxy-terminated low-molecular-weight aliphatic polyester is prepared from an aliphatic diol and an aliphatic diprotic acid.

5. The film-laminated steel according to claim 4 , wherein the aliphatic diol is selected from the group consisting of propanediol, butanediol, pentanediol, hexanediol, and neopentanediol.

6. The film-laminated steel according to claim 4 , wherein the aliphatic diprotic acid is selected from the group consisting of oxalic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, decane dicarboxylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and dimer acid.

7. The film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a tin-plated substrate or a chrome-plated substrate.

8. The film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , wherein the film-laminated steel has an interface bubble rate of 2-7%.

9. The film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , wherein the modified flexible polyester film has a mono-layer or multi-layer structure.

10. The film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the modified flexible polyester film to be laminated to the substrate has a surface tension of ≥45 dyne.

11. A manufacturing method for the film-laminated steel according to claim 1 , comprising steps:
(1) preheating a substrate and then heating it;
(2) uncoiling a modified flexible polyester film at room temperature, and then laminating the film to the substrate; and
(3) cooling and squeeze-drying.

12. The manufacturing method according to claim 11 , wherein in step (1), an induction heater is first used to preheat the substrate to 60-80% of a target film-laminating temperature, and then an induction heating roll is used to heat the substrate to the target film-laminating temperature.

13. The manufacturing method according to claim 11 , wherein the target film-laminating temperature is 180-270° C.

14. The manufacturing method according to claim 12 , wherein in step (2), an angle at which the modified flexible polyester film enters a roll gap between film-laminating rolls is controlled in the range of 30-70° C.

16. The manufacturing method according to claim 11 , wherein in step (3), during cooling, the film-laminated steel is quickly cooled by spraying water, and then the film-laminated steel is immersed in a water quenching tank for cooling.

17. The manufacturing method according to claim 11 , wherein the hydroxy-terminated low-molecular-weight aliphatic polyester of the film-laminated steel has a molar percentage of 6-17%, or a molecular weight of 500-3000.

18. The manufacturing method according to claim 11 , wherein the hydroxy-terminated low-molecular-weight aliphatic polyester is prepared from an aliphatic diol and an aliphatic diprotic acid, wherein the aliphatic diol is selected from the group consisting of propanediol, butanediol, pentanediol, hexanediol, and neopentanediol, and the aliphatic diprotic acid is selected from the group consisting of oxalic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, decane dicarboxylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and dimer acid.

19. The manufacturing method according to claim 11 , wherein the substrate is a tin-plated substrate or a chrome-plated substrate, the film-laminated steel has an interface bubble rate of 2-7%, the modified flexible polyester film has a mono-layer or multi-layer structure, and/or a surface of the modified flexible polyester film to be laminated to the substrate has a surface tension of ≥45 dyne.
