Abstract

Provided is a resin-coated metal sheet for containers having a resin layer (A) on a side of the metal sheet, the side being a side that will serve as a container inner surface when the metal sheet is formed into a container. The resin layer (A) has a polyester-based multilayer structure. The resin layer (A) contains 85 mol % or more of terephthalic acid. The resin layer (A) includes at least two layers, and an uppermost resin layer (a1), which is to be in contact with contends, contains 0.10 to 2.0 mass % of a wax compound with respect to the uppermost resin layer (a1). The maximum value of the Raman band intensity ratio (I 1720 /I 1615 ) when measured for the cross section of the uppermost resin layer (a1) by using a laser polarization plane parallel to the surface of the resin layer (a1) is in the range of 0.45 or more and 0.80 or less. The uppermost resin layer (a1) has a thickness of 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less. The resin layer (A) excluding the uppermost resin layer (a1) has a thickness of 5 μm or more and 20 μm or less.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A resin-coated metal sheet for a container, comprising a metal sheet and a resin layer (A) having a multi-layer structure containing polyester as a main component on an inner-surface side of the container when the metal sheet is formed into a container, wherein
1) the resin layer (A) contains terephthalic acid in an amount of 85 mol % or more,
2) the resin layer (A) has at least two layers including an uppermost resin layer (a1) which comes in contact with contents and contains wax compound in an amount of 0.10 to 2.0 mass % with respect to the uppermost resin layer (a1), the wax compound containing carnauba wax;
3) a maximum value of a Raman band intensity ratio (I 1723 /I 1615 ) when measured for a cross section of the uppermost resin layer (a1) by using a laser polarization plane parallel to a surface of the resin layer (a1) is in a range of 0.45 or more and 0.80 or less;
4) the uppermost resin layer (a1) has a thickness of 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less; and
5) the resin layer (A) excluding the uppermost resin layer (a1) has a thickness of 5 μm or more and 20 μm or less.

2. The resin-coated metal sheet for a container according to claim 1 , further comprising a resin layer (B) having a multi-layer structure containing polyester as a main component on an outer-surface side of container when the metal sheet is formed into the container,
wherein a resin layer (b1), which is the resin layer (B) excluding an uppermost layer, contains titanium dioxide or a disazo organic pigment as a color pigment.

3. The resin-coated metal sheet for a container according to claim 2 , wherein
a resin in the resin layer (b1) is a composition derived by mixing a polyester (1) containing polyethylene terephthalate or copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate containing less than 6 mol % of copolymerization components and a polyester (2) containing polybutylene terephthalate or copolymerized polybutylene terephthalate containing less than 5 mol % of copolymerization components,
and
a content of the polyester (1) is 60 mass % or less and a content of the polyester (2) is 40 mass % or more.

4. The resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 3 , wherein the resin layer (B) contains 5.0 mass % or less of a wax compound with respect to the resin layer (B).

5. The resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 2 , wherein the resin layer (B) contains 5.0 mass % or less of a wax compound with respect to the resin layer (B).

6. The resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 5 , wherein the wax compound contains carnauba wax.

7. The resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 5 , wherein
an uppermost resin layer (b2) and the resin layer (b1), which is the resin layer (B) excluding the uppermost layer, or the uppermost resin layer (b2) in the resin layer (B) contains the wax compound; and
the uppermost resin layer (b2) contains 5.0 mass % or less of the wax compound with respect to the uppermost resin layer (b2).

8. The resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 7 , wherein the wax compound contains carnauba wax.

9. A method for manufacturing the resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 1 , comprising determining resin layer forming conditions such that a maximum value of a Raman band intensity ratio (I 1720 /I 1615 ) when measured for a cross section of an uppermost resin layer (a1) by using a laser polarization plane parallel to a surface of the resin layer (a1) is in a range of 0.45 or more and 0.80 or less.

10. A method for manufacturing the resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 2 , comprising determining resin layer forming conditions such that a maximum value of a Raman band intensity ratio (I 1720 /I 1615 ) when measured for a cross section of an uppermost resin layer (a1) by using a laser polarization plane parallel to a surface of the resin layer (a1) is in a range of 0.45 or more and 0.80 or less.

11. A method for manufacturing the resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 3 , comprising determining resin layer forming conditions such that a maximum value of a Raman band intensity ratio (I 1720 /I 1615 ) when measured for a cross section of an uppermost resin layer (a1) by using a laser polarization plane parallel to a surface of the resin layer (a1) is in a range of 0.45 or more and 0.80 or less.

12. A method for manufacturing the resin-coated metal sheet for containers according to claim 5 , comprising determining resin layer forming conditions such that a maximum value of a Raman band intensity ratio (I 1720 /I 1615 ) when measured for a cross section of an uppermost resin layer (a1) by using a laser polarization plane parallel to a surface of the resin layer (a1) is in a range of 0.45 or more and 0.80 or less.
