Abstract

A surface-treated aluminum plate obtained by forming, on at least one surface of an aluminum plate, a conversion-coated layer that contains a polyester resin and a zirconium compound or a titanium compound. The surface-treated aluminum plate excellently adheres to an organic resin coating and can be used as a material for producing cans featuring excellent corrosion resistance and shock resistance.

Claims (15)

1 . A surface-treated aluminum plate obtained by forming, on at least one surface of an aluminum plate, a conversion-coated layer that contains a polyester resin and a zirconium compound or a titanium compound.

2 . The surface-treated aluminum plate according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio C/M of the amount C of carbon and the amount M of zirconium or titanium in said conversion-coated layer lies in a range of 1 to 80.

3 . The surface-treated aluminum plate according to claim 1 , wherein said conversion-coated layer contains a polycarboxylic acid.

4 . The surface-treated aluminum plate according to claim 3 , wherein said conversion-coated layer contains a metal chelate complex that comprises aluminum ions, zirconium ions or titanium ions and the polycarboxylic acid.

5 . The surface-treated aluminum plate according to claim 1 , wherein said conversion-coated layer contains a particulate component.

6 . The surface-treated aluminum plate according to claim 3 , wherein the ratio C/M of the amount C of carbon and the amount M of zirconium or titanium lies in a range of 1 to 40 in said conversion-coated layer.

7 . The surface-treated aluminum plate according to claim 5 , wherein said particulate component comprises water-dispersible crosslinked particles of a copolymer of a methyl poly(meth)acrylate or a copolymer of a methyl poly(meth)acrylate and a poly(meth)acrylic acid, or comprises particles of an inorganic silica compound.

8 . The surface-treated aluminum plate according to claim 5 , wherein said particulate component has a particle size in a range of 1 to 200 nm.

9 . An organic resin-coated surface-treated aluminum plate obtained by forming an organic resin coating on the conversion-coated layer of the surface-treated aluminum plate of claim 1 .

10 . A can body formed from the organic resin-coated surface-treated aluminum plate of claim 9 .

11 . A can lid formed from the organic resin-coated surface-treated aluminum plate of claim 9 .

12 . A surface-treating solution for treating the surface of an aluminum plate by a conversion treatment, the surface-treating solution containing a water-dispersible polyester resin and fluorine ions, zirconium ions or titanium ions.

13 . The surface-treating solution according to claim 12 , wherein said polyester resin is contained in an amount of 100 to 10,000 ppm, and said zirconium ions or said titanium ions are contained in an amount of 5 to 5,000 ppm.

14 . The surface-treating solution according to claim 12 , wherein a polycarboxylic acid and/or a water-dispersible particulate component is contained.

15 . The surface-treating solution according to claim 14 , wherein said polyester resin is contained in an amount of 500 to 10,000 ppm, said water-dispersible particulate component is contained in an amount of 100 to 3,000 ppm, said polycarboxylic acid is contained in an amount of 5 to 2,000 ppm, and said zirconium ions or said titanium ions are contained in an amount of 5 to 5,000 ppm.
