Abstract

A chromate-free coated metal sheet according to the present invention includes: a metal sheet; and a coating film α which contains an organic resin A as a film formation component and a flaky aluminum pigment C having a deactivation-treated surface on at least one surface of the metal sheet; wherein the thickness of the coating film α is in a range of 1.5 to 10 μm.

Claims (28)

1 . A chromate-free coated metal sheet including:

a metal sheet; and

a coating film α which contains an organic resin A as a film formation component and 7 to 40% by mass of a flaky aluminum pigment C having a deactivation-treated surface on at least one surface of the metal sheet,

wherein a surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with a film containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a phosphoric acid compound, a molybdic acid compound, and silica, or a two-layer film including a film containing an acrylic resin and a film containing a phosphoric acid compound;

a thickness of the coating film α is in a range of 1.5 to 10 μm;

a surface of the metal sheet is coated with the single coating film α; and

the amount of the aluminum pigment C in the coating film α is in a range of 10 to 20% by mass.

2 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the coating film α further contains silica particles D having an average particle diameter of 5 to 100 nm.

3 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter of the aluminum pigment C is in a range of 5 to 30 μm.

4 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the film containing silica.

5 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 4 , wherein an amount of the film containing silica film in the silica film-coated aluminum pigment C Si relative to 100% by mass of aluminum is in a range of 10 to 20% by mass in terms of Si.

6 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 4 , wherein a thickness of the film containing silica is in a range of 5 to 100 nm.

7 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the coating film α further contains polyolefin resin particles E having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 3 μm.

8 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 7 , wherein an amount of the polyolefin resin particles E in the coating film α is in a range of 0.5 to 5% by mass.

9 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the organic resin A is a resin cured by a curing agent B.

10 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the organic resin A contains a polyester resin Ae having a sulfonic acid group in its structure.

11 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 10 , wherein the organic resin A further contains a polyurethane resin having a carboxyl group and an urea group in its structure.

12 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a surface preparation layer β is included between the metal sheet and the coating film α.

13 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the metal sheet is a zinc-base plated steel sheet.

14 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet, wherein the coating film α in claim 1 is formed by coating and drying by heat a water-based coating composition X containing constituent components of the coating film α on at least one surface of the metal sheet.

15 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the film containing the phosphoric acid compound.

16 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the two-layer film including the film containing acrylic resin and the film containing the phosphoric acid compound.

17 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the film containing the phosphoric acid compound or silica.

18 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the film containing the phosphoric acid compound or the two-layer film including the film containing acrylic resin and the film containing the phosphoric acid compound.

19 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the film containing silica or the two-layer film including the film containing acrylic resin and the film containing the phosphoric acid compound.

20 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the film containing the phosphoric acid compound or silica, or the two-layer film including the film containing acrylic resin and the film containing the phosphoric acid compound.

21 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the aluminum pigment C is coated with the film containing the molybdic acid compound or the film containing silica.

22 . The chromate-free coated metal sheet according to claim 16 , wherein the amount of the film containing acrylic resin is in a range of 8 to 20% by mass relative to 100% by mass of aluminum and the amount of the film containing the phosphoric acid compound is in a range of 0.2 to 2.0% by mass relative to 100% by mass of aluminum.
