Abstract

A film-laminated metal plate having excellent retort adhesiveness includes: a metal plate; a resin film thermally fusion-bonded to a surface of the metal plate; and a bubble contained between the metal plate and the resin film. An average bubble height of three bubbles with higher heights among the bubbles measured by using a 3D analysis image of a laser microscope is 0 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less. The test piece is obtained by cutting a portion of one end side of the metal plate in a longitudinal direction while leaving the resin film on a side which becomes an inner surface side of the container when the film-laminated metal plate is processed into a container. When a retort treatment is carried out on the test piece at a temperature of 125° C. for 30 minutes in a state in which a 100 g weight is hung from the one end side of the test piece and the test piece is folded back toward the other end side of the test piece in the longitudinal direction by 180°, a length of the resin film peeled off from the metal plate of the test piece is 15 mm or less.

Claims (10)

1. A method of manufacturing a film-laminated metal plate having excellent retort adhesiveness, the method comprising:

pressure bonding a resin film against a metal plate heated to a temperature at or above a melting point of the resin film, the pressure bonding performed with a film laminate roll, the pressure bonding forming an intermediate film-laminated metal plate;

cooling the intermediate film-laminated metal plate to a temperature range of equal to or higher than a glass transition temperature Tg of the resin film and lower than a crystallization temperature Tc of the resin film, the cooling starting within 2.0 seconds after the pressure bonding; and

in the temperature range, winding the intermediate film-laminated metal plate over at least three rolls in a length range of 20% to 55% in terms of roll circumferential length ratio for each roll of the at least three rolls, and passing the intermediate film-laminated metal plate over the at least three rolls at a passing tension of of 20 to 60 N/mm 2 to form the film-laminated metal plate.

2. The method for manufacturing the film-laminated metal plate having excellent retort adhesiveness according to claim 1 ,

wherein the passing tension is 40 to 60 N/mm 2 .

3. The method for manufacturing the film-laminated metal plate having excellent retort adhesiveness according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least one of the at least three rolls has a diameter ranging from 200 to 600 mm.

4. The method for manufacturing the film-laminated metal plate having excellent retort adhesiveness according to claim 2 ,

wherein at least one of the at least three rolls has a diameter ranging from 200 to 600 mm.
