Abstract

A heat sealed lid includes: a resin laminate aluminum foil; and a first seamed side frame portion and a second seamed side frame portion formed of a resin film laminate metal sheet, in which the resin film laminate metal sheet includes a metal sheet, a laminate film formed on one surface of the metal sheet, and a second resin film formed on the other surface of the metal sheet and containing a thermoplastic polyester resin, the laminate film includes an adhesion layer containing a polypropylene-based resin and a polyethylene-based resin and a base layer containing a modified polypropylene-based resin, an amount of the polyethylene-based resin in the adhesion layer is 1.0 mass % or more and 45.0 mass % or less of the resins of the adhesion layer, the melting point of the second resin film is higher than the melting point of the adhesion layer by 40° C. or more and is higher than the heating temperature of a heat sealing tool, the thickness of the adhesion layer is 1.0 μm or more and 15.0 μm or less, and the thickness of the base layer is 1.0 μm or more and 18.0 μm or less.

Claims (24)

1. A heat sealed lid comprising:

a laminated foil including an aluminum foil and a first resin film formed from a polyolefin-based resin covering one surface of the aluminum foil; and

a laminated metal sheet, where the laminated foil and the laminated metal sheet are heat sealed to one another;

the laminated metal sheet includes

a first contact region in contact with the first resin film,

a first seamed side frame portion on one end side of the first contact region,

a second seamed side frame portion on an other end side of the first contact region, and

an opening,

where the second seamed side frame portion is an upward-curl formed along the perimeter of said opening;

the laminated metal sheet in the first contact region includes

a second resin film formed from a thermoplastic polyester resin,

a metal sheet covering one surface of the second resin film, and

a laminate film covering one surface of the metal sheet on the side of the metal sheet opposite the second resin film, wherein the laminate film includes

a base layer which contains a maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene-based resin and is disposed on and in direct contact with the metal sheet,

an adhesion layer which is disposed on one side of the base layer and is in direct contact with and heat sealed to the first resin film, and

one or more intermediate layers between the adhesion layer and the base layer;

where the adhesion layer contains a first polypropylene-based resin and a polyethylene based resin, and an amount of the polyethylene-based resin in the adhesion layer is 1.0 mass % or more and 45.0 mass % or less of a total resin amount in the adhesion layer;

a melting point of the second resin film is 200° C. or higher and 300° C. or lower, and higher than a melting point of the adhesion layer by 40° C. or more;

a thickness of the adhesion layer is 1.0 μm or more and 15.0 μm or less;

a thickness of the base layer is 1.0 μm or more and 18.0 μm or less; and

the second seamed side frame portion defines a second contact region in which the first resin film of the laminated foil and the second resin film of the laminated metal sheet are in direct contact with each other, but are not fused together.

2. The heat sealed lid according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more intermediate layers contains a second polypropylene-based resin.

3. A can comprising the heat sealed lid according to claim 1 .

4. A can comprising the heat sealed lid according to claim 2 .
