Abstract

Provided is a chemical conversion agent that, with respect to an aluminum metal material, etc., contributes to superior corrosion and moisture resistance, contributes to superior adhesion with a laminate film, and contributes to superior hydrofluoric acid and alkali resistance. The chemical conversion agent includes: one or more type of metal element (A) selected from a group comprising of zirconium, titanium, and hafnium; vanadium element (B); and a resin (C). The resin (C) includes a polyvinyl alcohol resin (C1). The ratio (Wa/Wb) of the weight-based total content (Wa) of the metal element (A) relative to the weight-based content (Wb) of vanadium element (B) is 0.1-15, and the ratio ((Wa+Wb)/Wc1) of the weight-based total content (Wa+Wb) of the metal element (A) and the vanadium element (B) relative to the weight-based total content (Wc1) of the polyvinyl alcohol resin (C1) is 0.25-15.

Claims (18)

1. A chemical conversion agent comprising one, or two or more metal element(s) (A) selected from the group consisting of zirconium, titanium, and hafnium,

a vanadium element (B), and

a resin (C),

wherein the chemical coversion agent only includes, as the resin (C), a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (C1) consisting of at least one of polyvinyl alcohol and a derivative thereof, and one, or two or more metal ion-crosslinkable polymer(s) (C2),

wherein a polymerization degree of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (C1) is 500 to 1,100,

wherein the metal ion-crosslinkable polymer (C2) is one, or two or more polymer(s) selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, phosphoric acid polymer, phosphonic acid polymer, water-soluble or water-dispersible epoxy polymer, water-soluble or water-dispersible urethane-based polymer, and polyester,

wherein the value of a ratio (Wa/Wb) of the mass-based total content (Wa) of the metal element (A) to the mass-based content (Wb) of the vanadium element (B) is 0.1-15,

wherein the value of a ratio ((Wa+Wb)/Wc1) of the mass-based total content (Wa+Wb) of the metal element (A) and the vanadium element (B) to the mass-based total content (Wc1) of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (C1) is 0.25-15, and

wherein the value of a ratio (Wc2/(Wc1+Wc2)) of the mass-based total content (Wc2) of the metal ion-crosslinkable polymer (C2) to the mass-based total content (Wc1+Wc2) of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (C1) and the metal ion-crosslinkable polymer (C2) is 0.4 or less.

2. The chemical conversion agent according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the metal element (A) in the chemical conversion agent is 50-100,000 ppm by mass,

wherein the concentration of the vanadium element (B) is 50-100,000 ppm by mass,

wherein the total concentration of the resin (C) is 50-100,000 ppm by mass, and

wherein a pH is 0.5-6.5.

3. The chemical conversion agent according to claim 1 , wherein an average saponification degree of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (C1) is 80% or more.

4. The chemical conversion agent according to claim 1 , which further includes a surfactant.

5. The chemical conversion agent according to claim 1 , which is used for a surface treatment of an aluminum-based metal material.

6. A metal surface treatment method for treating a surface of a metal material, which comprises the steps of:

applying the chemical conversion agent according to claim 1 on the metal material, and drying the chemical conversion agent applied on the metal material.
