Abstract: A method for manufacturing a resin-coated metal sheet comprising: laminating two or more kinds of molten resins, to form a multilayer film; extruding the multilayer film through a multi-manifold die onto a metal sheet; wherein at least one kind of molten resin contains a coloring component; wherein said molten resins include a first resin having a high melt viscosity and a second resin having a low melt viscosity; wherein the multi-manifold die has plural resin passages through which plural resins pass; wherein the resin passage through which the first resin passes is maintained at a higher temperature than the resin passage through which the low melt viscosity resin passes; wherein the difference in melt viscosity of adjoining resin layers is 3,000 poises or less at a shear rate of 20 to 500 s?1; wherein the molten resin containing a coloring component has a melt tension Tm in the range of 0.5 g?1.

Abstract: Provided are a multilayer film with small surface unevenness, constructed from resin layers with different molten viscosities: a resin-coated metal plastic, formed by layering a multilayer resin film on a metal plate: a method reproducing a multilayer resin film by layering molten resins with different molten viscosities without forming unevenness on the surface of the film; and a method of producing a resin-coated metal plate. The difference in molten viscosities or adjacent resin layers is set to 3000 poise or lower at a shear rate of 20 to 500 s?1, with the temperature of an extruder, a manifold, and that part of a die which is adjacent to the manifold through which of these a resin with a high molten viscosity passes maintained higher than the temperature of an extruder, a manifold, and that part or a die which is adjacent to the manifold through which of these a resin with a low molten viscosity passes.

Abstract: A method for producing a multi-layer resin film, wherein a plurality of molten resins being different in the melt viscosity are laminated on the surface of a film containing at least one resin containing a coloring component without formation of irregularities; and a method for producing a metal sheet having a resin coating film which comprises laminating said film on a metal sheet.

Abstract: A method for producing a copolyester resin film laminated metal sheet having an excellent heat resistance which comprises laminated a biaxially oriented copolyester resin film having specified characteristics on one or both sides of a metal sheet coated with a single layer of hydrated chromium oxide or a double layer consisting of a lower layer of metallic chromium and an upper layer to hydrated chromium oxide which has been heated to a temperature of Tm-50.degree. C. to Tm, where Tm represents the melting temperature of said copolyester resin film.This copolyester resin film laminated metal sheet is suitable for the materials for can stock which is reheated for curing the coated lacquer or treated with hot steam for sterilization of food after packing food in the cans, such as deeply drawn cans, drawn and redrawn cans, can ends, screwed caps and crown caps.

Abstract: A copolyester resin film laminated metal sheet having excellent formability and a method for its production is disclosed. This disclosure comprises laminating a biaxially oriented copolyester resin film having specified characteristics, to one or both sides of a surface treated metal sheet, which has been heated to the melting point of the copolyester resin film .+-.50.degree. C., just before the lamination of the copolyester resin film. This film has been precoated with a resin composite containing in its molecular structure at least one radical, such as epoxy radical and hydroxyl radical. The side of the copolyester resin film pre-coated with resin composite is in contact with the surface treated metal sheet.
