  • Patent number: 6383649
    Abstract: A resin-coated metal sheet in which at least one surface is overlaid by a paint layer E, a modified olefin resin layer D of 5 to 100 microns thickness, a pattern or/and solid decorative layer C, an adhesive layer B, and a transparent polyester resin film A of 5 to 10 microns thickness. The modified polyolefin resin layer provided between the transparent polyester resin film and the metal sheet has excellent adhesiveness against the decorative layer, the paint layer and the polyesters resin film so that delamination of the resin-coated metal sheet does not occur even in the case in which the resin-coated metal sheet is formed under severe conditions such as deep drawing. The modified polyolefin layer absorbs any unevenness of the component layers so that the resin-coated metal sheet exhibits excellent reflectivity.

  • Patent number: 6235399
    Abstract: In a resin-coated metal sheet, at least one surface of a metal sheet 10 as a base sheet is overlaid by a transparent polyester resin film A of 5 to 100 &mgr;m thickness through a paint layer E, a modified olefin resin layer D of 5 to 100 &mgr;m thickness, a pattern or/and solid printing layer C and an adhesive layer B which layers are put one over another in order from the side of the metal sheet toward the transparent polyester resin film. Since the modified olefin resin layer which is provided in between the transparent polyester resin film and the metal sheet has the excellent adhesiveness against the printing layer, the paint layer and the polyester resin film, even if the resin-coated metal sheet is formed under the severe condition against the resin-coated metal sheet, for instance, by deep drawing, delamination does not occur so that the excellent workable adhesion strength is shown.

  • Patent number: 4517255
    Abstract: A method for the production of a metal sheet covered with polyester resin film which comprises laminating a polyester resin film which is preferably crystalline and oriented onto a metal sheet having a lower layer of metallic chromium and an upper layer of hydrated chromium oxide, which sheet has been heated to a temperature above the melting point of polyester resin film and then immediately quenching. This metal sheet covered with polyester resin film is excellent in corrosion resistance and formability.
