  • Patent number: 6551434
    Abstract: A method of producing an extrusion-laminated member comprises extruding a thermoplastic resin from a T-die into the form of a film and laminating the film on a heated metallic base member using a pair of laminating rolls, wherein a pre-roll is disposed between the T-die and one of the laminating rolls to receive the film on the side opposite to the side that adheres onto the base member over the whole width of the film. The film is wound on the pre-roll at an angle (&agr;) of from 10 to 90 degrees. The film received by the pre-roll is fed to the laminating rolls, conveyed by being supported by the laminating rolls on the side opposite to the side that adheres onto the base member, and is fed to a nipping position so as to be melt-adhered onto the heated metallic base member.

  • Publication number: 20010031327
    Abstract: A resin-coated seamless can satisfying such properties as high degree of workability, adhesiveness of film, resistance against high temperatures and wet heated condition, corrosion resistance and resistance against being dented. The resin-coated seamless can is formed of a resin-coated metal plate having substantially unoriented two layers including a surface layer and a lower layer serving as a resin layer on the inner surface side of the can, wherein the surface layer comprises a polyethylene terephthalate/isophthalate containing an isophthalic acid in an amount of from 3 to 13 mol % and having an intrinsic viscosity [&eegr;] of not smaller than 0.7, and the lower layer comprises a polyethylene terephthalate/isophthalate containing the isophthalic acid in an amount of from 8 to 25 mol %, which is larger than that of the surface layer, and having an intrinsic viscosity [&eegr;] of not smaller than 0.
