Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of production and manufacturing of composite films, and in particular relates to a method for manufacturing a cover film for sealing a high-temperature boiled aluminum ring. Background Art

[0002] POE (Peel Off End) is the abbreviation for the easy-open system for metal containers. POE metal easy-open systems typically consist of two parts: an aluminum ring and a composite film cover. The manufacturer of the metal easy-open system seals the aluminum ring and the composite film cover into a complete easy-open lid. The terminal canning plant then seals the metal container below with the easy-open lid during canning.

[0003] The composite cover film used in the above-mentioned POE metal easy-open system is traditionally produced through an extrusion lamination process, with a structure of "protective varnish-ink-AL-PP". This production method and cover film structure have problems such as a single printing pattern, poor anti-scratch effect, complex production, and poor cover film toughness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the traditional production method, the present invention provides another different method for producing a cover film for sealing a high-temperature steamed aluminum ring, which comprises the following steps:

[0005] S1. Perform gravure printing on the PET film layer at a printing speed of 250-300 m / min;

[0006] S2. The printed PET film roll is placed in the first unwinding unit of the dry laminating equipment for unwinding. Glue is applied to the printed surface of the PET film layer and dried in an oven. The AL roll is then placed in the second unwinding unit of the dry laminating equipment for unwinding and rewound with the glued surface of the printed PET film layer to obtain the first dry laminating semi-finished product of "PET film layer-INK ink layer-AL layer";

[0007] S3. The first dry-laminated semi-finished product obtained in step S2 is then re-placed in the first unwinding unit of the dry-laminated equipment for unwinding. Glue is applied to the AL layer of the first dry-laminated semi-finished product and oven-dried. The corona-treated NY roll is then placed in the second unwinding unit of the dry-laminated equipment for unwinding. This roll is then rewound together with the glued surface of the first dry-laminated semi-finished product to produce a second dry-laminated semi-finished product with a structure of "PET film layer - INK ink layer - AL layer - NY layer".

[0008] S4. Repeatedly place the second dry-laminated semi-finished product on the first unwinding unit of the dry-laminated equipment for unwinding. Glue is applied to the NY layer of the second dry-laminated semi-finished product and oven-dried. The corona-treated PP film roll is then placed on the second unwinding unit of the dry-laminated equipment for unwinding. The roll is then rewound together with the glued surface of the second dry-laminated semi-finished product to produce a cover film having a structure of "PET film layer - INK ink layer - AL layer - NY layer - PP film layer."

[0009] S5. The cover film with the complete structure in step S4 is subjected to a curing treatment to obtain the final product.

[0010] Preferably, the ratio of the main agent of the glue: the curing agent: ethyl acetate is 8:1:8, the main agent is polyester resin, and the curing agent is polyisocyanate; the viscosity of the glue is controlled at 20-30S (2# Chan cup), and the amount of glue is controlled at 4-6g / m 2 .

[0011] Preferably, the oven includes three drying zones, the temperature of the first drying zone of the oven is controlled to be 80-90°C, the temperature of the second drying zone of the oven is controlled to be 90-95°C, and the temperature of the third drying zone of the oven is controlled to be 105-115°C.

[0012] Preferably, the unwinding tension of the first unwinding unit of the dry laminating equipment is controlled to be 7-8 kg, the unwinding tension of the second unwinding unit of the dry laminating equipment is controlled to be 17-19 kg, and the composite winding tension is controlled to be 47-49 kg.

[0013] Preferably, in step S5, the aging conditions are 45-55° C. and 4-6 days.

[0014] Preferably, the thickness of the PET film layer is 7-9 μm, the thickness of the INK ink layer is 1-3 μm, the thickness of the AL layer is 58-62 μm, the thickness of the NY layer is 13-17 μm, and the thickness of the PP film layer is 48-52 μm.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The present application describes a method for producing a cover film for sealing high-temperature retorted aluminum rings. The method combines various layers of material through a dry lamination process, resulting in a cover film having a "PET film layer - INK ink layer - AL layer - NY layer - PP film layer" structure. Compared to the traditional method of flexographic printing on the AL layer, this method prints on the PET film layer first, enabling the printing of multi-color, complex patterns. The PET outer layer of the cover film produced by this method has better scratch resistance than the surface varnish of traditional cover films. Compared to traditional extrusion lamination processes, this dry lamination process reduces production complexity and enables more flexible and convenient production. Furthermore, the present application's dry lamination process successfully introduces a NY layer into the cover film, thereby improving the overall toughness of the cover film and preventing the cover film tab from easily breaking when removed.
