Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for surface coating a plane metal substrate, to a laminated assembly, and to a product comprising the laminated assembly.
  • Coil coating is a continuous and highly automated industrial process for efficiently coating coils of metal.
  • the definition of a coil coating process according to EN 10169 : 2010 is a “process in which an (organic or inorganic) coating material is applied on rolled metal strip in a continuous process which includes cleaning, if necessary, and chemical pre-treatment of the metal surface and either one-side or two-side, single or multiple application of (liquid) paints or coating powders which are subsequently cured or/and laminating with permanent plastic films”.
  • the metal substrate normally steel or aluminum
  • Coil weights vary from 5-6 tons for aluminum and up to about 25 tons for steel.
  • the coil is positioned at the beginning of the line, then unwound at a constant speed, passing through the various pre-treatment and coating processes before being recoiled.
  • Two strip accumulators may be placed at the beginning and the end of the line enabling the work to be continuous. This allows new coils to be added (and finished coils removed) by a metal stitching or welding process without having to slow down or stop the line.
  • Coil coated metal is more durable and more corrosion-resistant than post painted metal.
  • the metal is cut and then formed to its final shape in cold bending processes.
  • sheets of coated metal may be cut from the coil by cutting the unwound metal in an axial direction.
  • the metal coil may first be slitted into narrower rolls before sheets of the coated metal are cut from the coil by cutting the metal in sheets in an axial direction. Not all coatings or paints are suitable for use in coil coating.
  • coatings and/or paints may be applied in the process, not all coatings are suitable for use in cold bending processes. Some materials may deform, resulting in visible and invisible faults, such as stress whitening, cracking and/or micro cracking. These faults do not only result in unsatisfactory aesthetics, but also reduce the protective properties of the films, e.g. resulting in premature corrosion. Care should be taken to utilize suitable materials.
  • pre-coated metal is used in a variety of products. It can be formed for many different applications, including those with T bends, without loss of coating quality.
  • Major industries use pre-coated metal in products such as building panels (also known as fagade elements), metal roofs, wall panels, garage doors, office furniture (desks, cubicle divider panels, file cabinets, modular cabinets, etc.), home appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers, freezers, range hoods, microwave ovens, washers, dryers, etc.), heating and air-conditioning outer panels and ductwork, commercial appliances, vending machines, foodservice equipment, cooking tins, beverage cans, and automotive panels and parts (fuel tanks, body panels, bumpers, etc.).
  • the list continues to grow, with new industries making the switch from post-painted to precoated processes each year.
  • the coating may be built up in a number of paint layers.
  • the end product may further be protected with a strippable film
  • Backing coats are applied to the underside (reverse side) of the metal strip (i.e. plane metal substate) with or without the use of a primer.
  • the coating is generally not as thick as the finish coating used for exterior applications.
  • Backing coats are generally not exposed to corrosive environments and not visible in the end application.
  • the steel which may comprise an anticorrosive primer
  • the steel can be laminated with a film onto a suitable adhesive in order to form a laminated assembly.
  • a widely used technology is laminating a PVC (poly vinyl chloride) film on top of the metal coil substrate by use of a polyester based adhesive.
  • Such PVC precoated steel may be used in wall panels for interior applications.
  • interior wall panels in public transportation and other unsupervised public locations are often subject to vandalism such as graffiti spraying.
  • materials used in public transportation should meet very stringent standards related to VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions and fire resistance. At the same time, pleasing aesthetics are required. Corrosion resistance of the underlying metal is also important.
  • PVC precoated steel are not optimal for such applications.
  • a disadvantage of PVC is its lower solvent resistance.
  • PVC may suffer from alteration of gloss, such as reduced gloss, after it has been processed at high temperatures, such as the high temperatures used in coil coating.
  • US 2023/107134 A1 discloses coil coating of a film comprising a base acrylic layer onto a metal substrate with a polyester based adhesive.
  • JPH 03126543 A discloses a traditional lamination process involving a steel sheet and PVC.

  • the invention further provides for a laminated assembly obtainable by the method.
  • a laminated assembly thus preferably comprises at least three layers in the following order: metal, PVC, and PVF.
  • an adhesive layer is preferably present.
  • such a laminated assembly comprises, in the following order:
  • the invention relates to a surface coated metal substrate, comprising:
  • the adhesive layer, the PVC layer, the laminate adhesive layer and/or the PVF layer of the invention contain less than 100 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm, most preferably less than 1 ppm plasticizers with a molecular weight lower than 5000 g/mol.
  • each layer of the layered laminate of the invention contains less than 100 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm, most preferably less than 1 ppm plasticizers with a molecular weight lower than 5000 g/mol.
  • the invention further provides for a product comprising the laminated assembly.
  • the product is an interior decorative surface panel.
  • the method according to the invention is preferably performed in a coil coating line.
  • the coil may have a width of maximally 1.8 m, typically about 1.0 to 1.5 m.
  • the plane metal substrate preferably has a thickness of between 0.17 mm to 3.0 mm. At these thicknesses, the metal can suitably be treated by a coil coating process such as the method according to the invention. More preferably, the plane metal substrate, i.e. metal strip, has a thickness of between 0.30 mm and 1.50 mm, as this is the optimal thickness for a coil coating process.
  • the plane metal substrate has a thickness of between 0.4 and 0.8 mm, as this is the optimum thickness for use in a decorative surface panel, providing the best balance between ease of processing, weight of the decorative surface panel and strength of the decorative surface panel.
  • the plane metal substrate may for example be aluminum, or steel.
  • the steel may be galvanized on one or both surfaces, i.e. comprising a layer of zinc on one or both surfaces.
  • a zinc layer may be 1 - 10 pm, such as 2 - 9 pm.
  • at least the top surface, i.e. the surface to be coated with the layered laminated, is galvanized.
  • the laminated assembly may be processed, i.e. cut, in slit coils or plane sheets.
  • slitting to produce slit coils: log slitting and rewind slitting.
  • log slitting the coil is treated as a whole (the 'log') and one or more slices are taken from it without an unrolling/re-reeling process.
  • rewind slitting the web is unwound and run through a machine, passing through knives or lasers, before being rewound on one or more shafts to form narrower rolls.
  • Sheets may be formed by further cutting the rolled metal strip forming the coil or the slit coil in the desired dimensions.
  • the metal is cut and then formed to its final shape in cold bending processes.
  • sheets of coated metal may be cut from the coil by cutting the unwound metal in an axial direction. If the metal coil was first slitted into narrower rolls, sheets of the coated metal are often cut from the coil by cutting the metal in sheets in a radial direction.
  • the plane metal substrate may optionally be pre-treated, for example by degreasing, optionally followed by washing, rinsing, passivation and drying, and/or pre-treatment may comprise chemical pre-treatment based on chrome VI, chrome III or a chrome free passivant.
  • chrome free passivants are titanium and/or zirconium compounds, particularly complex fluorides of these elements.
  • a metal substrate primer i.e. a primer applied on the plane metal substrate, preferably on the top surface of the plane metal substrate
  • An anticorrosive primer is however not necessary.
  • the method according to the invention does not comprise application of an anticorrosive primer onto the top surface of the plane metal substrate.
  • the adhesive layer is preferably applied onto the plane metal substrate without application of an anticorrosive primer onto the top surface of the plane metal substrate and the adhesive layer is applied directly to the plane metal substrate.
  • Coil coated metal, or pre-coated metal is more durable and more corrosion-resistant than post coated metal.
  • PVC may be flexible or rigid.
  • Flexible PVC typically comprises a plasticizer
  • rigid PVC is PVC that does not contain a plasticizer, or only contains a small amount of plasticizer (e.g. less than 100 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm, most preferably less than 1 ppm).
  • Plasticizers or dispersants are additives that increase the plasticity or decrease the viscosity of a material. These are the substances, which are added in order to alter the physical properties of a material, and they are either liquids with low volatility or solids. They decrease the attraction between polymer chains to make them more flexible. Over the last 60 years, more than 30,000 different substances have been evaluated for their plasticizing properties. Of these, only a small number - approximately 50 - are in commercial use today.
  • plasticizers are typically low molecular weight compounds, although polymeric plasticizers exist as well. Nevertheless, plasticizers typically have a molecular weight lower than 5000 g/mol. Over time, low molecular weight plasticizers may migrate through the layers and evaporate. This results in porosity, brittleness and shrinking of the film. In turn, this leads to decreased aesthetics and to corrosion of the underlying metal.
  • the PVC of the invention contains less than 100 ppm, preferably less than 10 ppm, most preferably less than 1 ppm plasticizers with a molecular weight lower than 5000 g/mol.
  • rigid PVC has a lower permeability to water vapor because no plasticizers are present in the rigid PVC.
  • the PVC used in the invention is rigid PVC.
  • the PVC may contain impact modifiers. Impact modifiers are added to plastic materials to improve their durability and toughness.
  • Impact modifiers are generally polymeric compounds. Examples are MBS (methyl butadiene styrene) polymers and polyacrylics.
  • the PVC comprises a polyacrylic impact modifier, as it has been found that PVC with a polyacrylic impact modifier has better UV-light resistance.
  • the PVC film has a thickness of between 70 and 250 pm, preferably of between 90 and 180 pm, most preferably of between 100 and 135 pm.
  • PVC is very resistant to acids and bases. PVC is also inherently fire resistant. PVC may further comprise pigments, which is beneficial for aesthetic purposes. Preferably, the PVC film comprises one or more pigments. Suitable pigments are for example metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide, or organic pigments. Common types of organic pigments can include azo pigments, lake pigments, phthalocyanine pigments and quinacridone pigments. A disadvantage of PVC is its lower solvent resistance. Also, PVC may suffer from alteration of gloss, such as reduced gloss, after it has been processed at high temperatures, such as the high processing temperatures used during coil coating, which are typically between 130 - 250 °C, such as between 200 - 250 °C.
  • the layered laminate further comprises a laminate adhesive layer for bonding the PVC film to the PVF film, and an optional ink layer between the PVC and the laminate adhesive layer.
  • an ink pattern may be applied on the PVC layer, thereby making it possible to apply a wide range of aesthetic images.
  • the ink pattern does not need to fully cover the PVC layer, as a printed design may comprise unprinted areas.
  • the ink layer partially or at least partially covers the PVC layer.
  • the ink layer may be applied by rotographic printing.
  • the laminate adhesive layer comprises an acrylic adhesive.
  • the acrylic adhesive may be a copolymer. Suitable adhesives are for example Tedlar 68070 and Tedlar 68080 from DuPont. Solvent resistance and gloss are provided by the PVF (polyvinyl fluoride) film. Due to the PVF layer, the coated metal substrate is very easy to clean, and has very appealing aesthetics. The PVF layer retains its gloss during coil coating.
  • PVF polyvinyl fluoride
  • the PVF film has a total thickness of between 6 and 50 pm, more preferably of between 8 and 32 pm, most preferably of between 10 and 20 pm.
  • Polymeric films with a thickness of less than 300 pm have a very low, but inherent risk of comprising through-holes. Due to the presence of two polymeric films on the metal substrate, the danger of holes in a single film leading to attack of the metal substrate through such a hole by water or chemicals is largely avoided. The chances of a hole in the PVC layer and a hole in the PVF layer overlapping, leading to a path from the outer surface to the metal is close to 0%.
