An object, such as a container cover, is lined on a predefined area of the object by depositing powder on the predefined area. The lining material is formed into a non-spherical powder having a resting angle of 40 degrees or greater. The powder is deposited by fluidizing the powder in a feeder using vibration and conveying the powder through a nozzle to the predefined area. The powder layer deposited on the object is pressed with a molding element to form a lining layer having the predefined shape. The lining thus formed has a predefined thickness distribution and shape with good tightening and sealing properties and corrosion resistance. In addition, no environmentally unsafe processes are required for the precise deposition of powder.

Method for lining with powder

An aqueous paint which exhibits improved dispersion property in the water and dispersion stability, has a low viscosity enabling the painting operation to be efficiently carried out, and cures at low temperatures within short periods of time to form a coating which after cured exhibits high degree of workability, high corrosion resistance, and elutes out little into the content. The aqueous paint comprises an epoxy acrylate resin prepared by modifying, with a (meth)acrylic monomer, a copolymerized epoxy resin having a number average molecular weight of 8,000 to 15,000 and containing, as phenolic components, a bisphenol-A component and a bisphenol-F component at a molar ratio of from 5:5 to 8:2, and a curing agent of a thermosetting resin having a methylol group.

An adhesion structure in which the gel of an acrylic plastisol is strongly adhered to the metallic base material, featuring excellent resistance against corrosion and exhibiting small whitening tendency even under severe conditions for treatment with hot water such as retort processing, and a method of producing the same structure. The acrylic plastisol is applied onto the metallic base material or onto the metallic base material having an organic coating provided with a layer of a thermosetting resin which contains a bisphenol-type epoxy resin and a phenolic resin at a weight ratio of from 99:1 to 85:15, and is gelled by heating and is, at the same time, adhered to the base material via the thermosetting resin layer. The acrylic plastisol is gelled and is strongly adhered onto the thermosetting resin layer within short periods of time. The obtained adhesion structure exhibits excellent resistance against peeling, corrosion and retorting.

An acrylic resin plastisol composition that forms coatings or molded articles having excellent anticreep property. The plastisol composition maintains excellent fluidity required for the coating and molding even after preserved for extended periods of time and further exhibits excellent gelation property upon heating, enabling the obtained coating or the molded article to exhibit excellent resistance against the relaxation of stress. The plastisol composition comprises a dispersing medium composed chiefly of a plasticizer and acrylic resin grains dispersed in said dispersing medium, wherein said acrylic resin grains have a functional group selected from the group consisting of carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, epoxy group, methylol group and etherified methylol group, and said dispersing medium contains a crosslinking agent that has reactivity to said functional group in a state of being at least partly solubilized in said dispersing medium.

Process for preparation of thickness-reduced deep-draw-formed can

Thickness-reduced deep-draw-formed can

Disclosed is a packing can having a circumferential polyhedral wall formed on a can barrel, in which as compared with boundary ridgelines of structural unit faces of the polyhedral wall and crossing points of these boundary ridgelines, the structural unit faces are convex to the interior of the can and the structural unit faces are arranged so that adjacent rows of structural unit faces have a phase difference in the axial direction of the can. This packing can has a very high strength against deformation by application of the external pressure. Furthermore, in preparing this packing can, damage of a coating layer formed on a metal sheet used as the can barrel blank can be effectively prevented.

Disclosed is a process for the production of a covered deep-drawn can, which comprises subjecting a metal sheet covered with a thermoplastic resin to drawing and deep-drawing. By heat-treating the formed covered deep-drawn can at a temperature higher than the glass transition point of the thermoplastic resin covering but lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin covering, the corrosion resistance, heat resistance and denting resistance of the can are improved, and the adhesion of the resin covering to the metal sheet and the heat resistance of the resin covering to the metal sheet and the heat resistance of the resin covering are improved without degradation of film characteristics inherently possessed by the resin covering.

A metal vessel has a metal bottomed cup-shaped lower member and a metal cup-shaped upper member, the upper and lower members being bonded together by a circumferential side seam. The upper member has a pouring mouth having a small diameter in the central portion thereof. The metal vessel is formed by lap-bonding the circumferential open ends of both the upper and lower members. The side wall of the upper member is formed by subjecting a primer-coated tin-plated steel sheet to draw forming at a side wall plastic forming ratio R of from 1.1 to 1.8; the side wall plastic forming ratio R being defined by the following formula: ##EQU1## wherein W stands for the weight (g) of the blank of the upper member, t stands for the thickness (cm) of the blank of the upper member at the side wall, .rho. stands for the density (g/cm.sup.3) of the blank of the upper member, D.sub.0 stands for the inner diameter (cm) of pouring mouth of the upper member, and D.sub.1 stands for the average inner diameter (cm) of the side wall. In the circumferential bonded portion, the side wall of the lower member is bonded to the side wall of the upper member through an organic adhesive interposed between a primer coating applied to the side wall of the lower member and a primer coating applied to the side wall of the upper member. The bonding strength and resistance to leakage of the lap-bonded circumferential side seam are improved.
