Abstract

A resin-coated steel sheet for drawn-and-ironed cans and a method of producing the resin-coated steel sheet. The resin-coated steel sheet has a steel sheet with a tin-coat on each side and a resin layer of a first crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin on one of the tin-coats and a second non-crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin on the first crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin. The first crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin has an alloying ratio of: 50.ltoreq.alloying ratio <100. The second non-crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin has an alloying ratio of 0<alloying ratio <50. The method includes thermal fusion of a mixture of 95-5 percent by weight of a crystalline polyester resin and 5-95 percent of a non-crystalline polyester resin to produce the first crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin and the second non-crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin. The first crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin and the second non-crystalline thermoplastic polyester resin are coated onto the tin-coated steel sheet using two-layer extrusion T-die and then cooled quickly.
