It is intended to provide a metal can from which the contents packed
therein are easy to take out and which has been coated with a polyester
resin film for food or with a film for food which is made of a resin
consisting mainly of a polyester resin; a metal sheet which has been
coated with a surface-roughened resin film and is for use in the metal
can; a surface-roughened resin film for use in the metal sheet; and
processes for producing these. The surface-roughened resin film is one
which comprises a polyester resin and, incorporated therein, either
inorganic particles or a resin incompatible with the polyester resin,
e.g., a polyolefin resin, to thereby have a roughened surface.
Alternatively, the surface-roughened resin film is one obtained by
embossing a surface of a resin film. The surface-roughened resin film is
laminated to a metal sheet. Alternatively, a resin film which has not
undergone surface roughening is laminated to a metal sheet and this resin
film-coated metal sheet is embossed. The resultant resin film-coated
metal sheet is formed into a can by drawing or by drawing with ironing.
The surface roughness is thus enhanced.
