Galvanized Steel Coil

 

 

Galvalume Steel Coil

 
 
 

Color-coated galvanized steel coil (color-coated sheet/color steel sheet) is a metal material with a galvanized and painted surface. It has both corrosion resistance, decorativeness and durability. It is widely used in construction, home appliances, transportation and other fields.

 

Product characteristics

 

1. Corrosion resistance

- The substrate is galvanized steel (hot-dip galvanized or electro-galvanized), which provides bottom rust protection; the surface coating (polyester, silicon-modified polyester, PVDF, etc.) further isolates the corrosive medium.

2. Decorativeness

- It can be customized with a variety of colors (such as RAL color cards), gloss (high gloss, matte) and texture (wood grain, stone grain), which is beautiful.

3. Processing performance

- Easy to cut, bend, and stamp, suitable for cold processing (such as rolling and bending).

4. Weather resistance

- Special coatings (such as PVDF) are resistant to ultraviolet rays and will not fade or powder after long-term outdoor use.

5. Lightweight

- It is lighter than traditional building materials (such as concrete) and is easy to transport and install.

6. Environmental protection

- Some products can be recycled, and the coating can be treated with chrome-free environmental protection

- Decorative components: awnings, ceilings, billboards.

2. Home appliance industry

- Refrigerators, air conditioner housings, washing machine panels (high gloss or antibacterial coating required).

3. Transportation

- Carriage linings, ship partitions, container housings.

4. Furniture and office supplies

- File cabinets, display racks, partitions.

5. Others

Comparison of coating types

 

 

Coating material

Features

Applicable scenarios

*Polyester (PE)

Low cost, rich colors, general weather resistance

 Indoor, temporary buildings

Silicon modified polyester (SMP)

Weather resistance is better than PE, UV resistance

Moderate outdoor environment requirements

PVDF

 Super strong weather resistance (more than 20 years), high price

High-end buildings, seaside facilities

PVC plastisol

Thick coating, wear and corrosion resistance

Industrial plants, home appliance parts

 

Precautions

 

 

Selection suggestions:

-PVDF coating is preferred for outdoor environments, and high zinc layer substrates are required for corrosive environments (such as chemical plants).

Processing protection:

-Avoid scratches on the coating, and the incision needs to be rust-proof after cutting.

Storage requirements:

-Dry and ventilated to avoid water accumulation between layers causing white rust.
