Pre-painted coil, also known as color-coated steel coil

31 Jul.,2025

Pre-painted coil, also known as color-coated steel coil, is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel, hot-dip aluminum-zinc steel, or electro-galvanized steel sheets. These substrates undergo surface pretreatment before being coated with one or multiple layers of organic paint, followed by baking and curing.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Pre-painted coil, also known as color-coated steel coil, is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel, hot-dip aluminum-zinc steel, or electro-galvanized steel sheets. These substrates undergo surface pretreatment before being coated with one or multiple layers of organic paint, followed by baking and curing. The resulting product is a durable, aesthetically appealing steel coil available in various colors, commonly referred to as Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron (PPGI) or color-coated steel coil.

INSPECTION STANDARD

 

To ensure high performance and durability, PPGI undergoes rigorous quality checks, including:

 

Surface Inspection – No bubbles, cracks, or scratches; smooth and uniform finish

 

Dimensional Accuracy – Compliance with specified thickness, width, and length tolerances

 

Mechanical Testing – Tensile strength, impact resistance, and hardness verification

 

Chemical Composition Analysis – Ensures material conformity to industry standards

 

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) – Ultrasonic and X-ray inspections to detect internal defects

 

Corrosion Resistance Testing – Salt spray and environmental exposure tests

 

Packaging & Labeling – Proper identification with product details (name, specifications, manufacturer)
