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

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.
