What Is Prepainted Galvanized Steel Coil

Release time:2025-03-26

Prepainted Galvanized Steel Coil (ppgi) is a high-performance steel product that combines the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel with a durable, pre-applied paint coating. Here’s a breakdown of its features and uses:

1.Composition & Manufacturing Process:

  1. Base Material – Cold-rolled steel coil.

  2. Galvanization – Coated with a layer of zinc (hot-dip galvanized or electro-galvanized) for rust protection.

  3. Chemical Treatment – A passivation layer (e.g., chromate or phosphate) is applied to enhance paint adhesion.

  4. Primer & Paint Coating – Multiple layers (primer, topcoat, and sometimes a backer coat) are applied via a continuous coil coating line, followed by baking for durability.

  5. Protective Film – A removable plastic film may cover the surface to prevent scratches during transport.


2.Key Features:

  • Corrosion Resistance – Zinc layer protects against rust.

  • Aesthetic Appeal – Available in various colors, gloss levels, and textures.

  • Durability – Resistant to UV rays, weathering, and scratches.

  • Formability – Can be bent, stamped, or rolled without cracking the paint.

  • Cost-Effective – Pre-painting eliminates the need for post-fabrication painting.


3.Common Applications:

  • Roofing & Wall Cladding – Used in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings.

  • Appliances – Refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners.

  • Automotive Parts – Interior panels and trim components.

  • HVAC Ducts & Electrical Enclosures – Combines protection with a finished look.

  • Metal Furniture & Signage – Provides a decorative, long-lasting surface.


4.Advantages Over Traditional Painted Steel:

✔ Uniform Coating – Factory-applied paint ensures consistent quality.
✔ Faster Installation – No on-site painting required.
✔ Eco-Friendly – Reduced VOC emissions compared to wet painting.


5.Standards & Grades:

Common standards include ASTM A755 (for prepainted steel) and EN 10169. Thickness typically ranges from 0.2mm to 1.5mm, with coatings measured in microns (e.g., 20-25μm paint layer).
