Steel Coil & Strip & Color Coated Steel Coil,Z80/Z120/Z180/Z275,AZ100/AZ150
1. Product Definition
Color Coated Coil (also known as color steel coil/color plate) takes hot-dip galvanized steel (GI), galvalume steel (GL), zinc-aluminum-magnesium coated steel (ZAM) or cold-rolled steel (CR) as the base substrate. Through degreasing, cleaning and chemical conversion treatment, it is coated with one or more layers of organic coating by continuous roller coating process, then baked and cured at high temperature to form a metal composite material. It integrates the strength of steel, anti-corrosion performance and decorative effect of coating, also named pre-painted steel coil.
2. Product Structure (Five Layers)
Base Substrate: Provides mechanical strength and basic anti-corrosion performance; mainstream materials and models: GI (hot-dip galvanized steel), GL (galvalume steel, 55%Al+43.4%Zn+1.6%Si), ZAM (zinc-aluminum-magnesium coated steel), CR (cold-rolled steel). Common substrate specifications: thickness 0.30–1.20mm, width 1000/1200/1250/1500mm.
Chemical Conversion Layer: Material: Chromate-free passivation layer (environmentally friendly type) or chromate passivation layer; acts as a bonding bridge between substrate and coating, improving adhesion and corrosion resistance. Thickness: 0.5–1.0μm.
Primer Layer: Main materials: Epoxy resin (EP) or polyurethane (PU); contains anti-rust pigment (such as zinc phosphate), enhancing anti-corrosion ability and interlayer adhesion. Model: EP-100 (epoxy primer), PU-200 (polyurethane primer); thickness: 5–8μm.
Topcoat Layer: Determines color, gloss, weather resistance and processing performance; mainstream materials, models and specifications:
