Steel Coil & Strip & Color Coated Steel Coil,DX51D+Z、DX52D+Z、DX53D+Z、DX54D+Z、DX51D+AZ、S350GD+AZ
1. Basic Product Definition
Color Coated Coil, also named prepainted steel coil, abbreviated as PPGI (Prepainted Galvanized Iron Coil) or PPGL (Prepainted Galvalume Coil).It takes cold rolled coil, hot-dip galvanized steel coil (GI), galvalume steel coil (GL) or electro-galvanized coil as base substrate.
Coating Layer Cross Section
It integrates anti-corrosion, weather resistance and decorative performance. All painting is finished in factory, no on-site spraying required; paint film keeps intact during bending, roll forming and stamping. It is the core deep-processing material widely used in construction, home appliances, transportation and decoration industries.
Core Layer Structure (From inside to outside)
Base steel substrate (CR/GI/GL)
Metallic anti-rust coating (zinc / aluminum-zinc alloy)
Chemical conversion passivation film (improve paint adhesion)
Epoxy primer
Color topcoat (weather-resistant main layer)
Back coating (protective paint for coil reverse side)Optional: PE protective film (anti-scratch for processing)
2. Complete Production Flow
Uncoiling & welding: Joint two coils for continuous production
Tension looper buffer: Stable production speed
Degreasing & multi-stage water cleaning: Remove oil, dust and surface impurities
Hot air drying: Eliminate residual moisture
Chemical conversion passivation: Form compact anti-corrosion film
Secondary drying
Primer roller coating + high-temperature baking
Topcoat roller coating + curing oven baking (core process)
Air cooling / water cooling
Optional lamination of PE protective film
Edge trimming & surface online inspection
Final coiling, marking, strapping and packaging
Common Coating Process Types
1-coat 1-bake (1/1): Single primer, low cost, only for indoor inner parts
2-coat 1-bake (2/1): Primer + single topcoat, general indoor decoration
2-coat 2-bake (2/2): Primer + topcoat with two independent curing sections, mainstream outdoor architectural grade
3-coat 3-bake (3/3): Extra clear top coat, ultra-high weather resistance PVDF grade for coastal heavy corrosion environment

Deep drawing grade: TDC53D+Z/AZ (complex home appliance shell)
Structural high-strength grade: TS280GD / TS350GD / TS550GD (load-bearing purlin, structural support)
4.4 Classified by Surface Texture & Finish
Smooth solid color finish: RAL standard color system (white, grey, blue, red, green etc.)
Matte finish (low gloss 5–30°): Anti-fingerprint, high-end decoration
Embossed texture: Orange peel, leather grain, brick grain, wood grain
Metallic finish: Silver, golden metallic luster
Wrinkle finish, chalkboard finish, food-grade special coating
5. Advantages & Disadvantages
Main Advantages
Double anti-corrosion protection: Zinc metallic coating + organic paint film, far longer service life than bare galvanized steel
One-step finished product: Factory pre-painted, save post-processing spraying cost & labor
Rich color & texture options, stable color consistency in batch production
Excellent forming property: Paint film maintains adhesion after bending, roll forming, stamping without peeling or cracking
Light weight, high strength, easy installation, low maintenance cost
Wide thickness & paint grade selection to match different climate & corrosive environments
Limitations
PVDF high-performance grade has relatively high material cost
Sharp scratch will damage organic coating and cause local rust risk
Not suitable for long-term high-temperature environment above 120℃
Indoor PE grade will fade quickly under long-time strong UV exposure
