PPGL Global Specification &Technical Datasheet
1. Product Overview
Pre-Painted Galvanized Steel (PPGI) and Pre-Painted Galvalume Steel (PPGL) are high-performance coated steel products manufactured via cold-rolled substrate pretreatment (degreasing, phosphating), hot-dip coating (zinc for PPGI; 55%Al-Zn-Si alloy for PPGL), and multi-layer painting/curing. They offer superior corrosion resistance, aesthetics, and processability for global applications in construction, home appliances, and transportation.

PPGL : Premium Prepainted Steel Solutions
Crafted for Global Performance by a 20-Year Metal Manufacturing Specialist
For two decades, we have mastered the art of producing high-performance Pre-Painted Galvanized Steel (PPGI) and Pre-Painted Galvalume Steel (PPGL) —two iconic coated steel products trusted by industries worldwide. Blending advanced metallurgy with precision coating technology, our PPGI/PPGL delivers unrivaled durability, aesthetic versatility, and compliance with the strictest global standards. Below is a comprehensive overview of their composition, production, specifications, and certifications.
1. Raw Material Composition: The Foundation of Performance
The core distinction between PPGI and PPGL lies in their metallic coating composition, which defines their environmental resilience and application scope .
1.1 PPGI (Pre-Painted Galvanized Steel)
- Base Substrate: Cold-rolled steel (grades: DX51D+Z, SGCC, Q235, Q345) or electro-galvanized steel, selected for inherent strength and formability .
- Metallic Coating: Pure zinc (Zn) layer, applied via hot-dip galvanization. Coating weight ranges from 30g/㎡ (Z30) to 275g/㎡ (Z275) to suit corrosion demands .
- Paint System: 2-coat 2-bake structure:
- Primer (5-10μm): Epoxy-based for adhesion and chemical resistance.
- Topcoat (10-35&mm): Polyester (PE), Silicone-Modified Polyester (SMP), or High-Durability Polyester (HDP) .
1.2 PPGL (Pre-Painted Galvalume Steel)
- Base Substrate: Cold-rolled steel (grades: DX51D+AZ, CGCC-AZ, S350) with enhanced compatibility for alloy coatings .
- Metallic Coating: 55% aluminum (Al) + 43.4% zinc (Zn) + 1.6% silicon (Si) alloy. Coating weight spans 30g/㎡ (AZ30) to 150g/㎡ (AZ150), forming a dense oxide film for superior protection .
- Paint System: Optimized for alloy substrates:
- Primer (5-10μm): Anti-alkaline formula to prevent galvanic corrosion.
- Topcoat (15-40μm): PVDF (Kynar 500®) recommended for extreme weather, plus PE/SMP/HDP options.
2. Manufacturing Process: Precision from Start to Finish
Our 6-step production ensures consistent quality, adhering to global manufacturing best practices :
1.Substrate Preparation: Uncoiling and stitching cold-rolled steel coils; feeding into entry loops for continuous processing.
2.Cleaning &Pretreatment: Degreasing to remove oil/dust, followed by phosphating to create a micro-rough surface for paint adhesion —critical for preventing coating peeling .
3.Metallic Coating:
PPGL: Hot-dip alloy coating (aluminum-zinc-silicon bath at 600°C) .
1.Paint Application: Roll-coating primer and topcoat uniformly using automated machines, ensuring color consistency across batches .
2.Curing &Cooling: Passing through ovens (200-250°C) to harden coatings, then water cooling to lock in performance .
3.Quality Inspection &Packaging: 100% testing (thickness, adhesion, salt spray resistance); coiling (ID: 508/610mm) and packaging with VCI film + kraft paper + ISPM 15 pallets .
3. Global Specifications: Tailored to Regional Standards
We engineer PPGI/PPGL to meet the unique requirements of key markets, aligned with local standards and climate needs .
