PPGI Sheet

PPGI sheet (Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron Sheet) is a composite material made by applying an organic coating to galvanized steel (GI) or aluminized zinc (GL), which combines the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel with the decorative qualities of a coating.PPGI sheet is a sheet that has been coated with paint and then cut according to the requirements of high-quality roofing, appliances, steel structures, piping systems, and other raw materials.

Structure of PPGI Steel Sheets

The structure of a color-coated sheet consists of a substrate, a chemical conversion film, a primer, and a topcoat.

  • Substrate: Hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (zinc layer weight 60-275 g/m²) or aluminized zinc sheet (55% Al-Zn alloy).
  • Coating: Polyester (PE), Silicon Modified Polyester (SMP), Fluorocarbon (PVDF), etc., thickness 15-25 μm.

Production Process of PPGI Sheet

PPGI is made of hot-dip galvanized steel, with the organic coating applied by rollers.

  • Substrate treatment: degreasing, pickling to remove surface impurities, phosphating/passivation to enhance adhesion.
  • Coating process: primer (epoxy resin) + top coat (PE/SMP/PVDF) roller coating, baking curing (220-250 ℃).
  • Post-treatment: embossing (optional), cooling, winding.

Type of PPGI Prepainted Galvanized Sheet

  • PPGI corrugated sheet:Commonly used as roofing and wall covering materials, due to the corrugated shape of the sheet’s surface increases its strength and bending resistance, as a building material can enhance the structural strength of the building.
  • PPGI plain sheet: Often used for roofing, exterior wall covering, and home appliance production, PPGI plain sheet has a smooth and flat surface, which is aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean in large flat surface applications.
  • PPGI patterned sheet:often used for anti-slip and exterior decoration, e.g., floors and stair treads. The dimpled surface of the PPGI steel plate increases the friction and anti-slip effect.
  • PPGI sandwich panels:High-quality roofing and partitioning material for buildings, consisting of two color-coated sheets and a core material, which not only looks good but also provides thermal insulation and heat preservation.

What are the Features of PPGI Sheet?

  • Corrosion resistance: It is protected by a zinc layer and paint, making the steel less likely to rust in various environments. In addition, coatings of different materials, such as PE, SMP, HDP, PVDF, etc., provide additional protection.
  • Beautiful: ppgi sheet has a smooth and uniform appearance, and can be customized with various colors and finishes, such as wood grain/stone grain/brick grain/metal texture/flower and bird painting/abstract pattern/camouflage/antique/gradient, etc., to meet various needs Design requirements.
  • Durable: The service life of plates with different material thicknesses can be as long as 7–20 years in different environments. They can also resist ultraviolet rays and withstand extreme weather.
  • Processability: Both ppgi coil and sheet have good processability and can be cut, bent, and pressed into various profiles.
  • Convenient to use: Compared with traditional building materials, color-coated boards are lightweight and easy to transport and process.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Longer service life, low maintenance cost, more economical from the original point of view.

How to Choose Between PPGI and PPGL Sheets?

PPGI and PPGL sheets are two popular types of painted metal materials. PPGI is economical and practical for general corrosion resistance needs with excellent workability, while PPGL is high-end and weather resistant for harsh environments with long life but higher cost. We can choose the most suitable type of pre-painted steel sheet according to the specific project requirements, environmental conditions, and budget.

PPGI VS PPGL

Item PPGI Sheet (Pre-Painted Galvanized Steel Sheet) PPGL Sheet (Pre-Painted Aluminum Zinc Steel Sheet)
Coating Composition Pure Zinc (Zn) Aluminum (55%), Zinc (43.4%), Silicon (1.6%) Alloy
Corrosion resistance Sacrificial anode protection of zinc, suitable for general environment Passivation film of aluminum + sacrificial protection of zinc, better salt spray resistance
High temperature resistance Low, melting point of zinc (419°C), which makes it easy to oxidize at high temperatures High melting point of aluminum (660°C), suitable for high temperature environments (≤315°C)
Processability Soft zinc plating, excellent stamping and bending performance Harder zinc plating requires special tools and slightly inferior deep-drawing performance.
Heat reflectivity Low High
Recyclability Zinc recycling rate of about 95% The aluminum recycling rate is more than 98%, which is more environmentally friendly.
