Description

PPGL is short for "Pre-Painted-Galvalume-Steel". It is a kind of color coated steel, like PPGI, which is short for "Pre-Painted-Galvanized-Iron-Steel". Difference Between PPGL Steel and PPGI Steel The main difference between PPGI and PPGL is the coatings that are applied to each of these variants. The PPGI is covered with an even zinc layer. This zinc coating gives the base materials anodic protection, which prolongs the service life of the product. PPGL steel features a coating with a combination of zinc, aluminum, and other types of trace elements such as silicon. The typical composition of these galvalume coatings is around 43.4% zinc, 55% aluminum, and 1.6% trace elements. Since there is a difference when it comes to their coatings, the PPGL steel coil and the PPGI steel coil also vary when it comes to their properties: - PPGL steel coil provides a more refined and smoother finish when compared to the PPGI steel coil. - Corrosion that occurs in PPGL steel will spread. While in PPGI steel the corrosion will remain localized, meaning that it won't spread as easily. - PPGL steel is more resistant to corrosion when compared to PPGI steel, however, the cut edges will be less protected. This has to do with the honeycomb structure of the steel coating, which fails to provide enough protection to the exposed edges. What Are PPGL Steel Coils Used For? The PPGL coil is a cold-formed product that is processed into a metal roofing product with the use of a roll-forming machine, mainly used in commercial, industrial, residential and civil buildings. The PPGL with a patterns is also commonly used for exterior doors or decoative uses. Tips On How To Choose PPGL Products Before choosing PPGL steel coils, color and thickness are usually the main considerations to keep in mind. Another important consideration to keep in mind is the mechanical characteristics of the actual substrate, including yield strength. Other considerations also include how much the coating weighs on the galvanized steel sheets, along with the painting performance of the PPGL which includes durability, powder resistance, and thickness. PPGL is a versatile and innovative product that combines the anti-corrosive abilities of coatings and strong and robust steel. These materials are especially resistant to high temperatures and corrosion and can withstand temperatures up to 315 degrees Celsius. PPGL coils are commonly used for many applications including windows and doors, cladding and roofing, fencing, internal partitions, lighting, furniture, ceilings, ship manufacturing, the building sector, the automobile manufacturing industry. Wanzhi Steel is a reliable and reputable manufacturer of PPGL coils. The coils that they produce are available in widths that range from 600 to 1,250mm, and thicknesses that range from 0.12 to 1.2mm. These products are also available in a wide range of attractive and eye-catching patterns and colors, to match up to a wide range of building applications.
