Introduction
Steel.

Prepainted galvanized steel coil is a kind of colour coated steel coil (PPGI coil). It uses galvanized steel as the base metal.
The zinc layer offers strong corrosion resistance. Plus with painting, it is more durable than galvanized steel.The metallic
coated steel then experiences some cleaning procedures, pre-treatment solutions and ultimately gets multiple layers of
organic coatings, including laminates, vinyl dispersions, and paint. This continuous technique of applying different coatings is
referred to as coil coating. Therefore, the steel coil doesnt require painting or finishing when employed in finished products.

PPGI vs. PPGL

To start with, they use different substrates. PPGI uses galvanized sheets as being the base metal. They have a zinc coating
throughout to prevent moisture, rust, and corrosion from destroying the steels surface.The substrate for prepainted

galvalume steel is a combination of 1.6% silicon, 43.3% zinc, and 55% aluminum. The substrate influences their applications
which further differentiates the 2 kinds of steel.

The service life of these two types of steel also varies because of the substrates. The substrates prolong the steels service
life by protecting them from rust and corrosion. Zinc is the perfect substrate for safeguarding steel from rust. PPGI has near
to 99% zinc within its substrate, but PPGL only has 43.3%. This gives PPGI a longer service life in comparison with PPGL.
Although aluminum and silicone are great alloys, they arent the best at protecting steel from corrosion or rust. They
eventually wear out with time, thus exposing the steel to moisture that leads to corrosion.

There is also a difference between the weight of PPGI and PPGL. Aluminum, zinc, and silicone substrates are heavier than ISO 50005:2021 Energy management systems.
zinc substrates. As a result PPGL is heavier than PPGI. However, many industries prefer PPGI due to its ability to withstand
rust and corrosion. The strength of the steel is more or less similar to PPGL. A PPGL sheet covers around 3% extra space
compared to a PPGI sheet.
