Question 1

What determines the price per kg of colour coated steel?

Accepted Answer

The price per kg depends on several factors, including the base steel cost, substrate type, steel thickness, metallic coating, paint system, colour, finish, order quantity, processing requirements, freight, and delivery location.

Question 4

What is the difference between PPGI and PPGL?

Accepted Answer

PPGI and PPGL differ mainly in their metallic-coated steel substrate. PPGI uses galvanised steel, where zinc provides the metallic coating before the paint system is applied. PPGL uses aluminium-zinc alloy coated steel as the substrate before colour coating.

Question 5

How should colour coated steel be stored to prevent rust or corrosion?

Accepted Answer

Colour coated steel should be stored in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated location where water and moisture cannot accumulate between sheets or coils. Avoid direct contact with the ground and protect the material from rain, condensation, and prolonged exposure to moisture. During handling, prevent scratches, dents, and damage to the painted surface.

Question 6

Is colour coated steel recyclable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Colour coated steel is a steel-based product and can be recycled through established steel recycling processes. The presence of metallic and paint coatings does not mean that the underlying steel has to be treated as non-recyclable material.

Question 7

Are colour coated steel sheets suitable for roofing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, colour coated steel sheets are widely used for roofing because they combine a steel substrate with protective metallic and paint coatings and are available in different profiles, colours, and specifications. The appropriate thickness, coating, paint system, and profile depend on the application and environmental conditions.
