What are Color-coated Metal Coils?
Classification by Substrate Material
- Cold-rolled substrate color-coated coils: smooth surface, good processing performance, low cost, and need to rely on coatings for corrosion protection.
- Hot-dip galvanized base color coated coil(PPGI Coil): strong corrosion resistance, suitable for humid environments (such as washing machines, dishwashers).
- Aluminum-zinc base color coated coil(PPGL Coil): more heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, suitable for oven shells, air conditioner outdoor units, etc.
- Aluminum base color coated coil: lightweight, strong corrosion resistance, suitable for ultra-thin refrigerator doors, high-end electrical appliance panels.
Classification by Surface Type
- High gloss/mirror color coated coil: used for high-end home appliance panels (such as refrigerator doors, air conditioner panels) to improve aesthetics.
- Matte/frosted color coated coil: anti-fingerprint, scratch-resistant, commonly used for washing machines, microwave ovens and other frequently contacted parts.
- Patterned color coated coil: the surface has a three-dimensional texture (such as wood grain, stone grain), used for decorative home appliance panels.
- Self-cleaning coating: the coating has hydrophobic or photocatalytic function to reduce stain adhesion (such as range hood shell).
- Antibacterial coating: adding antibacterial agents such as silver ions, suitable for parts with high hygiene requirements such as refrigerator liner and water dispenser.
How to Choose Color Coated Coil for Home Appliances?
When choosing color-coated steel sheets for home appliances, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the substrate, coating performance, surface effect, cost and specific application scenarios.The following are specific suggestions given by Wanzhi Steel:
- Corrosion resistance: It is recommended to choose galvanized substrate + SMP/PVDF coating in humid environments (such as washing machines).
- Aesthetics: High-gloss, textured, wrinkled, or patterned color-coated coils are suitable for visible parts (such as refrigerator doors).
- Functionality: High-temperature parts (oven) require heat-resistant coatings, and food contact areas (refrigerator liner) require antibacterial coatings.
| Home appliance type | Recommended color-coated coil types | Common colors |
| Refrigerator door panel | GI substrate + HDP coating | Pearl white, metallic gray |
| Air conditioner outdoor unit | AZ substrate + PVDF coating | Bright white, space gray |
| Washing machine panel | GI substrate + PE coating (matte) | Matte white, titanium |
| Oven liner | Aluminum substrate + SMP coating | Black, dark gray |
| Rancho hood shell | GI substrate + PVDF coating | Bright silver, black titanium |
| Water dispenser tank | Galvanized sheet + antibacterial coating | White, light blue |
Common Colors of Color-coated Coils for Home Appliances
- Pure white (RAL 9016/9010): most commonly used, suitable for popular home appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.
- Light gray (RAL 7001/7035): modern and simple style, used for air conditioners, ovens, etc.
- Dark gray/metal gray (RAL 7016): industrial style design, commonly seen in embedded home appliances.
- Classic black (RAL 9005): high-end home appliances (such as steam ovens, dishwashers), matte treatment to prevent fingerprints.
- Bright silver (RAL 9006): Highly reflective texture, suitable for small appliances (such as electric kettles).
- Sky blue (RAL 5012) and deep space blue (RAL 5003) are used for refrigerators and water dispensers with youthful designs.
- Wine red (RAL 3005) and cherry blossom pink (RAL 3014) are targeted at the female market or children’s appliances.
Market Preferences
- The Asian market prefers white and champagne gold.
- The European market prefers dark gray and black.
- Colorful personalized designs are popular in North America.
