What is Prepainted Aluminum Coil

 

 

Pre-painted aluminium coils are aluminium coils that have undergone surface treatment before painting. The process involves cleaning the aluminium surface, applying a primer or base coat, and then applying one or more coats of paint or coating. The coating is usually applied using continuous coating technology, ensuring uniform coverage and adhesion to the aluminium surface.

 

Benefits of Prepainted Aluminum Coil

 

Durability
Prepainted aluminum coils are coated with a protective layer that enhances their resistance to corrosion, fading, and weathering. This makes them ideal for outdoor applications where they can withstand harsh environmental conditions over a long period.

 

Cost-effectiveness

Process of Prepainted Aluminum Coil
 

Entry section
The coil is fed to the line and leveled using a tension leveler which is used to ensure an absolutely flat product, the coil entry accumulator. There are two pay off reels, which ensures that a standby coil is always available. When the coil being processed has finished, the coil needs to stop to allow the end of this coil to be either stitched or welded to the leading edge of the new coil, the accumulator then empties to allow a continuous flow of material through the processing section to keep the subsequent process zones of the line running.

 

Cleaning and pre-treatment
Pre-cleaning of the coil through cascade spraying in alternate directions within different zones, cleaning is thus much more efficient than conventional technologies and water can be re-used, thereby cutting consumption levels. Pre-treatment is essential to increase the corrosion resistance and ensure paint adhesion. The conversion layer is chemically built up on the surface of the aluminium coil during pre-treatment process, and HAOMEI is using the most efficient no-rinse technology to improve the quality, and eliminated wastes.

 

Coil coating
The coil coating process consists of two stages, one is called primer application and the other is finish coating application. In the first stage, the coil passes though a roller coater machine that applies a primer paint coat to both sides/one side of the coil. After curing and dried, the coil passes though a second roller coater machine which applies the finish coating to both sides/one side. There are essentially two different types of coating- decorative and functional and typical requiring formability, scratch resistance, appearance, weather resistance, printability etc. to achieve different results, the paint system are used: e.g. acrylic primer, polyester, PUR, or PVDF.

 

Curing
The strip again passes though an oven set at an appropriate temperature to ensure that all the volatiles are removed and that the paint is fully cured. Depending on the paint system, the curing temperature lies between 200~3000℃, and it is the key technology to promise the coating quality. What is more, in order to protect the environment and safe cost, the solvent vapour is burned- off and used to heat the ovens.

 

 

Factors Affecting The Service Life Of Prepainted Aluminum Coil
 

Aluminum coil quality
The quality of prepainted aluminum coils has a significant impact on their service life. High quality prepainted aluminum coils use better quality substrates and more suitable coatings, with a uniform, smooth surface without bubbles, wrinkles, hook marks and other defects, which can greatly extend their service life.

How to Ensure Quality of Prepainted Aluminum Coil

 

The prepainted aluminum coil refers to aluminum coils that are coated with one or several layers of organic coatings such as polyester and fluorocarbon polyester after surface processing, and then baked and cured. There are usually two kinds of paintings: PVDF and PE.

 

Compared with polyester (PE) coating aluminum coil, fluorocarbon (PVDF) coating aluminum coil has the advantage of long service life. Generally, the service life of PVDF coated aluminum coil can reach more than 20 years while the service life of polyester color-coated aluminum coil is usually about 10 years.

 

Fluorocarbon color-coated aluminum coil is a product that uses high-quality fluorocarbon paint to coat the surface of aluminum coil. Fluorocarbon paint has better weather resistance and longer service life, and is the first choice for color-coated aluminum coils for outdoor products.

 

The general production process of coil coating has 5 steps, namely coil input, cleaning and chemical treatment, painting, curing and finished product output. The process layout and equipment composition are different in different cases, but the basic parts are the same.

 

The quality of the pretreatment (cleaning and chemical coating) determines the quality of the coating and directly affects the flexibility and impact resistance of the coating. It determines the coating adhesion of aluminum trim coil.

 

The purpose of initial coating, finishing coating and curing is to coat the coating on the surface of the substrate, and volatilize the organic solvent of the coating by heating, so that the organic coating and the substrate are closely combined. Coating and curing directly affect the appearance quality and physical and chemical properties of color-coated aluminum coils, which are the key links in production control.

 

Aluminum trim coils may have color difference during production and use. Since color difference is affected by various factors such as production batch, color depth, use time, use environment, and purpose, it is usually negotiated by both the supplier and the buyer when ordering.

 

Coating durability is the performance of the color-coated aluminum coil during use, and it is usually measured by the length of service life. Coating durability is mainly affected by factors such as coating type, coating thickness, and environmental corrosion. coating type, coating thickness, and environmental corrosion. The true durability of coatings can be determined by atmospheric exposure testing or artificial aging tests.
