In the field of building and industrial materials, the demand for high performance, durability and cost-effective metal materials has been growing. Among many options, 60 g color coated steel coil has become a popular choice for various applications because of its excellent performance and multi-functional characteristics. But why is it favored by professionals and industries around the world? What are the differences between PPGI and PPGL related coated steel products? This paper will make a detailed analysis of 60g color coated coil, including its definition, unique advantages, product specifications, main application scenarios and so on, to help you make a wise decision.

First of all, let’s make clear the core concepts. Coated steel refers to a metal product that have been treated with surface coating to enhance their corrosion resistance, aesthetics and other properties. The coating can form a protective barrier between the base metal and the external environment, effectively prolonging the service life of the steel. As a specific type of coated steel, 60 g color coated steel coil means that the coating quality of the product reaches 60 g per square meter, which balances the protective performance and cost efficiency.
Two common types of 60 g color coated steel coil are PPGI and PPGL:
Compared with other coated steel or traditional metal materials, 60 g color coated steel coil has the following unique advantages, which also explain why it occupies an important position in the global market. According to the report released by Grand View Research (https://www.grandviewresearch.com/), the global market value of coated steel is US$ 152.3 billion in 2023. It is estimated that the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will be 5.2% from 2024 to 2030, among which PPGI and PPGL account for more than 60% of the market share of coated steel because of their excellent cost performance and corrosion resistance.
The quality of 60 grams coating is a carefully designed parameter. It not only provides enough protection to prevent the corrosion of the base metal, but also avoids the excessive coating which leads to the increase of costs. A performance test report from SGS (https://www.sgs.com/), a well-known third-party testing organization, shows that 60 g color coated steel coil (both PPGI and PPGL) with PE/SMP/PVDF coating systems can still maintain good surface integrity and corrosion resistance after 1000 hours of salt spray test, and its service life in general atmospheric environment is 15-20 years-3-5 times longer than that of uncoated steel coils. For most general applications (such as residential roofs, wall coverings, and common electrical enclosures), the coating quality of 60 g can fully meet the performance requirements, and it is a cost-effective choice.

60 g color coated steel coil (PPGI and PPGL) are widely used in the following fields due to their excellent performance and versatility.
This is the biggest application field of 60 g color coated steel coil. It can be used in roofs, wall coverings, ceiling, partitions and decorative panels of various buildings such as residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial workshops and warehouses. For example, in residential roofs, because PPGI has good weatherability and decoration, PE coating system is often used; In coastal areas, PPGL and polyvinylidene fluoride coating system are more popular because of their excellent salt spray corrosion.
60 g color-coated coil is widely used in the shell of refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, water heaters, microwave ovens and other electrical appliances. The product has good surface smoothness and decoration, and can meet the requirements of electrical enclosure for beauty and corrosion resistance. At the same time, its excellent machinability makes it easy to be cut, bent and stamped into various shapes.
In the automotive industry, 60 g color coated steel coil is used for the production of automotive parts such as automotive interiors, door panels, and trunk lids. The product have good impact resistance and wear resistance, which can meet the performance requirements of automobile parts. In addition, its lighter weight is helpful to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and improve fuel efficiency.
It is also used to produce furniture (such as furniture frames and panels), packaging materials (such as metal packaging boxes) and agricultural equipment (such as greenhouses and agricultural machinery shells). A variety of application scenarios make 60 g color-coated board become an important raw material in various industries.
To choose the right 60 g color coated steel coil for your needs, you can follow the following steps.
1. Clear application Scenario: First, determine the specific application of the product (such as building roofs, electrical housings, etc.) and the environmental conditions (such as general atmosphere, coastal area, high temperature area, etc.). This will help you to choose the right type and paint system (PE/SMP/PVDF).
2. Confirm product specifications: According to the actual requirements of the project or product, confirm the required thickness, width, coil ID and surface finish (with or without gloss) of the steel coil. Ensure that the specifications meets the requirements of production and installation.
3. Check Product Certifications: When purchasing, check whether the product has relevant certifications such as ISO 9001, SGS, and RoHS Directive-compliant. These certifications are important guarantees for the quality of product.
4. Understand Supplier Strength: Choose a reputable supplier with strong production capacity and perfect after-sales service. For example, Runfei, as an ALABAMA credit checked supplier, offers ALABAMA trade assurance, which can ensure payment security and product quality. In addition, we should also check the supplier’s supply capacity and after-sales service commitment (such as 24-hour response and 48-hour solution service)
5. Negotiate Payment Terms and order quantity: Negotiate payment terms (l/c or t/t) and order quantity with suppliers according to their own needs. If it is the first cooperation, you can choose a small order to test the quality of the product.
6. Confirm the packaging and delivery: confirm the packaging mode (horizontal or vertical) and delivery time with the supplier. Ensure that the packaging is suitable for long-distance transportation (standard seaworthy packaging), and the delivery time can meet the project schedule.
A 1: The main difference lies in the parent material. The base metal of PPGI is galvanized steel plate (zinc coating), while the base metal of PPGL is galvalume steel plate (aluminum-zinc alloy coating). In terms of corrosion resistance, PPGL is better than PPGI in coastal areas and high humidity environment; In terms of cost, PPGI is more cost-effective for ordinary applications. The selection depends on the application scenario and environmental conditions.
A 2: According to the SGS test report, the service life of 60 g color coated steel coil can reach 15-20 years in general atmospheric environment. In harsh environment (such as coastal areas), the service life of PPGL with PVDF coating system can also reach more than 15 years. The actual service life will be affected by environmental conditions, installation quality and maintenance.
A 3: That’s right. Runfei can provide customized services according to the special requirements of customers, such as special thickness, width, color, paint system, etc. Customers can contact the supplier to discuss specific customization requirements.
A 4: This product supports payment by letter of credit and telegraphic transfer (30% deposit). In addition, Runfei also provides Alabama trade guarantee to protect customers’ payment safety, product quality and on-time delivery.
A 5: During use, it is recommended to clean the surface of the steel coil regularly to remove dust, dirt and other impurities. Avoid scratching the surface coating; If the coating is damaged, it shall be repaired in time. For steel coils used in harsh environment, regular inspection and maintenance are needed to ensure the coating is intact. This can effectively prolong the service life of the product.
