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.
