Classification of color coated aluminum coils
Coated aluminum coils can be classified based on the type of coating used:
פ (Polyester) Coated Aluminum Coil
Polyester coated aluminum coil is an anti-UV coating. Polyester resin uses a high molecular polymer containing ester bonds in the main chain as a monomer. Alkyd resin is added. UV absorbers can be divided according to glossiness. Matte and high gloss range. Especially suitable for interior decoration and advertising boards.
Coating specificationsPVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) Coated Aluminum Coil
Pvdf coated aluminum coil are made of fluorocarbon resin with fluorine as the basic monomer, pigments, alcohol ester solvents and additives. After the film is formed by high-temperature barbecue, the molecular structure of the coating is tight and has super weather resistance. Fluorocarbon coatings can be divided into traditional fluorocarbon and nano-fluorocarbon coatings according to the surface film formation structure. It is especially suitable for decoration and display of indoor and outdoor decoration in public places, commercial chains, exhibition advertising, וכו.
