PPGI is prepainted galvanised steel, also known as precoated steel, coil coated steel, color coated steel etc.

A galvanised steel sheet in coil form is cleaned, pretreated, applied with various layers of organic coatings which can be paints, vinyl dispersions, or laminates.These coatings are applied in a continuous process known as Coil Coating.

The steel thus produced in this process is a prepainted, prefinished ready to use material. PPGi is the material which uses Galvanised steel as the basic substrate metal. There could be other substrates such as aluminum, Galvalume, stainless steel etc.

Over 10 Million Tons of such coated steel is produced today in over 300 coating lines all over the world.
