Lebanon 25 tons PPGI Sheets Project

On August 1st, 2023, 25 tons of PPGI sheets were shipped to Lebanon. This is the second time to provide PPGI sheets for the  Lebanese client. In May 2022, this client bought 26 tons of PPGI sheets from us. When they received our pre-painted galvanized steel sheets, they were satisfied with our products. They even recommend our company to other purchasers. This time, the client bought pre-painted galvanized steel sheets and electro-galvanized sheets.

PPGI Sheet Overview

PPGI sheet refers to coating a colorful paint on the surface of galvanized steel sheets. Also, we can customize different colors according to your requirement; all RAL colors are available. Prepainted galvanized steel sheets adopt the hot-dip galvanizing process, widely used in the construction industry, home appliances, furniture industry, automobile industry, etc.

Advantages Of PPGI Sheet

1. Plenty of colors: the appearance is beautiful and novel, with rich colors, creating a variety of architectural facades.

2. Good seismic performance: PPGI sheets’ toughness is good, malleable, and lightweight; the center of the overall building is moved down, which is beneficial to reduce earthquake damage.

3. Convenient construction: it can effectively reduce the workload of installation workers and transportation, without multiple reprocessing and reducing the construction cycle.

4. Environmental science reuse: can be recycled and reused to reduce the waste of non-renewable resources.

Project quality check

Our quality inspection department will conduct comprehensive testing on the thickness, width, length, color, surface finish, coating quality, coating thickness, paint film thickness, yield strength, paint adhesion, corrosion resistance and other aspects of the plate, and accept third-party quality inspection.

What Is Electro-galvanizing?

Electro-galvanizing adopts the electrochemical method. Using the zinc ingot as the anode, zinc atoms lose electrons and become ionic state dissolved in the electrolyte.  And the steel strip as the cathode, zinc ions in the steel strip obtain electrons reduced into zinc atoms deposited on the surface of the steel strip, forming a coating.

Difference Of Hot-dip Galvanizing And Electro-galvanizing

1. The zinc coating structure is different

Hot-dip galvanized sheets feature a uniform, pore-free zinc coating that forms characteristic zinc crystals, with a thin brittle layer at the steel interface. In contrast, electro-galvanized coatings physically bond to the surface with porous structures, making them more prone to pitting corrosion. This fundamental difference gives hot-dip galvanized steel superior corrosion resistance compared to electro-galvanized products.

2. Different processing processes

Hot-dipped galvanized steel is made from cold-rolled steel through continuous annealing and galvanizing. The rapid thermal process slightly reduces strength and formability versus annealed cold-rolled steel. Electro-galvanized sheets preserve cold-rolled steel’s workability but require costlier production. With lower costs and broader usability, hot-dip GI dominates the market.

3. Different zinc content in the coating

Hot-dip galvanized sheets typically have zinc coatings ranging from 50-60g/m² (minimum) to 600g/m² (maximum) on both sides. In contrast, electro-galvanized sheets feature much thinner coatings – as low as 15g/m², with a practical maximum around 100g/m² due to production speed limitations. This coating thickness constraint significantly restricts electro-galvanized sheet applications.
