‌

Home appliance prepainted steel refers to steel sheets or coils that have been painted or coated with a protective finish at the steelworks, before being used in the manufacturing of home appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and ovens

Substrate and coating‌

Color-coated sheets are based on metal coils (such as cold-rolled sheets, hot-dip galvanized sheets, etc.) and are covered with organic coatings or plastic films by coating or lamination. This process makes them anti-corrosion, anti-rust, anti-fouling, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant.

‌Appearance and performance‌

‌Appearance‌: Color-coated sheets are rich in color and can achieve a variety of colors and patterns through roller coating and high-temperature baking processes, but the overall tone is dark and the decorative performance is average. They are mostly used in low-end and mid-range refrigerators.

‌Performance‌: It has good thermal insulation performance and can effectively maintain the freshness and nutritional value of food.

‌Comparison with other materials‌

Compared with tempered glass, color-coated sheets pay more attention to color and corrosion resistance, but lack the transparency and modernity of glass.

Compared with stainless steel, color-coated sheets are cheaper, but their durability and texture are slightly inferior.

‌Application scenarios‌

Color-coated sheets are often used in low-end and mid-range products that do not require high refrigerator appearance but focus on practicality due to their low cost, easy cleaning and corrosion resistance.

To sum up, color-coated panels are an economical and practical material for refrigerator panels, suitable for consumers who pursue cost-effectiveness and durability.
