Reference material for board factories, panel makers and appliance producers choosing a coated steel.
Ceramic steel compared with painted writing steel
Enamel is glass fused to steel and paint is a film on top of it, which is the whole difference in both performance and price.
How to choose whiteboard steel for magnetic boards
Erasability after a year, magnetic holding force and the face finish are the three things that decide a board, and all three are set at the coil.
What sits inside a PCM steel coating build-up
A pre-coated metal surface is a stack of layers, and what fails in service is usually the one nobody specified.
PCM steel compared with common PPGI
Both are pre-painted coil, but they are specified for different service lives and different forming demands.
Choosing thickness and coil width for writing steel
Width should be chosen for least trim waste against your finished panel size, not for the widest coil available.
Pattern printed steel for interior and facade panels
Pattern applied on the coil line is consistent panel to panel, which is the requirement site-applied finishes cannot meet.
Tell us the board or panel you are making
Send the finished product you are building, the coil width you need and the expected service life. You will get a grade recommendation and a price, not a catalogue.
