Coil-Coating

Coil coating is a special coating process used in the industry to apply a protective or decorative coating to metal strips, especially steel or aluminum coils. This process plays a crucial role in various industries, including the construction industry, the automotive sector and the manufacture of household appliances.

During the coil coating process, the metal strip is passed through a series of stationary rollers that degrease, clean and, if necessary, pre-treat it. The strip is then coated with a special coating solution. This solution can contain different types of polymers, paints or other protective materials, depending on the requirements of the application.

The coated metal strips are then passed through an oven, where the coating is given its final properties through drying or curing. The coil coating process allows the coating to be evenly distributed over the entire metal strip, resulting in a high-quality surface.

The advantages of coil coating lie in the ability to coat metal strips in large quantities and with consistent quality. This not only helps to improve the aesthetic properties of products, but also provides reliable protection against environmental influences such as corrosion and UV radiation. Overall, coil coating is an efficient and widely used method for coating metal strips, which has many applications in various industries.
