FAQ
What is the difference between PE and PVDF color coated aluminum coil?
PE (polyester) coating is cost-effective and ideal for interior and short-to-medium term exterior use, typically with a 5-10 year color warranty. PVDF (Kynar 500 / Hylar 5000 fluorocarbon) coating offers superior UV, chalk and fade resistance for premium facades, with a 15-25 year warranty. We recommend PVDF for ACP curtain walls and PE for ceilings, signage and budget-sensitive projects.
Which substrate alloys do you use for color coated aluminum coil?
We commonly use 1100 and 3003 for general ACP and ceiling applications, 3004/3105 for higher-strength roofing, and 5052 for demanding structural or marine-adjacent uses. We will recommend the best alloy and temper based on your forming and strength requirements.
Can you match a specific RAL or custom color?
Yes. We match any RAL color as well as metallic, pearlescent, and wood-grain finishes, with controllable gloss from matte (10%) to high gloss (90%). For custom colors we provide a pre-production sample for approval and maintain coil-to-coil shade consistency in production.
What are your MOQ, lead time and packing for color coated aluminum coil?
MOQ is typically 3-5 tons per color/specification (custom colors may require more). Standard lead time is 20-30 days depending on color and coating. Coils are packed with surface protective film, edge protectors, and wooden pallets, then containerized for safe ocean transport. We provide a formal FOB Tianjin quote within 24 hours.
