Optimization Strategy and Construction Points for Coated Aluminum Coils
1. Comparative Analysis of Coating Types
-
Polyester Coating (PE)
-
Advantages: 30%-50% lower cost than PVDF, with over 200 standard colors, ideal for indoor decoration and short-term projects.
-
Limitations: 5-8 years weather resistance; prone to whitening and delamination in high-salt environments.
-
Fluorocarbon Coating (PVDF)
-
Performance: Contains 70% fluororesin, with UV resistance 3x superior to PE. Maintains ΔE<1.5 in extreme temperatures (-50℃ to 150℃), lifespan exceeding 20 years.
-
Cost-effectiveness: 15% higher initial investment per 10,000㎡, but 60% lower lifecycle maintenance costs.
