2. Pre-painted steel sheet processing
Pre-painted sheet metal is a highly technical material, manufactured and tested in the factory. Supplied in coils or sheets, it can be coated with a temporary protective film of 30 to 120 µm, either adhesive or heat-bonded, when forming facilities are not designed to use prepainted sheet metal. . This film is removed after forming and assembly.
Product packaging is adapted:
mode of transport ;
the customer's handling equipment;
geographical destination ;
to end use.
A good application process for pre-painted sheet metal is one that preserves all its characteristics, including its appearance. To meet this requirement, a few basic principles, presented in the following...
