5. Outlook for pre-painted steel sheet
Pre-coated metal is a highly refined material that opens up numerous possibilities for designers seeking new concepts and innovative designs.
Thanks to the development of techniques adapted to implementation, substrates suitable for deformation, and multi-layer products allowing for the separation of functions (anti-corrosion primer, finish providing color and completing anti-corrosion protection, PET film providing chemical inertness and scratch resistance), new products (backing for structural bonding, pre-glued sheets for assembly with other materials, metallized PET films, plain or decorated glossy films for household appliances, matte films for cold rooms, composite panels, etc.), and new methods of applying resins, the market for these sheets is rapidly expanding into a wide variety of fields, such as:
architecture;...
