Because color-coated sheets undergo strict quality control during production and manufacturing, they ensure uniform quality in terms of appearance, durability, and process performance. Mass-produced color-coated sheets are cost-effective, offering a more economical solution compared to post-coating treatments. The liquid components in architectural coatings contain high water content, while organic chemical architectural coatings have low consumption, making them economically viable. The use of color-coated sheets can greatly simplify manufacturing processes and eliminate air pollution caused by organic solvents, paint, and baking. Commonly used architectural coating types include epoxy resin, polyester, silicone-modified polyester, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyurethane materials.

When selecting color-coated sheets, the choice should be based on the natural environment and primary application. Different base materials or coating types should be used for different scenarios. For general architectural exterior cladding, hot-dip galvanized-based color-coated sheets are typically recommended. When used as roofing panels in construction, it is best to use color-coated sheets with a two-layer coating on both surfaces. For sandwich panels, the top layer should be coated twice.

Color-coated sheets feature lightweight concrete, an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and excellent anti-corrosion properties. They can also be processed immediately, making them suitable for industries such as construction, shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, home furnishing, and electrical equipment production. Color-coated sheets are typically made from hot-rolled steel sheets or galvanized sheets as the base material, undergo surface treatment for uniformity, and are coated with architectural paint in a continuous process. They are then baked and water-cooled to produce the final product.
