As a key material for home appliance manufacturing, color-coated boards have outstanding performance in improving product appearance, environmental protection and production efficiency due to their comprehensive performance advantages. The main features are as follows:

1. Core advantages

Decorative and aesthetic performance

Color-coated boards are rich in color and can be customized with various surface effects such as metal brushing, imitation wood grain, gradient color (such as soft light micro-velvet series to reduce light pollution, platinum rock gray to enhance high-end texture), meeting consumers' personalized needs for home appliance appearance.

Environmental protection and cost advantages

Compared with traditional spraying process, pre-coated color-coated boards (PCM) reduce pre-treatment and spraying links, achieve zero emissions, and reduce environmental pressure on enterprises. At the same time, supply chain optimization can shorten the production cycle by 30% and reduce the overall cost by 40%-60%. Color-coated boards are used in more than 90% of Japanese refrigerator production.

Corrosion resistance and durability

Using fluorocarbon or PVDF coating, the salt spray test exceeds 500 hours (ASTM B117), which extends the service life of home appliances. Baosteel fluorocarbon color-coated plates have a 20-year warranty in power grid projects and are suitable for high humidity and high corrosion environments.

Convenient processing and adaptability

Color-coated plates have excellent ductility (elongation ≥ 20%) and support complex forming processes such as stamping and bending. Guanzhou's 1500mm ultra-wide color-coated plates are suitable for BIPV photovoltaic building integration needs, and the bending performance reaches the highest level of national standards (C-level)

2. Typical application scenarios

Refrigerator/washing machine: The door and side panels are made of high-gloss color-coated plates or laminated plates, replacing traditional VCM plates to reduce costs by 60%.

Kitchen appliances/small appliances: The shells of range hoods and microwave ovens are resistant to oil stains and antibacterial functions through color-coated plates, such as the floating light gold series, which has both metallic texture and anti-fingerprint properties.

High-end home appliances: LCD TV back panels and smart home panels use low-gloss color-coated plates, which are suitable for modern and simple design styles.

Through the triple upgrade of "environmental protection + performance + aesthetics", color-coated plates are driving the home appliance industry to transform towards green manufacturing and high-end development, and have significant potential in smart homes and customized products in the future.
