- Prepainted galvanized (PPG) steel coils, comparing to
galvanized coils, have better corrosion resistance and fascinating
decorative properties with their color alternatives and glossy
appearance. Color of PPG coils, during service period, by the
effect of environmental conditions, fades and their surface lose
their glossy appearance. This study investigated the color and
gloss stability of PPG steel sheet samples, painted with 14 different
colors and 3 different paint type. 23 parallel samples were exposed
to natural environmental conditions during 2 years at two
different locations, Florida/USA and Dörtyol/Hatay/Turkey. For
natural tests, environmental meteorological parameters such as
temperature, humidity, rain and various weather conditions are
recorded monthly. This study shows the effect of natural
environment of Dörtyol/Hatay/Turkey location and the regions
similar meteorological conditions like Dörtyol/Hatay/Turkey on
color and gloss of PPG coils.
