Aluminum coils for sale are a metal product that is widely used in various industries such as construction, decoration, transportation, and packaging. Aluminum coils can be coated with different types of coatings to enhance their performance and appearance.
Among various coatings, PVDF (fluorocarbon) and PE (polyester) are the two most common and popular ones. But what are the differences between them, and how to choose the right one for your application?
PVDF coating is a fluoropolymer resin-based coating system containing PVDF resin, pigments, solvents and additives. PVDF coating has excellent weather resistance, UV resistance, corrosion resistance and durability. It retains its bright and shiny appearance even after 20 years of outdoor exposure.
PVDF coatings can be divided into traditional PVDF and nano-PVDF coatings, depending on the size of the pigment particles. Traditional PVDF coatings have smooth and glossy surfaces, while nano PVDF coatings have matte and textured surfaces.
PVDF coated aluminum coils are suitable for applications requiring high performance and aesthetics, such as curtain walls, roofs, cladding, etc. It can also be used for special purposes, such as anti-scratch, antibacterial, food grade packaging.
PE coating is a coating system based on polyester resin, containing polyester resin, pigments, solvents and additives. PE coating has good gloss, rich color and mechanical properties. It protects aluminum coils from UV radiation, wind, rain, frost and snow.
PE coatings can be divided into high-gloss PE and matte PE coatings according to the glossiness of the surface. PE coated aluminum coil is suitable for applications that require medium performance and cost-effectiveness, such as interior decoration, billboards, signboards, etc.

As a whole aluminum coil supplier in China, Haomei Aluminum provides both PVDF coated aluminum coils and PE coated aluminum coils. PVDF-coated aluminum coils have superior performance and aesthetics, but are also higher in cost. PE-coated aluminum coils have moderate performance and cost-effectiveness, but also lower durability. Therefore, users should choose the appropriate coating based on their needs and budget.
