The advanced technology of Alu Zinc line has been deployed for this purpose which offers higher heat resistance and reflectivity that makes the product sturdy and long-lasting. Moreover, they are available in classy colours which makes them aesthetically pleasing.

**C and Z Purlins –**
These are specially designed for Purlin and Girt Applications and offer cheaper and environment-friendly alternatives to Galvanized Iron. They are more durable and malleable and offer a superior option in comparison to post-painted metal. Their ultra-flexible bend property from 0T to 3T, edge protection with coatings and epoxy coatings for better adhesion make them suitable for bridging. Prepainted parts have two coats of paint tightly bonded to the metal in contrast to a single coat on post-painted metal. This improves corrosion resistance and enhances longevity.

**Door Frames-**
Navrang open door frames are a class apart as they combine the strength of steel with classy elegance to create a cool solution for your spaces. They are resistant to corrosion and humidity, stay termite-free, are recyclable and overall environmentally friendly. These features make them superior to galvanized iron frames.
**
Shutter Frames**
Apollo Navrang provides steel frames or pattis for shutters that are sturdier and aesthetically more pleasing. 
**
Roof Sheds**
If you are looking for durable roof sheds, Apollo Navrang can provide you with the perfect material to construct the same. They are weather resistant, environment friendly and remain termite free.

**Automobile Bodies**
Apollo Navrang can be used in the automobile industry to build the chassis for vehicles. The material is extremely strong and the prepainted galvanized sheets allow for faster production.

Apollo Navrang is focused on creating a superior range of products that are ready to use in diverse applications. The double coat of paint on galvanized sheets keeps the metal in perfect condition braving the vagaries of nature. They offer value for money as they will last longer and need less maintenance or replacement. Since they are pre-painted, they can save a lot of time in project execution which leads to lower overheads.

APL Apollo group is India’s largest manufacturer of structural steel pipes and tubes, with an annual capacity of more than 2.6 million tons. As a part of the SG Group, it caters extensively to India, and exports to over 20 countries globally. 

The company’s vast distribution network is spread across the domestic region with warehouse and branch offices in 29 cities. Its structural steel tubes are used in a variety of load-bearing and construction materials in residential and commercial infrastructure projects.

The Indian PEB industry, which primarily uses conventional 3 plates (I or H) steel products, is around 1 million metric tons in size (non-tubular sections). In PEB structures, steel tubes account for only 5% of the total.

There is enormous potential for increased demand for affordable modular PEB structures, as well as how increasing the composition of structural steel tubes will result in more cost-effective, stronger, and longer-lasting structures, as well as allow project completion time to be reduced.

Let us look at the advantages of tubular building solutions over beam building solutions –

Cost Advantage – There is a significant cost advantage in using structural steel tubes over beams which will impact the overall project cost. They need less concrete to be mounted.

Efficiency – The tubular sections can be used to complete the construction more efficiently as they come in box sections with smooth finishes.

Faster Project Execution – Tubular building solutions will ensure faster completion of projects due to less labour requirement as it comes in customized length and sizes.

APL Apollo produces structural steel tubes that can be used to build smart and efficient structures that combine aesthetics with strength and durability. In the coming years, the surge in demand for tubular building solutions might help generate a new yearly market of 200,000 tonnes for its ‘Apollo Column’ higher sizes and higher thickness steel tubes. APL already has a large market share in this category, which will grow even more next year with the introduction of a structural steel tube with a dimension of 500 x 500 mm. APL’s goal is to grow Apollo Column’s market share by a factor of ten.

Warehouses, hospitals, airports, industrial sheds, and commercial and residential complexes are among the areas where the company is pursuing tubular PEB steel building solutions. Given the government’s strong drive to strengthen farm supply chain infrastructure and rural housing infrastructure, warehouse construction and affordable housing projects will be in high demand in the future years.

The company’s vast distribution network is spread across the domestic region within warehouse and branch offices in 29 cities. Its structural steel tubes and pipes are used in a variety of load-bearing and construction materials in residential and commercial infrastructure projects.

APL Apollo manufactures structural steel tubes and pipes from steel coils and sheets using the latest cutting-edge technology. In addition to galvanizing the sheets and coils, it offers prepainted sheets and coils which provide a superior edge over normal galvanized sheets and coils.

## What are PPGI and PPGL coils and sheets?
The coating applied to each variety is the fundamental distinction between the two types of steel coil. A layer of zinc is evenly applied on PPGI or a  galvanized and pre-painted steel coil. The zinc coating protects the base material against corrosion, extending the product’s useful life.

The PPGL steel coil, on the other hand, is prepainted, and coated with a mixture of aluminum, zinc, and other trace metals. Galvalume coatings are typically composed of 55 percent aluminum, 43.4 percent zinc, and 1.6 percent trace elements.

There are a few differences between simple galvanized sheets and pre-painted galvanized sheets.

Prepainted galvanized sheets provide superior corrosion resistance compared to normal galvanized sheets. They ensure that rusting due to exposure to moisture is prevented by providing a protective coating. They have barrier protection of zinc combined with hybrid 03 colour coatings over the base metal.
Colour-coated galvanized sheets are aesthetically pleasing compared to normal galvanized sheets. They can be used directly in several applications and add a dash of brightness to the structure
The superior coating technology offers higher durability and adds to the strength of steel making the prepainted galvanized sheets a better choice.They have at least 4X service life compared to normal galvanized sheets.
The use of prepainted galvanized sheets eliminates the need for the replacement of sheets due to rusting or damage by harsh weather conditions as they are resistant to cracking and peeling.
The pre-painted galvanized sheets have higher heat stability and heat reflective properties compared to galvanized sheets.
Prepainted galvanized sheets are highly fire resistant and non combustible which makes them perfect for PEB segment.
The colour-coated sheets have a superior anti finger print coating that enhances its look. It has a uniform coating on all sides unlike post painted galvanized sheets which have a single coating on the exposed side. They have edge protection with coatings.
Epoxy coatings are possible in prepainted galvanised sheets for better adhesion over metals.
Compared to normal galvanized sheets, the prepainted galvanized sheets are more flexible with extra bend properties of 0T to 3T.
## 
PPGI AND PPGL
The coil is often made of hot-dip zinc-coated (GI) steel or an aluminium-zinc/galvalume (AZ/GL) substrate and is processed on a continuous paint coating line (CCL), where the metal’s surface is cleaned, pre-treated, and several layers of organic coatings are added.

Colour-coated material blends the strength and formability of steel with the corrosion resistance of zinc and paint in our product line. We offer the most diverse colour palette on the market. 

Furthermore, the hues and degree of gloss can be customized to meet your needs. Color Coated Prepainted Galvanized Steel Coils & Prepainted Aluzinc Steel Coils (PPGI / PPGL) are available in the market in coils, sheets, split strips, and profiled sheets.

These galvanized and pre-painted colour-coated coils and sheets can be used in a variety of applications. They last longer without rusting and look attractive when used in structures as they come in a range of bright colours. They can be used for roofing warehouses sheds, fences, factory walls, solar panels, automobile parts, home appliances and so many more.  You can check out APL Apollo’s new Navrang range for all your needs for coils and sheets and you will never be disappointed.
