Textured Paint Coated Steel Roll Forming Material Guide: Textured Finishes, Coil Sizes & Uses

Textured Paint Coated Steel Roll Forming Material

1. Overview of Textured Paint Coated Steel in Roll Forming

Textured paint coated steel is a pre-painted steel material designed with a surface texture rather than a smooth finish. This texture improves durability, reduces visible defects, and enhances aesthetic appeal.

Unlike gloss or matte coatings, textured coatings provide better scratch resistance and help hide oil canning, surface waviness, and minor forming defects — making them highly desirable in both architectural and industrial applications.

Textured coatings are typically applied over galvanized steel (PPGI) or Aluzinc steel (PPGL) using PE, SMP, PVDF, or Plastisol systems.

2. Material Composition & Structure

Textured coated steel consists of:

Steel base (cold rolled steel)
Zinc or Aluzinc coating
Chemical pre-treatment
Primer layer
Textured paint topcoat
Backing coat

Layer Structure:

Steel core
Zinc or Aluzinc coating
Chemical pre-treatment
Primer coating
Textured topcoat
Back coat

13. Comparison with Other Materials

Textured vs Gloss

Textured = hides defects
Gloss = smooth and reflective

Textured vs Matte

Textured = physical surface pattern
Matte = visual finish only

Textured vs Plastisol

Textured = lighter coating
Plastisol = thicker and more durable

14. Best Industries Using Textured Coated Steel

Construction
Agriculture
Industrial buildings
Architectural design
Prefabricated buildings

15. How to Choose Textured Coated Steel

Choose Textured When:

Oil canning needs to be hidden
Surface durability is important
Aesthetic finish is required
Handling damage is a concern

Avoid When:

Smooth architectural finish required
Easy cleaning is critical
High precision profiles needed
