Pre-painted steel (also known as coil-coated steel or color-coated steel) is a flat steel product (sheet, strip, or coil) that has had a paint coating applied to its surface in a continuous, automated factory process before it is fabricated into an end product.
On Wednesday, January 28, the Executive Management Committee (Gecex) of Brazil’s Foreign Trade Chamber approved an anti-dumping (AD) duty on imports of pre-painted steel from China and India.
The new measure will be in effect for five years, according to a press released by the committee.
In addition, the committee also approved an increase in import duty on nine types of steel products to 25% for 12 months, in order to protect domestic steel producers. Current duty on these products ranges between 10.8% to 12.6%.
Pre-painted Steel Applications
Pre-painted steel is ubiquitous in modern architecture and manufacturing:
- Building & Construction (70% of usage):
- Roofing and Wall Cladding for commercial, industrial, and agricultural buildings.
- Composite Insulated Panels.
- Garage Doors, Roller Shutters, and Rainwater Goods.
- Peralatan:
- White Goods: Refrigerator, washing machine, and dryer cabinets.
- HVAC Units: Housings for air conditioners and heaters.
- Angkutan:
- Car Interior Parts, body panels for trailers, and some vehicle exteriors.
- Shipping Containers.

Comparison with Alternatives
| Fitur | Pre-Painted Steel (Coil Coated) | Galvanized Steel | Baja tahan karat | Post-Painted Steel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Protection | Organic Paint/Polymer Coating (color + barrier). | Lapisan Seng (sacrificial anode). | Alloy Composition (chromium oxide layer). | Paint applied after forming. |
| Tahan Korosi | Excellent, but depends on coating system. Can be scratched through. | Very good (sacrificial). White rust can form. | Excellent (inherent). | Variable, depends on application quality. |
| Aesthetics | Excellent. Wide range of permanent colors/finishes. | Metallic gray/speckled. Often used as a substrate. | Metallic (brushed, polished). Limited color without PVD. | Can be good, but less consistent. |
| Biaya | Moderate to High (for premium coatings). | Low to Moderate. | Very High. | Low initial cost, but higher labor/waste. |
| Kemampuan dibentuk | Good, but paint film can crack on very tight bends. | Excellent. | Varies by grade. | Painted after forming, so no issue. |
