When we enter the home appliance store, the dazzling array of refrigerators, televisions, washing machines and other home appliances is overwhelming. The appearance of these home appliances, in addition to their design, largely depends on the board used - PCM home appliance board.
1、 What is PCM home appliance board?

PCM home appliance board, also known as Pre Coated Metal, simply means that the aluminum coil is first coated with one or more layers of paint, which are evenly applied to the surface of the aluminum coil through roller coating and other methods. Then, it is baked at high temperature to cure it, and the coated aluminum coil is cut and stamped according to design requirements, and finally used for the manufacturing of home appliances.
This process of coating first and then forming is fundamentally different from the commonly used post spray home appliance board in the home appliance field.
2、 The difference between PCM home appliance board and rear spray home appliance board


1. Different production processes
The post spray home appliance board adopts the process of first processing the metal sheet into shape, and then carrying out pre-treatment and coating. This means that spraying operations are cumbersome and inefficient after each sheet is formed.
The PCM home appliance board is coated during the aluminum coil stage, and subsequent cutting, stamping, and other forming operations only need to be performed on the coated aluminum coil, greatly simplifying the production process and improving production efficiency.
2. Significant cost differences
The post spraying process requires pre-treatment and coating of each formed sheet, which not only consumes a lot of time and labor costs, but also results in relatively high coating loss.
In contrast, PCM home appliance boards are coated during the aluminum coil stage, resulting in high coating utilization and improved production efficiency, which also reduces the production cost per unit product.
3. Different environmental performance
The post spraying process generates a large amount of volatile organic compounds during the spraying process, causing environmental pollution.
The production process of PCM home appliance boards is relatively environmentally friendly. During the aluminum coil coating stage, pollution can be centrally treated, which can effectively reduce environmental pollution.
3、 The advantages of PCM home appliance board are fully demonstrated

1. Outstanding basic characteristics
The color coated aluminum coils used in household appliances and electronic products produced by Litong Aluminum Industry have excellent basic performance. It has excellent wiping resistance. In daily use, whether it is stains, dust, or fingerprints, they can be easily cleaned with a gentle wipe, keeping the appearance of household appliances clean and beautiful at all times.
2. Strong environmental adaptability
Litong Aluminum's household appliances and electronic products use color coated aluminum coils to enhance their moisture resistance and resistance to wet and hot cycles in humid kitchen and bathroom environments. They can withstand frequent changes in temperature and humidity, preventing rusting and deformation of the panels. Moreover, aluminum coils are resistant to hydrochloric acid, oil stains, and corrosion from cleaning agents, allowing PCM home appliance boards to maintain good performance even in environments such as kitchens with heavy oil stains and frequent use of cleaning agents.
3. Excellent processing performance
In terms of processing performance, Litong Aluminum's color coated aluminum coils for household appliances and electronic products also perform well. The T-bending requirement for aluminum coil coating is controlled within the range of 0-1T, and the sheet has good flexibility and plasticity, which can be easily processed into various complex shapes, providing strong support for the diversified design of household appliances.
4、 Application areas of PCM home appliance board

Thanks to its excellent performance, Litong Aluminum's color coated aluminum coils for home appliances and electronic products are widely used in the home appliance field. In addition to providing TV backboards to South Korean company LG, it is also widely used in refrigerator panels and side panels, air conditioning side panels, laptop panels, washing machine cases, water heater barrels, and microwave oven casings.
The color coated aluminum coils produced by Litong Aluminum Industry for household appliances and electronic products have shown great potential in the field of household appliances, and more and more household appliance manufacturers are choosing pre coated metal plates.
