PPGI & GI Coils Supplier in UAE — Color Coated & Galvanized Steel by Saffron Steel

Ready-stock Pre-Painted Galvanized (PPGI) and Galvanized Iron (GI) coils in the UAE — full range of thicknesses, widths, zinc coatings, paint systems and RAL colours for roofing, cladding, HVAC and fabrication.

Pre-Painted Galvanized Coils (PPGI)

As construction, infrastructure and manufacturing activity accelerates across the UAE and Middle East, demand for both Galvanized Iron (GI) coils and Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron (PPGI) coils continues to rise. GI coils provide the corrosion-resistant zinc base that protects steel in harsh Gulf climates, while PPGI coils add a durable, colour-finished top layer that eliminates site painting and delivers lasting curb appeal. Saffron Steel UAE supplies both materials ex-stock from Jebel Ali, with mill-certified quality and fast delivery across the GCC.

What Are GI Coils?

Galvanized Iron (GI) coils are cold-rolled steel coils that have been hot-dip coated with a layer of zinc. The zinc barrier protects the underlying steel from rust and corrosion, making GI coils the preferred choice for outdoor, humid and coastal environments.

GI coils are supplied with regular or minimized spangle finishes, in thicknesses from light gauge to heavy gauge, and with zinc coating weights from Z60 up to Z275 gsm. They are widely used as the substrate for PPGI coils and as a standalone material for ducting, roofing, cladding and fabrication.

What Are PPGI Coils?

Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron (PPGI) coils start as GI coils and then pass through a continuous coil coating line. A conversion coating, primer and top coat are applied and oven-cured in one continuous process, producing a uniform, factory-baked finish that resists UV, moisture and corrosion.

PPGI is available in a full RAL colour spectrum — including white, grey, blue, green, red and custom shades — with paint systems ranging from standard polyester (PE) to premium PVDF for architectural facades. The result is a low-maintenance, long-life material ideal for roofing, cladding, sandwich panels and appliances.

Where GI & PPGI Coils Are Used

Both GI and PPGI coils are essential across the UAE construction and manufacturing sectors. Common applications include:

  • Roofing and wall cladding for warehouses, factories, villas and industrial sheds
  • HVAC ducting, ventilation systems and air handling units
  • Sandwich panels for cold storage, clean rooms and modular buildings
  • Electrical panels, cable trays, enclosures and switchgear
  • Rolling shutters, garage doors, ceiling systems and partitions
  • White goods, appliances, furniture and general sheet-metal fabrication
