Synopsis : A high-grade prepainted steel sheet "RIVER PREC", developed by Kawasaki Steel has been in production since 1978 for a wide range of end-uses, such as refrigerators and many other household appliances. RIVER PREC saves appliance makers from painting jobs conventionally required after fabrication using the post-coating method. It therefore has been enjoying a favorable reaception from users because of its pleasing appearance and superior coating properties, such a excellent workability and high resistance to scratch, stain, and corrosion. The launching of RIVER PREC production required considerable remodeling of the conventional line, with emphasis on the development of a paint of sufficient workability, improvements in base sheet flatness and other surface property control, and the dust-proofing of the existing coating line. This report outlines the characteristics of RIVER PREC and the features of manufacturing. |
