When buying a refrigerator, first look at the appearance, that is, the appearance of the panel. Many people buy refrigerators, in addition to certain requirements for their capacity, they will also pay attention to the appearance design of the refrigerator, and whether the refrigerator is beautiful or not depends entirely on the front decorative panel. The panel materials of refrigerators are basically coated metal plates. Due to the high manufacturing cost of stainless steel panels and tempered glass panels, they are more used in refrigerators. Panels of different materials and processing methods have also become differentiated products of manufacturers, realizing a premium on the appearance of refrigerators. One of the methods, the common refrigerator panels on the market mainly include coated steel plates, color steel plates, stainless steel panels and tempered glass panels.
Most refrigerators are made of coated metal plates, which are mostly steel plates, and the surface is processed to prevent rusting. The processing methods can be roughly divided into two types, one is PCM panel, the other is VCM panel , The front of the color steel plate can be decorated with refrigerator magnets.
PCM panel, also known as color pre-coated panel, is a metal panel that is pre-coated with paint first, and then the coated metal panel is cut and formed into a refrigerator panel with a single color.
VCM panel, also known as color laminated film-coated panel, is to coat the surface of metal plate with PVC and PET film, so that various colors can be printed on the film, so refrigerator panels with colorful patterns or different textures can be produced. Even imitating the brushed texture of stainless steel, the application trend in refrigerators has been greater than that of PCM boards.
VCM panels can display a variety of different textures through different color filters, and the effects that PCM panels can achieve can be achieved by VCM panels.
In addition to the above-mentioned panels, there are stainless steel panels, tempered glass panels, plastic panels, acrylic panels and aluminum alloy panels, etc.
