In 2026, our factory successfully delivered 10 tons of 1060 H24 white color coated aluminum coil (0.6 × 1200 mm) to a roofing material distributor in Nigeria. This case study outlines the customer background, technical requirements, our solution and the final project results, offering a practical reference for overseas buyers sourcing coated aluminum coils for roofing applications.
Customer Background
The client is a building materials distributor based in Lagos, Nigeria, serving roofing contractors and metal roof tile fabricators across West Africa. Driven by rapid infrastructure growth and strong demand for durable, weather-resistant roofing, the customer needed a reliable supplier of prepainted aluminum coil with consistent color and stable mechanical properties.

Our Solution
Based on the customer's market and processing method, we recommended 1060 H24 color coated aluminum coil in white, with a specification of 0.6 mm × 1200 mm. This combination balances formability, strength and cost, making it an ideal substrate for roll-formed roofing tiles in tropical climates.
- Alloy 1060: a high-purity aluminum with excellent corrosion resistance, formability and a smooth surface — ideal for paint adhesion and bright, uniform color.
- H24 temper: delivers medium hardness and good elongation, so the coil can be roll-formed into roof tiles without cracking or warping.
- 0.6 mm thickness: strong enough for structural roofing yet light enough to reduce transport and installation costs.
- 1200 mm width: matches the customer's roll-forming line, minimizing off-cut waste.
- White color coating: high solar reflectance helps lower indoor temperatures, a key selling point in hot West African markets.

Why This Coil Fits Nigeria's Roofing Market
- Weather resistance: the color coating resists UV radiation, rain and humidity, keeping the white finish bright under strong sunlight.
- Corrosion resistance: 1060 aluminum forms a dense oxide layer, protecting against rust in coastal and humid environments.
- Heat reflection: the white surface reflects solar heat, improving comfort and energy efficiency for end users.
- Easy processing: the H24 temper offers excellent formability for profiling, bending and cutting on site.
- Light weight: aluminum roofing is far lighter than steel, reducing structural load and installation time.
Quality Control & Inspection
Before shipment, every batch was inspected according to our ISO 9001 quality system. Coating thickness, color consistency, mechanical properties and surface quality were all verified, and a full test report was provided with the shipment. The coil set and flatness were controlled to ensure smooth roll forming on the customer's line.
Packing & Shipping
- Eye to sky / eye to wall packing on wooden pallets.
- Waterproof paper and protective film to prevent moisture damage during ocean transport.
- Delivery within 7–15 days after deposit, shipped by sea freight to Lagos, Nigeria.
