Technical Profile

Aero Enterprises supplies secondary P&O sheets (second quality pickled and oiled sheets) in Mumbai at 15-20% discount versus prime material. Secondary pickled & oiled sheets have minor cosmetic imperfections - slight surface marks, oil staining variations, edge irregularities - but maintain the scale-free clean surface and excellent weldability that P&O is valued for. Located in Vasai East, we stock thicknesses from 2mm to 5mm in standard 8x4 ft size, ideal for cost-conscious applications: tube manufacturing, welding-intensive projects, automotive structural parts for painting, budget fabrication work, and applications where clean weldable surface matters more than perfect cosmetics. Same-day dispatch for Mumbai industrial buyers with transparent quality disclosure.

What are Secondary P&O Sheets?

Secondary P&O sheets (second quality pickled and oiled sheets) are HRPO material that doesn't meet prime visual standards due to minor cosmetic defects from pickling, oiling, or handling processes. Common imperfections include: surface rust spots (despite oiling), uneven oil coating, slight re-oxidation marks, edge damage or irregularities, minor dimensional variations (±1-2mm), light surface scratches, or storage marks. Critically, secondary P&O sheets retain the scale-free pickled surface - the mill scale has been chemically removed through acid pickling. This means excellent weldability and paint adhesion are maintained. The base steel quality, structural properties, and forming characteristics remain equivalent to prime P&O. For tube mills, welding projects, and painted fabrication where surface will be processed further, secondary P&O offers the key benefit (scale-free surface) at 15-20% cost savings versus prime material.

Technical Q&A

Verified Procurement Intelligence

What's the difference between secondary P&O and regular HR?
Even secondary P&O has scale-free pickled surface, which regular HR lacks. HR requires descaling before welding; P&O (even secondary) can be welded directly after light rust cleaning. Secondary P&O is still superior to prime HR for welding applications.
How much can I save with secondary P&O sheets?
15-20% savings vs prime P&O. Example: 3mm sheet prime = ₹4,260, secondary = ₹3,450 (saving ₹810 per sheet). For tube mill using 200 sheets/month, that's ₹162,000 monthly savings - nearly ₹2 million annually.
Will rust spots affect weld quality?
No, if cleaned before welding. The underlying pickled surface is scale-free. Light wire brushing or grinding removes surface rust in seconds. Weld penetration and quality match prime P&O after minimal prep.
Can secondary P&O be used for tube manufacturing?
Yes, commonly used. The forming process (tube rolling) creates uniform interior surface regardless of starting condition. Surface rust on exterior can be cleaned post-forming. Many tube mills use secondary P&O for cost-effective production.
Is the oil coating still protective on secondary P&O?
Partially. Some sheets may have degraded or uneven oil. Expect light surface rust on arrival. For immediate use (welding/forming), this is fine. For storage beyond 2-3 weeks, apply rust preventive oil or primer.
What thickness is best for tube manufacturing?
2-3mm for standard ERW tubes, 3-4mm for structural tubes. Secondary P&O works well as interior surface becomes uniform after forming. Exterior can be cleaned or painted as needed.
Can I inspect material before buying?
Yes, site visits encouraged at Vasai facility. For bulk orders (20+ sheets), we provide detailed condition photos via WhatsApp. P&O secondary varies more than HR/GI secondary, so visual inspection helps set expectations.
How is secondary P&O priced - by condition severity?
Yes, we grade as 'light rust' (minimal prep), 'moderate rust' (standard wire brushing), or 'heavy rust' (grinding recommended). Price varies by grade. We're transparent about condition so you know prep requirements upfront.
Do you deliver secondary P&O in Navi Mumbai?
Yes, delivery across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane. Minimum 5 sheets for economic delivery. For tube mills or regular fabricators, we establish delivery schedules based on your production needs.
What if rust is heavier than described?
Returns accepted if condition worse than specified grade. We provide condition photos for 20+ sheet orders. Material sold as-is for disclosed condition, but we're honest about rust severity to prevent disputes.
