Peeling

Why is paint peeling off from the surface

Peeling tends to be associated with soft and pliable fresh coatings which can be pulled away from or spontaneously flake away from the substrate or from between coats, due to loss of adhesion..

What are the possible causes?

  • Peeling is the reduction in bond strength of the paint film due to contamination or incompatibility of coats.
  • Condensation of substrate due to temperature changes.
  • Excessive moisture due to high humidity.

How can I fix the problem?

  • Scrap all the loose paint from the substrate.
  • Clean and degrease the substrate and make sure it is free from contamination.
  • Use the suitable primer followed by recommended top coat.
