Peeling off

Delamination of paint from a plastic rearview mirror

When peeling or delamination refers to the sheet-like or scaly peeling off of a paint , for example an emulsion paint or a lacquer , to crack formation from the substrate.

causes

The following points can be named as the causes of peeling off a paint:

• Bad adhesion of the paint due to failure to pre-treat the substrate or as a result of burning on mineral paints.
• Aging or weathering due to weather influences (extreme heat, moisture or exposure to light).
• Under certain circumstances, layers of paint applied too thickly.
• Material defect

Premature peeling of coatings can be avoided by professional pre-treatment of substrates (special primers, dust-free and dry substrates).
