Flaking

Flaking is an adhesion issue when paint flakes detach from a surface. It is commonly observed on painted wood and galvanised surfaces. The likely causes of flaking include inadequate application techniques and variations in the expansion and contraction of the paint and the substrate.

To provide more detailed information, an interactive visualisation tool called Coating Radar Details is available. It offers correlation tables, information on flaking (with and without a preferred direction), quantity and size data, a video demonstration, insights on blister formation, and a brief overview of ISO 4628-5.
