One of the most common problems associated with paint jobs is peeling paint. Many painting jobs are actually requested as a result of peeling paint and therefore the most common question asked is “how do you prevent peeling paint?” Unfortunately, the answer to this question is not straight forward. For paint to peel it can be a result of many different causes, but it is basically where paint cannot get a proper grip on the substrate (surface) itself.
1. Moisture and Water
Peeling paint is most commonly created when water gets under the paint. Therefore, the most common areas for peeling paint to occur are in the wet areas of the structure, such as bathroom, laundry, and kitchens. However, there may be other issues with the premises such as excess humidity on air-conditioned areas, leaky roof, and lack of positive-side waterproofing.
2. Inadequate Preparation
Before a paint job begins it is essential to ensure the area to be painted is cleaned with mild soap solutions and allowed to dry completely. Dirty walls are a precursor to peeling paint and will most definitely lead to peeling paint. If a coat of paint is applied over a dirty surface, it is almost guaranteed to peel or crack in the future. It is also important that a good primer is used in the preparation phase to help assure adhesion of the paint. Sometimes an incorrect primer is used, or the problem could be simpler - no primer at all was used.
3. Age and Deterioration
Paint does not last forever. Like all of us a paint job ages and this is the simplest cause of peeling paint. If the paint has been exposed to the elements and exterior forces, it will eventually suffer from wear and tear. The extent of damage can worsen as the paint ages.
4. Lack of Binder
Sometimes, the paint used lacks the binder ingredient the holds the pigments and fillers together. With a poor quality paint, problems in peeling or chalking will arise sooner or later.
Repainting walls with chalky or loose paint has always been a laborious task. Traditionally, people use paint strippers and manually scrape off all the paint before recoating the wall.
Fortunately, you don't have to go through all of that anymore. After watching this, you'll discover a better way to restore chalky/flaking paint before repainting your wall.
Buildrite Tofil 806 is a binder for loose or powdery surfaces of bare plasters, paints, and skim coats. It is used to provide a sound preparatory surface before applying a subsequent coating instead of removing chalky skim coats or loose/flaking paints. After applying Tofil 806, you can already apply a topcoat because it also serves as a primer.
