Paint failure can be classified in several ways In this module, we limit our discussions on the following categories 1.Product-related failures 2.Substrate-related failures 3.Application-related failures

Product related failures occur as a result of some issues in the paint formulation, quality of the raw material used or manufacturing process Examples of product related failures include: •Cracking  •Chalking •Foaming & Cratering •Poor scrub resistance •Discoloration •Poor drying, curing, etc.
