GLOSSARY TERM

Impact Resistance

The ability of a paint film to withstand mechanical impact without damage.

INFO

What it is

Impact resistance is a coating's ability to withstand a knock or blow without chipping, cracking, or flaking. It reflects how tough and well-bonded the film is.

Why it matters

In busy environments, surfaces take regular knocks. A coating with good impact resistance keeps its appearance and protection intact, reducing touch-ups and premature wear.

Where it is used on a project

Important on doors, frames, railings, shopfronts, and other surfaces in high-traffic commercial and public areas.

How NECC approaches it

For surfaces that take wear, we specify durable, well-adhered coating systems and prepare the surface properly, so the finish resists knocks and stays looking good.
