GLOSSARY TERM

Peel Resistance

The ability of paint to resist peeling from the surface.

INFO

What it is

Peel resistance is a coating's ability to stay firmly bonded to the surface without lifting, flaking, or peeling away over time. It is closely tied to adhesion.

Why it matters

Peeling is one of the most visible and common coating failures, and once it starts it spreads. Good peel resistance keeps the finish intact and avoids costly early repairs.

Where it is used on a project

Important on all coated surfaces, and especially on smooth or previously coated substrates and weather-exposed exteriors where adhesion is tested.

How NECC approaches it

We prepare surfaces thoroughly and use the correct primer and compatible system, so coatings bond firmly and resist peeling for the long term.
