Paint adhesion

Paint adhesion refers to how well paint sticks to a surface. Good adhesion occurs when the paint bonds securely with the material, preventing peeling or flaking. Factors influencing adhesion include surface cleanliness, texture, moisture levels, and surface preparation like sanding or priming. Proper adhesion ensures the paint remains durable, looks smooth, and lasts longer. If the surface is dirty, greasy, or not properly prepared, the paint may not stick well, leading to problems over time. Understanding and optimizing adhesion helps achieve a smooth, lasting finish in painting projects.
