Your Guide to Bare-to-Finish Solutions for Paint Peeling on Walls

Let Nippon Paint House Pakar tell you all about resolving paint peeling problems from bare to finish.

What Causes Paint Peeling on Walls?

Peeling and flaking of paint can weaken the surface protection ability. When the paint film is exposed to moisture, dirt, and daily wear, this can lead to swelling, warping, rusting, or surface deterioration over time. Nippon Paint’s Bare-to-Finish Solutions are necessary to enhance durability, and prevents recurring peeling over time.

Improper Surface Preparation

If surfaces aren’t properly cleaned and primed, paint may peel over time. Always ensure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free, and apply a suitable primer for better adhesion and a longer-lasting finish.

Incompatible Paint Types

Make sure the sealers, primers, and paints you use are designed to work together. Different paint types have different properties, and mixing them wrongly can cause peeling and other problems.

Humidity & Moisture

When water gets trapped under the paint, it can loosen the bond and cause peeling. Changes in temperature also make walls expand and shrink, putting stress on the paint layer. Over time, this movement can cause the paint to crack and peel.

If peeling paint keeps happening, it is often a sign that the right steps or products were missed earlier. By using a complete bare-to-finish solution that is designed to work together, you can repair the damage properly and reduce the risk of peeling happening again. Nippon Paint’s Bare-to-Finish Solutions are created to protect your interior walls against moisture and long-term wear, so you can enjoy a smoother finish and longer-lasting results with confidence.
