Pinhole & Porosity

Premature corrosion & Porosity Pinhole of a substrate is usually due to a coating failure. A major cause is the presence of flaws in the finished coating. Collectively referred to as porosity, the main types of flaws are: Runs & Sags: Coatings move under gravity leaving a thin dry film. Cissing: When a coating does not re-flow to cover the voids generated by air bubbles being released from the surface of a coating. Cratering: If the substrate is wet or the coating has poor flow characteristics, voids are created in the coating. Pinholes: Caused by air entrapment which is then released from the...
