Chalking

Chalking

Formation of fine powder on the surface of paint film during weathering can cause colour fading. Although some degree of chalking is a normal, desirable way for a paint film putty to wear off, excessive film erosion can result in heavy chalking.

Causes:

  • Use of a low-grade, highly pigmented paint.
  • Use of an interior paint for an outdoor application.
  • Alkaline substrate
  • Low quality putty

Solution:

  • First, remove as much of the chalk residue as possible, using a stiff bristle brush (or wire brush on masonry) and completely dust off and clean surface using dampened cloth.
  • Check for any remaining chalk by running a hand over the surface after cleaning. Apply a coat of Wall Sealer and surface can be repainted from any Diamond Paints’ topcoats.
  • Alkaline surfaces must be dried before application of any paint.
  • Never use interior paint or interior putty for exterior surface.
