The appearance of non-gloss paint on an exterior surface due to chemical deterioration and removal by weather
The result of weathering of a paint film resulting in a white powdery appearance
A term used to describe the quality of print on paper where the absorption of the paper is so great that it breaks up the ink image creating loose pigment dust
a screen printed ink in which the pigment is not properly bound to the substrate and can be easily rubbed off in the form of a powder, usually after exposure to the elements
the degradation or migration of an ingredient, in paints, coatings, or other materials
Formation of a friable powder on the surface of a coating giving a chalky appearance Caused by disintegration of the binder by weathering (oxidation and or UV degradation) and release of the pigments and/or extenders at the surface The "Chalk" can be removed from the surface by rubbing which reveals the original colour beneath If left the clalk will generally reappear Epoxy coatings are paticularly prone to the phenemenon Not to be confused with FADING CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO ENLARGEPHOTOS COURTESY KVB
The formation of a friable powdery coating on the surface of a paint film, generally caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation resulting in a loss of gloss
A term that describes improper drying of ink, in which pigment dusts off because the ink has been absorbed too rapidly into the paper
Formation of a powdery surface condition due to disintegration of surface binder or elastomer due in turn to weathering or other destructive environments Chalking may be detected by rubbing the film with the fingertip It can be measured by rubbing a piece of felt or velvet of contrasting color across the sample and comparing the amount of chalk picked up by the cloth with the photographic standards shown in ASTM D-699
Deterioration of a printed image caused by ink that absorbs into paper too fast or has long exposure to sun, and wind making printed images look dusty Also called crocking
deterioration of a printed image caused if ink absorbs into paper too fast or has long exposure to sun making image look dusty Also called crocking
Deterioration of the surface of an exterior paint upon weathering into a faded, powdery substance Chalking occurs when the paint's binder is degraded by harsh environmental conditions Chalk should be removed prior to repainting
Formation of a powder on the surface of a paint film caused by disintegration of the binder during weathering Can be affected by the choice of pigment or binder
Formation of a powdery surface condition due to disintegration of surface binder or elastomer, caused by weathering or other destructive environments
(Corrosion Eng ) The development of loose removable powder at or beneath a coating on metallic surfaces
