Common problems and preventive measures in coating construction

 "Inexperienced construction workers often have problems such as peeling, pinholes, and blistering when spraying paint.

 What is causing such a problem? How to prevent and solve?"

1. Peeling 
Undercutting refers to the phenomenon of peeling and peeling caused by the solvent in the upper coating that softens and swells the bottom paint film, resulting in poor adhesion of the bottom paint film.


Causes:
(1) The topcoat film is too thick, swelling the underlying primer, causing the primer coating to wrinkle and cause biting; 
(2) The topcoat is sprayed before the primer coating is not dry;
(3) The primer does not match the top coat. For example, the primer uses polyurethane paint series, and the top paint uses acrylic paint or epoxy paint; 
(4) If the bottom putty is not dry, start applying the primer, then when applying the top paint, the primer It will be melted up, resulting in a "bottom biting" phenomenon.
Prevention and solution: 
After the bottom coating is completely dry, brush the surface coating. The operation should be accurate and rapid to prevent repeated brushing. For serious undercutting phenomenon, it is necessary to remove the coating completely, and then select the same kind of coating to brush after the base is dry.

2. Pinholes
The pinhole phenomenon of the paint film refers to the phenomenon of pinpoint pores that appear on the surface of the paint film. This needle is small in shape, like a needle-punched hole, with a diameter of about 100 mm.



Causes:
(1) The viscosity of the paint is too high, one coat is thick, the filling hole does not contain air; 
(2) The spraying air pressure is too high, the paint is mixed with too much air;
(3) Oil, dust and sweat are attached on the coated surface, and the water is accumulated around these impurities;
(4) When the coating is dried by heating, the temperature is too high, the standing time is not enough before the coating is heated, the solvent is not fully volatilized, bubbles are brought into the coating itself, and the bubbles generated during mixing are not eliminated.
Prevention and solution: 
Check the coating process conditions, adjust the appropriate coating viscosity, use appropriate amount of diluent and curing agent to control the thickness of the coating; improve the working environment and control the appropriate temperature and humidity; after the coating is prepared, it should stand for 20 minutes before spraying; when heating and drying the coating, control the standing time to make the solvent fully volatilize, and then preheat the coating.

3.Blistering
Blistering means that a part of the coating film bulges upward from the coated surface or the base coating, and contains moisture or air inside, and the size is 0.5 mm ~ 5 mm in diameter. Most of the time it appears in pieces, rarely appears alone, similar to the human Prickly heat in hot and humid weather.


Cause:
 Generally speaking, there are far more opportunities in the topcoat than between the paint and the substrate. The bottom line is moisture or dirt trapped under the paint film. Solvent bubbles or stirring air bubbles are mostly caused by bottom pollution or insufficient cleaning, tool pollution, poor spraying environment, or unmatched curing agent or thinner, etc., which will appear at the same time as spraying, while bubbling defects caused by water vapor are generally sprayed. After the shortest few minutes, the longest to appear after more than a month.
Prevention and solution: 
Use a nail to break the bubble to determine the depth of the bubble, and use a low-power magnifying glass to find out the cause of the bubble. When air bubbles occur between the paint layers, the defective area can be polished off, and the paint layer is exposed before repainting. If the defect is serious or air bubbles occur between the primer and the substrate, all the paint layer on the substrate should be removed and then sprayed again.

Standard Basketball Court Size

  1. The playing   basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. The ratio of long money: 28:15. The area of the competition area is 28*15=420 m2. 2. Line: The width is 0.05 meters (5 cm).     Boundary: The court boundary is at least 2 meters away from spectators, billboards or any other obstacles. The boundary on the long side of the court is called the sideline, and the boundary on the short side is called the endline. 3. Free throw line, restricted area and penalty area: the area of the three-second zone = (3.6+6)*5.8/2=27.84m2 1. The free throw line should be parallel to the end line, and its outer edge is 5.80 meters away from the inner edge of the end line; this line is 3.60 meters long. Its midpoint must fall on the imaginary line connecting the midpoints of the two end lines. 2. The ground area formed by drawing two lines from both ends of the free throw line to 3 meters from the midpoint of the end line (both measured from the outer edge)...

How to choose materials for the gym floor?

  The choice of floor materials is often the easiest to be overlooked in the gym decoration design, but the choice of floor materials is very important for a gym. Gyms are generally indoors. Although the choice of floor materials does not have any effect in the decoration, But for those who come to exercise, the impact is still great.   The gym floor uses a variety of materials, such as solid wood flooring, composite flooring, rubber wood flooring, laminate flooring, solid wood composite flooring , thin carpets, PVC vinyl  flooring,artificial grass,rubber mat etc.   However, many people experience knee and foot pain and leg pain after fitness. This is caused by the poor shock absorption effect of the gym. A good gym floor needs to have the characteristics of strong impact resistance, good elasticity, waterproof and anti-skid.  Therefore, the choice of floor in the gym decoration is also very important. The following types of floor materials can be selected reaso...

Why does PVC floor warp?

  Many consumers may experience warping when using PVC flooring. When the cardboard is warped, consumers can determine that this is a flooring quality problem, and exactly what causes the PVC flooring to warp. 1. because the poor quality, it will cause warpage problems. The structural stability of PVC floor is poor, and it is easy to shrink or expand at the alternating temperature of cold and heat, so it is easy to warp. The PVC floor production standard of the regular manufacturer, the floor quality is guaranteed, durable, and can reduce the chance of warping. 2. Architectural attachments can also lead to floor edges. PVC floor surfacing accessories are often used in latex, double-sided tape and pit knife glue. High-quality glue can make the floor and the ground stick together, and it is also very waterproof. If the glue is not good, it is easy to cause the floor to be weak and easy to bend. Of course, construction quality should not be ignored. Specialized construction personnel ...
