Symptoms

A craquelé effect or cracking appears.

Cause

• Different paint systems intermixed
• The paint system shows a powdery surface
• Too brittle paint system caused by ageing
• Applied product cannot follow the movements of the inorganic substrate and/or underlying paint layers

Solution

Remove all paint layers and apply a new, fitting paint system. Poros substrates shall be saturated with [Alpha Dispersion Primer or equivalent]. Apply two coats of [Alphatex IQ] or [Alpha Topcoat or equivalent].
