Dark Bubble — Phenomena, Causes and Solutions

1、Problem:Dark bubble

2、Phenomenon:The bubbles are suspended in the paint film without breaking, which seriously affects the appearance. Generally it appears in the bright light system. This phenomenon is caused by the reaction of isocyanate (-NCO) and moisture (H2O). Therefore, dark bubble is unique to polyurethane paint.

3、Causes and solutions

Causes

Solutions

Moisture (water)   reacts with curing agent.

Properly control   the temperature and humidity of the construction environment. Stop   construction when the air humidity is greater than 80%.

The paint is too   viscous.

Use matching   thinner to dilute the paint reasonably. (Use as little as possible   low-boiling solvents such as butyl ester, ethyl ester and toluene, and use   solvents with a boiling point higher than 160°.)

The solvent   evaporates too fast during curing.

Control the   temperature and extend the surface drying time of the paint film to extend   the opening time of the paint film.
