Why New Painted walls peeling?

Why are the walls freshly painted but peeling, after they were put on a quality paint?
The case of peeled paint or flaking, it is very common and cause irritation, so sometimes we rush to blame the cause because we bought the paint, without first seeking the source.
Flaking paint could occur because the walls are damp conditions, it can happen due to seepage of water from the gutters are poorly constructed, or condition of the wall adjacent to the park. High soil water content in the park will be creeping up on the pore walls so that the wall is always wet. Or it could be because the wall is not good workmanship.
Mixture of cement and sand ill-fitting or wall drying process are not old enough, so that the walls still contain high alkali salt. If this happens it is quite difficult because we have to renovate the walls of the house because the problem was related to home construction.
Paint peeling off the walls But if conditions are good enough, another possibility is when the pengecatannya:
• The new wall conditions may not completely dry when painted.
• Use wall putty or plamir low quality, so that when painted, putty or plamir is lifted or some time later.
• Do not use a primer / primer or base paint alkali / alkaline primer used does not comply with the final paint system.
• Painting on a surface containing dust, kotoron, or oil so that the adhesion of paint to be reduced.
• Most of what often happens is that at the time of repainting, the old paint is scraped off first, so that the layers of old paint lekatnya less, or peel easily attracted by a new coat of paint whose quality is higher. Or it could be painting done on the old paint is whitewash, so it is easy to peel.
Once we know the cause, then the solution must be addressed:
• Improve the source of the leak, so the water does not seep into the wall
• scrape peeling paint layer until visible surface, then wipe the surface from dust and dirt, then coating with an alkaline base paint or primer, primer let it dry completely.
• Use paint with a good quality where good adhesion and elasticity, so the longer durability and no need to constantly repeat the painting. Use acrylic paint that contains mainly to the outer wall. In the initial layer of paint let dry apply a new perfect second layer and so on.
• Using low-quality paint is cheap, but when compared with the use of high quality wall paint, the adhesive power than better, broader sebarnya power and the color does not fade easily and does not peel origin applied in the right way.
Hopefully this information makes us so understand about the causes of some cases of peeling paint and the solution.
