| Why are coatings difficult to adhere to plastics? |
| |
| Plastic substrates have low surface energy compared to other materials and are thus difficult to wet. Plastic substrates are also nonporous and resistant to most solvents. The plastic surface gives coatings little opportunity to penetrate the surface or physically lock into surface irregularities that would improve adhesion.
