Ordinary pressure-sensitive tape ("Scotch tape") displays a glowing line where the end of the tape is being pulled away from the roll. [10] Soviet scientists observed in 1953 that unpeeling a roll of tape in a vacuum produced X-rays. [11] The mechanism of X-ray generation was studied further in 2008.

In the paint and coating industries, paint adhesion testing is often used to determine if the paint or coating will adhere properly to the substrates to which they are applied. Several tests measure the resistance of paints and coatings from substrates: cross-cut test, scrape adhesion, pull-off test , and others.

[1] The texture resembles the surface of the skin of an orange, hence the name "orange peel".

Crazing is a spider web pattern of cracks penetrating the glaze. It is caused by tensile stresses greater than the glaze is able to withstand. [1] [2] Common reasons for such stresses are: a mismatch between the thermal expansions of glaze and body; from moisture expansion of the body; and in the case of glazed tiles fixed to a wall, movement of the wall or of the bonding material used to fix ...
This means a roof coating actually becomes the top layer of a composite roof membrane and underlying system. As such, the roof coating is the topmost layer of protection for the membrane, receiving the impact of sunlight (both infrared and ultraviolet (UV)), rain, hail and physical damage. Roof Coatings should not be confused with deck coatings.
