What surface energy properties affect paint adhesion to composite material outdoor bar stools?

The adhesion of paint to composite material outdoor bar stools is significantly influenced by surface energy properties. Surface energy determines how well a coating spreads and bonds to the substrate. Low surface energy materials, such as certain composites, often repel paint, leading to poor adhesion and peeling. To improve paint performance, surface treatments like plasma cleaning or primers can increase surface energy, ensuring better wetting and bonding. Understanding these properties helps achieve durable, weather-resistant finishes for outdoor furniture. Proper preparation and material selection are key to long-lasting paint adhesion on composite stools.
