n. ~ The separation of layers that compose an item. Notes:  Compact discs, video discs, photographic film, and magnetic tape are made up of several layers that are held together by mechanical or chemi [..]

1877, from de- + lamination.

A separation of the paper's surface.

The process of removing layers of thin, clear plastic film from a sheet previously subjected to the process of lamination. Because laminate adheres to the surface to which it is applied, delamination [..]

The separation of layers in an engineered/laminate through failure within the adhesive or at the bond between adhesive and laminate.

A failure in a laminating assembly characterized by the separation or loss of adhesion between plies, such as in built-up roofing or glue-laminated timber.

 – Separation between two layers of coating or the coating and the substrate.

 – A separation of the backing into two distinct layers, separation between laminations of a tape consisting of more than one backing, or the separation between filaments and backing of a filament-rei [..]

The separation of the individual plies (layers) in a laminated substrate. Typically caused by the failure of the adhesive between layers.

Separation between plies or within reconstituted wood due to adhesive bond failure. Separation in area immediately over or around a permitted defect does not constitute delamination. Back to Top

The separation of the secondary backing or attached cushion from the primary backing of the carpet.

Separation of the plies in a panel due to failure of the adhesive.  Usually caused by excessive moisture.

A laminar discontinuity such as an area of unbonded materials.

the separation of layers in a laminate because of failure of the adhesive, either in the adhesive itself or at the interface between the adhesive and the adherend.

The separation of the secondary backing or attached cushion from the primary backing of the carpet.

Occurs when glass separates from the vinyl inner layer (also known as Unbonded Area, or oil blow).

The failure of the bond between layers, as when windshield glass separates from the laminate, or when paint peels from the substrate beneath it.

The separation of the bonded layers of a sandwich construction panel. Check for this on the floors of used caravans, in particular.

A condition where wallpaper backing separates from the top or intermediate layer of vinyl. One frequent cause is excessive soaking. Some wallpaper, such as grasscloth and stringcloth, should relax onl [..]

Separation or splitting of laminate layers caused by lack of or inadequate adhesion, or by mechanical disruption such as peeling or shearing forces.

Separation of a membrane or other material from the backing material on which it is cast.

splitting of one cellular sheet or layer into two parallel layers.

Delamination is a failure mechanism for laminated materials. The loss of coating adhesion that leads to a loss in strength and mechanical appearance, as well as aesthetic.

a complex wear process where a machine surface is peeled away or otherwise removed by forces of another surface acting on it in a sliding motion.

The separation of limbs in a laminated bow due to either high heat, moisture, or a failed glue joint.

A rupture of a sheet of paper through the plane of the sheet, not necessarily breaking either surface.
