Fouling

Fouling is the undesirable accumulation of unwanted materials on solid surfaces, distinguished from related degradation processes by its primary manifestation as a mass deposition phenomenon that impedes operational efficiency in engineering systems through the alteration of thermal, mechanical, or chemical surface properties.
