delaminated

Split into sheets

Delaminated describes something that has separated into layers, or had its layers come apart.

The term appears most often in technical contexts—composite materials, dental work, windshields, or manufactured goods where bonded layers have failed: The delaminated plywood was warped and useless.

What was once unified has split along its internal planes.
