To increase the coating-peeling rate of an alkaline coating prescription for peeling coatings by adding pyrrole to the benzyl alcohol phase of a water drop-in-oil type emission having an aqueous phase and a continuous benzyl alcohol phase.

The alkaline prescription for peeling coatings contains a water drop-in-oil type emission having an aqueous phase and a continuous benzyl alcohol phase, and does not contain an organic amine activating agent. Therein, the benzyl alcohol phase is compounded with pyrrole in an amount effective for increasing the peeling rate, and preferably further a wax, a terpene, such as d-limonene, for retarding the evaporation rate of water and anisole for furthermore enhancing the peeling rate.
