Peeling E Coat

I am in the automotive industry and have several clamps and brackets that are e-coated. In our application, the brackets and clamps are bent to hold hoses and tubes. These brackets and clamps have a tendency to peel when they are bent. Can anyone tell me why the e coating on parts (brackets / clamps) will peel when the part is bent?
Thank You
