Anti-Graffiti Protection

Anti-graffiti-protection coatings (TRB)

Anti-graffiti-protection coatings consist of several components (sometimes these coatings only consist of one component that is usually a dissolved or dispersed agent) that cover or penetrate the concerning surfaces.

Anti-graffiti-protection coatings make it easier to remove graffiti. There is no protection coating which would be suitable for all possible undergrounds. In order to ensure a qualified order execution, a certified enterprise should accomplish an individual examination before.

Characteristics of Anti-Graffiti-protection coatings

Temporary protection coatings

Advantages: Disadvantages:
  • reversible
  • less expensive than permanent systems
  • easily applyable
  • protection coating hardly visible
  • some of them can easily be cleaned with water
  • very good watersteam permeability
  • depending on the system and surface: protection lasts several years
  • limited effectiveness to a certain extent
  • maintenance is required

Semi-permanent protection coatings

Advantages: Disadvantages:
  • One-layer-systems: less expensive than permanent systems
  • protection coating hardly visible
  • Two-layer-systems: selection of sacrifical layers is possible
  • Using this system penetration of graffiti through the coating becomes more difficult
  • permeable-to-water-steam systems possible
  • durability to a certain extent
  • maintenance hardly necessary

Permanent protection coatings

Advantages: Disadvantages:
  • durable
  • adheres to many different surfaces
  • good graffiti removal
  • corrosion-resistant systems in different colours
  • not permeable to carbon dioxide
  • irreversible
  • not permeable to water steam
  • senitive to moisture in the masonry
  • in case of fire: development of cyanogen compounds possible
  • some systems become yellow

According to our experiences the following protection varieties are not recommendable:

  • Coating of natural stone using two-component-coats (e.g. polyurethane)
  • Coating of thermal insulation systems (if necessary after individual case examination possible)
  • Coating of dispersion paint layers (if necessary after individual case examination possible)
