Anti-graffiti paint
Many permanent anti-graffiti paints on the market are based on 2-component systems, but a 1-component coating is also possible. Due to its chemistry, the 1-component coating promises excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. The curing reaction takes place in a wide temperature range by means of air humidity.
At 25 °C, the coating is tack-free after approx. 80 minutes and fully cured after seven days.
As with all anti-graffiti coatings, cleaning should be carried out as quickly as possible. As a rule, 80 bar and cold water are sufficient for cleaning; for older graffiti, warm water and a mild detergent may be required.
A different approach is taken with Lorama's directional formulation. It is applied as a sacrificial layer and washed off with the graffiti. The basis of this coating is boiled linseed oil and the polysaccharide resin Lorama LPR 76, which was already presented in our first issue. By varying the ratio of the two film formers, the service life of the coating, which is up to 18 months, and any cleaning work required can be customized. One advantage for many users will be the high proportion of renewable raw materials, but also the ability to remove the coating again if necessary.
Due to the oxidative hardening process, this system only becomes tack-free overnight. A high-pressure cleaner with a hot water connection is recommended for washing off.
In addition to these two systems, there are other ways of protecting surfaces from graffiti, e.g. by adding additives. There is no one solution for all, but we are happy to help you find your solution.
