Nitocote AG

Graffiti stains on concrete or brick surfaces

Unfortunately, a huge number of open public areas, such as building facades, underground passages, bus stops, and railway stations, cannot always be monitored around the clock. This circumstance is often exploited by vandals who paint the walls of buildings and other listed objects using aerosol cans, permanent markers, and stickers. Such means are available for purchase, are quickly applied, which is convenient for offenders. An additional problem is that surfaces such as concrete or brick are quite difficult to clean. Ordinary painting over old mess or using aggressive chemicals and sandblasting requires significant financial costs and time, which vandals take advantage of. It is precisely to solve this problem that protective coatings like Nitocote AG are created. The coating is based on silicone elastomers, which create a physico-chemical barrier that ensures porosity and hydrophobicity of the substrate, as well as prevents the permanent adhesion of aerosol paint or marker paint to the surface. As a result, the paint can be easily washed off with water, and removing inscriptions does not pose a risk of damaging the material. Inscriptions can be removed up to 20 times without damaging the quality of the coating.
