“Finally…Graffiti Removal Can be as Simple as Cleaning a Window.”
Protect Your Property and Signage from Expensive and Unsightly Graffiti
Using the Latest and Most Effective Anti-Graffiti Coatings.
Graffiti vandalism is on the increase and the risk of your valuable building not just being tagged with a single word of graffiti, but totally covered is greater than ever before!

Insurance companies are starting to restrict cover for sites vulnerable to repeated graffiti attack. So as the owner of a valuable asset, you need to be taking precautions to limit your risk profile.
But there are other factors you want as well aren't there?
- You want a protective coating, but don't want to see it's there.
- You want to reduce the costs involved in removing graffiti, because that’s good money you could be spending elsewhere.
- You don't want the coating to attract dirt and grime to your building’s facade making it look dirty quicker. But you do want it to help reduce staining on your building.
- You want flexibility and be able to remove the coating if corporate colours need to be changed on the building
- You want a coating that is quick to remove the graffiti off so that your risk and exposure to OH&S risks on site during the removal process is minimal.
We understand!
That’s why our R&D team works hard to stay on top of developments and test all products thoroughly before they are released to the market in order to be able to advise you on the best coating system and solution for your application – no one coating fits all!
If you’re a property owner or manager and you’re worried about graffiti, we can provide peace of mind. Our anti-graffiti coatings:
- Minimize the cost of graffiti removal.
- Protect the appearance of your building.
- Speed up graffiti removal.
- Provide peace of mind.
Graffiti vandals can strike anywhere at any time-even in respectable areas where graffiti is rare. Graffiti vandals use a wide variety of pens, spray cans, and other implements. The cost of removal can quickly run into thousands-and even tens of thousands of dollars.
Fortunately, anti-graffiti coatings have improved significantly in the last five years and it’s now relatively easy to protect buildings and signs from graffiti vandals. In many cases, anti-graffiti coatings can make graffiti removal as simple as cleaning dirt off a window.
A Barrier Against Graffiti
Anti-graffiti coatings provide a barrier on the outside of a surface that prevents graffiti being absorbed into the exterior building material. This barrier can also protect against pollution and dirt.
There are two types of anti-graffiti coatings.
- Sacrificial Coatings.
- Long Life Coatings.
Both provide protection against graffiti. Which one you choose depends on your building and your budget.
Sacrificial Coatings
Sacrificial Coatings have an acrylic base. The graffiti removal process with sacrificial coatings removes the graffiti and coating. After graffiti removal, the coating must be patch repaired and applied again. Sacrificial Coatings are best for parts of a building not likely to get targeted by graffiti regularly. Sacrificial coatings are especially suitable for sandstone, wood, and heritage listed buildings.
Advantages of Sacrificial Coatings
- Less expensive.
- Easier to apply.
- Nobody will notice the coating.
- Water based.
- Low sheen appearance.
Disadvantages of Sacrificial Coatings
- Coating life is four years.
- Available in clear only.
- Coatings can’t be used to cover existing graffiti.
- Once graffiti is removed the coating needs to be re-applied.
- Coatings are broken down by UV light over time.
Long Life Coatings
Long life coatings comprise a two pack polyethylene base. The coating forms a hard base that allows special cleaning solutions to be used. These solutions can dissolve graffiti quickly-without affecting the coating.
These coatings have a life of up to 10 years assuming they are maintained and cleaned correctly. Long life coatings can protect your building for 10 years against graffiti penetration. Removal can be performed hundreds of times and is “spray and wipe” easy-just like cleaning a window.
Advantages of Long Life Coatings
- Makes graffiti removal simple-just use the correct removal chemical.
- Available in polyurethane and water base to provide different looks.
- Extremely durable (up to 10 years with proper maintenance).
- Available in all sheen levels.
- Available in all Australian standard colours.
- Graffiti can be removed multiple times.
- Helps protect buildings from dirt, pollution, and mould staining.
Disadvantages of Long Life Coatings
- More expensive.
- Graffiti removal requires the correct chemicals.

Applying Anti-Graffiti Coatings to Different Surfaces
When it comes to protecting a building against graffiti, it's important to use different approaches to different materials.
- Painted Surfaces. In some cases it can be quicker and less expensive to repaint a wall. However, anti-graffiti coatings can eliminate colour matching and paint fade issues.
- Brick and Masonry. Coatings are the best option for graffiti protection. Coatings can also protect against carbonation.
- Colourbond. Can be coated but coating is not required: graffiti can be cleaned off this surface easily in its natural state.
- Wood. Sacrificial coatings can be applied onto wooden surfaces provided the coating allows the wood to breathe. Wood expands and contracts in various weather conditions and requires a pliable coating.
- Metal Surfaces. Coatings can be applied to metal surfaces. However, in most cases, it's overkill: graffiti can be removed with the correct cleaning solutions and expertise. Removing graffiti from more complex surface coatings like zincalume and galvanising can be more challenging. Coatings should be used for these more complex surface coatings.

Coating Signage
Graffiti vandals regularly target signage. And signs can be extremely expensive to replace. A quality long life gloss anti-graffiti coating will protect a sign and extend its life by many years, not only from graffiti vandalism, but also UV degradation.





Anti-Carbonation and Graffiti Coatings
Anti-carbonation coatings are used to prevent carbon dioxide entering concrete. Carbon Dioxide can damage concrete and damage its structural integrity. Anti-carbonation coatings are porous enough to let water vapour move in and out of the concrete, but the pores are too small for the large carbon dioxide molecule to pass through. This property provides anti-carbonation protection.
We've developed an anti-graffiti coating that doubles as an anti-carbonation coating. This effectively cuts application costs in half and has been approved by all of the road traffic authorities around Australia.
You Have a Choice...
Unfortunately, tens of thousands of graffiti vandals are roaming the streets of Australia, causing millions of dollars of damage.
You can hope you don't get 'tagged'
OR
You can gain the upper hand and be prepared by coating the exterior of your property so that removing graffiti becomes as easy as cleaning a window which in the long run will save you time and money.
