Graffiti Removal and Protection

NANOCOATINGS® anti-graffiti treatments create on the surface a protective barrier with high adhesion and resistance, designed to prevent paints and defacing materials from anchoring firmly to the substrate. The coating, based on silicon dioxide (SiO₂), also protects the surface from moisture, limits the build-up of dirt and helps keep it easier to clean over time. The treatment can be applied to many surfaces, including those that are already painted, and is particularly suitable for vehicles, street furniture, façades, wall coverings and items exposed to vandalism.

After treatment, graffiti can be removed more easily using neutral or alcohol-based detergents and, in the case of particularly rough surfaces, with the help of a soft-bristle brush. The surface can be cleaned several times without having to reapply the product after each intervention, except in conditions of heavy mechanical wear. The high uniformity of the coating reduces the adhesion of defacing materials and makes it possible to limit maintenance time and costs, avoiding in many cases more invasive interventions or the replacement of damaged elements.

Anti-graffiti treatments can be applied to:

• marble, stone and travertine
• plaster and mineral surfaces
• metals
• wood
• plastics
• ceramics
• painted surfaces

In the case of particularly porous substrates it may be necessary to apply a specific primer in order to optimise the adhesion and performance of the treatment. The protection is permanent over time in the absence of heavy mechanical wear or abrasion of the surface.
