Graffiti can be a costly and frustrating problem for commercial property owners. Beyond the immediate visual impact, repeated cleaning can damage surfaces and drive up maintenance costs. At Protective Polymers, we specialise in manufacturing high-performance anti-graffiti coatings that give businesses an effective, long-term solution.
How Anti-Graffiti Coatings Work
Anti-graffiti coatings create a protective barrier on surfaces that prevents paints, inks, and markers from bonding. Instead of penetrating into the material, graffiti sits on the surface, making it much easier to clean.
We produce two main types:
- Sacrificial Coatings – A clear layer applied to the surface that is removed (or “sacrificed”) during cleaning, taking the graffiti with it. A new layer is then reapplied.
- Permanent Coatings – Highly durable finishes that can be cleaned multiple times without needing reapplication, offering years of protection.
Both options are engineered to maintain the look of your building while offering robust defence against vandalism.
How Long They Last
- Sacrificial coatings typically protect for 1–2 years before reapplication is needed, depending on exposure and frequency of cleaning.
- Permanent coatings can last 5–10 years or more, especially when maintained according to our guidelines.
Our coatings are tested for weather resistance, UV stability, and cleaning durability, so you can count on them to stand up to the elements.
