class="col-md-12" data-post-description> <p><i>Vandalism is a widespread phenomenon in almost all urban settings, where graffiti, writings, and tags often deface building façades, street furniture, and public transport. Anti-graffiti paint is one solution to counteract and discourage them. In this article, we will look at what anti-graffiti coatings are, how they work, and where to apply them.</i></p><p>Anti-graffiti paints <b>are special coatings designed to protect public buildings and street furniture against graffiti</b>, making it easier to clean their surfaces without having to repaint them. </p><p>Anti-graffiti coatings are normally available in a wide range of colours and finishes, including transparent and metallic ones. Both <b>liquid and powder</b> products are available. The latter, be they polyester or polyurethane, are generally the most common ones. </p><p>They can be divided into two main types:</p><ul><li><b>Sacrificial anti-graffiti coatings</b>, called this way because they are applied and then “sacrificed”, i.e. removed together with the graffiti. </li><li><b>Permanent anti-graffiti coatings</b>, which do not degrade when the graffiti is removed.</li></ul><p>The type of paint to be applied depends on the substrate and the desired effect. However, permanent anti-graffiti coatings are more popular, as they allow graffiti to be removed with <b>a commonly used solvent</b> without damaging the underlying surface or compromising the coating. This means that permanent anti-graffiti paints do not have to be reapplied later, which optimises application times and costs. </p><h2><b>How anti-graffiti paints work </b></h2><p>When applied on an object to be protected, an anti-graffiti coating creates a <b>special, highly cross-linked film</b>, which prevents the chemicals that normally make up sprays and permanent markers from penetrating the paint and thus staining the surface beneath. </p><p>Whereas in the past the cross-linking of these products made them inelastic and therefore not suitable for painting components that had to undergo post-forming, technological progress has now made anti-graffiti coatings ideal also for surfaces that need further processing, without compromising their functionality. </p><p>Moreover, anti-graffiti paints do not ensure only <b>excellent chemical resistance to commonly used solvents</b> such as xylene, acetone, turpentine, and methyl ethyl ketone, but also good<b> corrosion protection</b>. </p><p>The test method for determining whether a certain product can be actually considered a permanent anti-graffiti coating is regulated in the <b>UNI 11246:2007 standard</b>, “Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Evaluating procedure for permanent anti-graffiti products”. In particular, anti-graffiti paints must guarantee <b>at least 10 cycles of soiling and subsequent cleaning</b> without the coating and its chemical and physical properties being affected.</p><h2><b>How and on which materials to apply anti-graffiti paints</b></h2><p>Anti-graffiti paints can be used on many surfaces, including <b>metal, concrete, stone, and marble.</b> </p><p>Anti-graffiti coatings, which can be easily applied <b>with brushes or rollers or by spraying</b>, especially in industrial applications, are the ideal protective solution for any surface located in easily accessible public places and usually subject to vandalism, including for example:</p><ul><li>railway and underground stations;</li><li>public transport wagons;</li><li>street signs and furniture;</li><li>benches, recreational equipment, and other public park furniture;</li><li>shutters and fences;</li><li>monuments and building façades.</li></ul><p>To find out more on this
