ProTrade Warehouse supplies a range of anti-graffiti coatings designed to help protect suitable surfaces from graffiti and make subsequent cleaning and maintenance easier. Our range includes systems from Dulux, Crommelin and NuTech for a variety of commercial, industrial, public and architectural applications.

Depending on the product, anti-graffiti coatings can be used on surfaces including concrete, masonry, brick, natural stone, painted surfaces and other suitable substrates. Always check the manufacturer's technical data sheet to confirm substrate compatibility and preparation requirements.

Sacrificial & Non-Sacrificial Anti-Graffiti Coatings

Anti-graffiti systems generally fall into two main categories, and choosing between them depends on the surface, expected graffiti exposure and maintenance requirements.

• Sacrificial anti-graffiti coatings: These coatings are designed to be removed or renewed as part of the graffiti removal process. Crommelin Barricade RGB is a water-based sacrificial system designed for suitable porous substrates.
• Non-sacrificial anti-graffiti coatings: These systems are designed to remain on the surface while graffiti is removed using appropriate cleaning products and methods. Options include Dulux Surfaceshield FP and Crommelin Barricade PU-NS.

Dulux Surfaceshield products provide anti-graffiti treatment options for suitable construction, infrastructure, retail and public surfaces. Surfaceshield FP is a two-component, waterborne non-sacrificial coating designed to allow graffiti to be removed repeatedly once the coating has fully cured.

For demanding applications, Dulux Surfaceshield HD provides another option for suitable surfaces where a heavy-duty anti-graffiti treatment is required.

The Crommelin Barricade range also includes different systems for different substrates and maintenance requirements. Options include sacrificial, semi-sacrificial and non-sacrificial coatings, as well as specialised treatments for suitable natural stone surfaces.

Barricade PU-NS is a two-part polyurethane non-sacrificial system available in clear finishes and suitable for applications including concrete, brick, masonry, murals and painted surfaces. Barricade NS is a water-based system designed for suitable dense substrates.

For soft or friable limestone and sandstone, Crommelin Barricade 3S is available as a clear water-based treatment and can be used as a pre-treatment where specified by the manufacturer.

Anti-Graffiti Coating Applications

Anti-graffiti coatings can be used across a range of environments where surfaces are exposed to vandalism, graffiti or other pollutants, including:

• Public buildings and facilities
• Transport infrastructure and bus stations
• Car parks and retaining walls
• Schools and sporting complexes
• Shopping centres and commercial buildings
• Building facades and exterior walls
• Concrete, masonry and natural stone surfaces
• Murals and other suitable painted surfaces

Choosing the Right Anti-Graffiti Coating

The best coating depends on the substrate, location, existing surface finish and expected maintenance requirements. Before selecting a product, consider whether the surface is porous or dense, whether it has previously been painted or coated, and whether a sacrificial or non-sacrificial system is more appropriate.

It is also important to consider the manufacturer's recommended graffiti removal method. Different coatings are designed to work with specific cleaning products and techniques.

Surface Preparation & Application

Correct preparation is essential for adhesion and overall coating performance. The surface should be suitably clean, dry, sound and free from contaminants or loose material before application.

Existing coatings should be assessed for compatibility before applying an anti-graffiti system. Follow the relevant manufacturer's technical data sheet for preparation, mixing, application, coverage, drying and curing requirements.
