Objective
  • Development of a low surface free energy coating with good adhesion demand

Properties

  • Surface free energy comparable to fluorine polymers (18 - 20 mN/m2)
  • Reduced adhesion of water and solvent based paints / lacquers
  • Transparent
  • High scratch and abrasion resistance
  • Function stays in good condition during several graffiti attacks
    (8 cleaning cycles were tested)

Applications
  • Easy-to-clen application and anti-graffiti protection in public areas (housewalls, walls of public buildings, monuments, railway, subway, traffic signs...)
  • Anti billposting

Advantages

  • Graffitis can easily be removed; reduced cleaning efforts
  • Graffitits can be even removed from porous materials
  • no offering coating
    Þ long service life
