Types of anti-graffiting coatings Sacrificial Coatings: Hard polymer based Soft, sacrificial acrylic topcoat Wax based either alone or combined with siloxane Permanent Coatings: Aliphatic polyurethane over primer (typically required chemical cleaner) Modified siloxane (required also chemical cleaner) November 11, 2018 Sikagard-850 AG
Types of anti-graffiting coatings Sacrificial / semi sacrificial Coatings: Hard polymer: Sikagard AG (Canada) Soft, sacrificial acrylic topcoat Wax based: Mapei WallGard Graffiti Barrier, Sikagard-781 S (Poland), Sikagard-777 (Sweden) Permanent Coatings: Aliphatic polyurethane over primer (typically required chemical cleaner) (e.g. SikaCor EG-5 although not marketed as such was used successfully in some countries) Modified siloxane (required also chemical cleaner) (Evonik Antigraffiti ) November 11, 2018 Sikagard-850 AG
New Sikagard-850 AG Clear, one-component, moisture-cured, silicone elastomer anti-graffiti coating that can be applied by brush, roller and professional spray equipment to exterior concrete, masonry and metal surfaces. A permanent coating that does not need to be recoated after graffiti removal like alternative sacrificial systems. No chemical cleaning required No hot water Only brush and water or cold low water pressure (80 bars) Added values: Prevent poster to bond November 11, 2018 Sikagard-850 AG
Field of application Civil Engineering Structures Highways authorities (bridges, sound barrier, rest areas) Schools and Universities Port authorities Transit authorities – subway, bus and train depots Transportation – railcars Parking decks Urban commercial properties Immediate release for Professional – Professional packing Repacking in small volume (e.g. 5 l pail) currently under investigation November 11, 2018 Sikagard-850 AG
Performance Parameters Solids: 90% by weight VOC: < 140 g/L Gloss: ~ 60% @ 60° Dry to touch: < 2 hrs. Tack Free: < 4 hrs. Anti-graffiti properties: 24 hrs Can be recoated with itself (e.g. after mechanical damage of the coating) Cold water removal of graffiti @ 80 to 100 bars (1,200 psi) Can also be removed using water hose and stiff brush (but risk of damaging the protective coating) November 11, 2018 Sikagard-850 AG
Physical properties of the cured coating High UV Resistance Excellent Gloss Retention Low VOC formulation Water vapor breathable Heat Resistance Enduring Release Properties Elastomeric Properties Hydrophobicity Can be tinted with pigment compatible with solvent based coating Vapor breathable (Sd H2O = 0.37 m for 400g/m2) November 11, 2018 Sikagard-850 AG
