Sacrificial Surface Coatings
Designed to provide temporary protection, these coatings are removed along with the graffiti and then reapplied.

Graffiti Protection FAQ
What’s the difference between the coating types?
Non-Sacrificial Coating: Long-lasting, handles multiple cleanings, ideal for councils and public infrastructure
Sacrificial Coating: Single-use protection removed with graffiti and reapplied after
Invisible Penetrating Coating: Discreet protection for porous/natural materials like sandstone or timber
Will coatings change how the surface looks?
No. All coatings are either clear gloss, matte, or completely invisible depending on the type. Penetrating coatings leave no visible film.
How often do I need to reapply them?
Non-Sacrificial: Rarely, lasts many years
Sacrificial: After each removal
Penetrating: Every few years, depending on surface exposure and vandalism frequency
Can I clean graffiti myself once a coating is applied?
Yes! Each system is designed for simplified graffiti removal without specialist equipment.
