Graffi-Protect is a renewable anti-graffiti based on waxes and kerosene waxes to protect painted facades. It prevents graffiti, graffiti and dirt from adhering to the base. With hot pressurized water, the protection and the graffiti that has been applied on top of it are removed and must be reapplied.
DESCRIPTION: Graffi-Protect is a renewable, colourless surface protector. Solvent free, satin finish and formulated on the basis of wax and paraffin micro-emulsions, it protects the painted finishes and synthetic mortars used on façades from graffiti. Graffi-Protect forms a fine, breathable protective film that prevents the surface adherence of paints, graffiti or dirt and grime, while ensuring a notable improvement in water-repellent capacity. Paint and graffiti can subsequently be eliminated using pressurised hot water (+80ºC), further accelerated with the use of façade cleaners such as FK-111 or anti-graffiti cleaners such as macs Liquid or Cocopaste. This process eliminates both the protective film and the graffiti and consequently, after cleaning the protector will have to be applied once more.
MAIN USE: Graffi-Protect is particularly recommended for application on façades on which synthetic rendering or paints have been used, as well as mineral bases (as an alternative to macs Fluorosil Classic) to avoid paint and graffiti adhering to the existing base. Treatment of the surface is possible at temperatures ranging from 5° to 25°C. Surfaces must be protected from rain for at least 5 hours following treatment.
HOW TO APPLY: Carefully protect all surfaces that are not to be treated from splashing. Graffi-Protect is ready for use, although it can be diluted up to 10% by adding water. Before opening the container shake thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous liquid. Application by means of an airless spray gun or a short-pile roller (gloss paint roller), criss-crossing the surface, or using a brush, immediately distributing the product with a roller to avoid runs. Must always be applied working from the bottom up to avoid the material running and leaving marks. The first coat must be applied abundantly, although without letting the product run. The second coat must be applied while the first is still slightly wet. These two coats are applied relatively quickly, one after the other, working wet on wet. The time between coats will be determined by the absorption capacity of the surface and its temperature and, as a result, may vary greatly: between 10 minutes and 1 to 2 hours. In case of doubts please consult our technical assessment service. For more information consult the specifications sheet and/or application guidelines, along with the safety sheet. FK-111 mixed with water, at a ratio of 1:10 is recommended for cleaning the utensils employed, subsequently rinsing them with clean water.
AVERAGE YIELD: Graffi-Protect provides an average yield of between 6 and 10 m²/l, with approximate consumption of between 75 ml/m² - 150 ml/m², depending on the absorption of the base. In the case of absorbent bases it may be greater.
