FAQ’s-WATER REPELLENTS AND ANTI-GRAFFITI COATINGS
-
What types of anti-graffiti coatings are there?
Very generally there are two main types, sacrificial and non-sacrificial. Sacrificial, which usually does not come with a warranty, requires you to scrub the surface after graffiti with the required cleaner, and then re-coat with more sacrificial coating. Non-sacrificial often comes with a warranty. To remove graffiti, you scrub or treat the surface with the required cleaner. Consult the manufacturer recommendations for precise procedures to remove graffiti. Also, some manufacturers provide a pigmented anti-graffiti coating which can be applied to a properly prepared and primed surface in lieu of paint.
-
How much time do I need to wait for a freshly installed item to sit before installing water-repellents or anti-graffiti?
Consult the manufacturer of the coating and the said materials on recommendation, but often a month or more for bare surfaces. For clear anti-graffiti over paint, it’s often two weeks to allow fungicides and mildewcides to leech out. If that time is not allowed, the top clear coat may yellow.
-
There is efflorescence on my wall, how can I remove that prior to the clear coating?
To remove efflorescence, sandblasting may be necessary. Chemical means such as environmentally-compliant muriatic or etching acids may alleviate the efflorescence but it is often ineffective. Moisture often leeches out of masonry structures from the concrete within or from below the ground and the bottom surface of the wall even after application of water repellents and anti-graffiti coating. This can cause efflorescence even in a sealed wall. Also, horizontal surfaces may require a different water repellent to repel standing water.
