Graffiti is connected with city culture and it is focused on grey concrete walls, subway, trains etc. We can  find it on common houses and buildings as well and of course sometimes historical buildings and listed buildings are attacked too.

Proved and effective form of battle against graffiti is prompt and persistently removing. It is suitable to apply anti-graffiti impregnation.

Graffiti removing that is technically very difficult. Way of applying and used paint has big impact on removing as well as material that was paint applied on. Total removing of graffiti depends on possibility of removing painting  component used cleaning agent. Material of cleaning surface influences durability of sign very much. The rougher, softer and more porous surface, the worse removing.

Ways of paints and graffiti removing :

Chemical and physical removing i.e. breaking of vehicle paint, in this method broken paint is removed easily with stippling or power water. The secret of success is choice of suitable agent for breaking paint as well as way of application and gentleness of cleaning process.

Water jetting (abrasive cleaning) stricken areas with ecologically unexceptionable cleaning agents - sand, crushed lime, dry ice, technical soda etc.

Impregnation :

Graffiti removing from surfaces without impregnation is usually at average seven times more expensive. Temporary protective painting are made at wax base, silicon, silicates, acrylate... Those layers are not only protecting material against graffiti but they hydrofobize the surface - protect against water. Graffiti removing from those surfaces is easier, cheaper and without trace.
