Graffiti-Resistant Coating System

PROTECT YOUR CLIENT’S INVESTMENT

Graffiti costs U.S. building owners  an estimated  $25 billion per year. In addition to offering distinct architectural design solutions, AEP Span offers an affordable solution to maintaining and preserving a long-lasting building.

AEP Span's factory applied Graffiti-Resistant Coating System works as a barrier of protection over the color coat layer and prevents most graffiti material from gripping or shadowing the surface. This innovative coating system includes a primer, a color coat, and a graffiti-resistant clear coat and is formulated to work with PPG Industries’ Duraprep® Prep 400 graffiti remover.
When the pre-treated substrate is spray-painted or otherwise marred, DuraPrep Prep 400 is applied directly on the substrate and easily wipes off.
The graffiti removal system offers building owners an easy and fully tested maintenance method to safely remove graffiti, keeping buildings looking their best.

Easily removes fresh aerosol paint, overspray, tar, crayon, printing ink, grease, pen marks, scuff marks, bugs and more ...
