Nanoman
Anti-graffiti protection
A clear coating that protects walls, fences and metal against graffiti. Graffiti can be removed again and again without re-applying the coating.
Total graffiti protection
Nanoman anti-graffiti coatings are long-lasting, non-sacrificial one-coat solutions. They protect surfaces from the permanent defacing of graffiti and make removal quick and easy without damaging the surface, painted or otherwise.
Nanoman has anti-graffiti coatings for both porous and non-porous surfaces. They are not used up by cleaning and protect assets against graffiti for years, which avoids the cost of repainting and the unsightly patches left where graffiti has been painted over.
Anti-graffiti coating for porous surfaces
Anti-Graffiti Coating for Porous Surfaces is a clear, long-lasting, non-sacrificial coating applied in one coat. It is sprayed, brushed or rolled directly onto bare brick, concrete, timber or painted surfaces. It applies and dries quickly and adheres well.
It lasts up to 10 years on vertical surfaces, depending on the material, use and how the surface is maintained.
About 80 to 100 ml per square metre by spray.
How to use the products
- Mask the surrounding areas with tape. The surface must be clean, completely dry and sound. Concrete and mortar must be fully cured. Dry-brush or pressure wash and leave to dry.
- Stir slowly and thoroughly and stir again every 15 to 20 minutes. If the temperature is below 20 °C, store the product indoors the day before. You can thin it by up to 30% with white spirit.
- Apply one coat by HVLP or airless sprayer, which works best on rough surfaces, or by roller or brush. Work in a cross pattern and do not overwork the surface.
- Correct mistakes within about 10 minutes. Touch dry after 1 hour and fully cured after 7 days. Clean tools with white spirit, never with water.

Anti-graffiti coating for non-porous surfaces
Anti-Graffiti Coating for Non-Porous Surfaces is made for smooth, non-absorbent metal such as galvanised steel, aluminium, stainless steel and corten steel, and for powder-coated surfaces like roller doors, outdoor cabinets and fences. It also suits plastics, PU, epoxy and polyester paints, and fibreglass.
It forms a clear, invisible film. Paint and markers adhere poorly to it, so graffiti comes off quickly and easily. It lasts up to 7 years, depending on the material, use and how the surface is maintained.
About 10 to 12 ml per square metre by HVLP spray.
How to use the products
- The surface must be clean, grease-free and completely dry, at 5 to 30 °C and 30 to 80% relative humidity. Remove rust and flaking paint and degrease new metal.
- Apply one light film by HVLP sprayer, which works best, with a small roller, or with a brush on irregular shapes. Re-roll after about 30 seconds without adding more product.
- Do not spray back and forth. Correct mistakes within about 10 minutes. Apply only one coat.
- Touch dry after 1 hour and fully cured after 5 to 7 days. Clean equipment with acetone or n-butyl acetate, never with water.

Graffiti Remover
Graffiti Remover is the cleaner used with the anti-graffiti coatings. It removes spray paint, markers, enamel and acrylic paint from protected surfaces in 2 to 3 minutes and does not damage the coating when used as directed. The graffiti is then rinsed off with a garden hose or a pressure washer at low pressure.
About 60 to 80 ml per square metre per removal.
How to use the products
- Test first on an inconspicuous spot. Work one area at a time, about 30 cm across. On vertical surfaces, place a cloth under the area.
- Spray or brush on liberally, let it work for 1 to 2 minutes, re-wet and wipe gently from the outside in.
- Repeat if the graffiti is stubborn. Use only a soft brush. Rinse with water at low to medium pressure, with a garden hose or a pressure washer set to no more than 800 psi (about 55 bar) with a fan nozzle.
- Rinse residue from the wall and the ground and dispose of used rags responsibly.
- On plastic and vinyl the product may need diluting. Always test first.
