Product Name: NO MORE GRAFFITI
Description:
No More Graffiti is a water-based, sacrificial anti-graffiti coating formulated with aqueous wax and polymer emulsions. Once applied, it forms a clear protective film that prevents graffiti paint and other staining materials from bonding to the surface. When graffiti occurs, it can be easily removed using hot, high-pressure water—stripping away both the coating and the graffiti to reveal a clean, undamaged finish. The non-stick, water-repellent properties of No More Graffiti also help deter glue-on posters and other surface contaminants, making it ideal for public spaces, heritage buildings, and high-traffic areas.
Recommended Uses:
Tech-Dry’s No More Graffiti is a water-based sacrificial coating designed to protect a wide range of surfaces from graffiti and staining. Ideal for masonry substrates, including brick, concrete, natural stone, and blockwork—it also performs well on non-masonry surfaces such as timber, metal, painted finishes, textured coatings, and polymer renders. For optimal results, a small patch test is strongly recommended to confirm compatibility with the specific substrate.
Key features:
- Effective graffiti resistance: Prevents paint and staining compounds from bonding to the surface
- UV-stable formulation: Resists yellowing and peeling
- Eco-friendly removal: No need for harsh solvents such as paint strippers—graffiti washes off with hot water .
- Simple application: Apply easily with brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer.
- Safe handling: Non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-flammable; cleans up with water
Due to the variability of building materials, No More Graffiti may not suit all surfaces. Always conduct a small-scale test before full application to ensure suitability and performance.
Use Instructions:
Application
- To ensure optimal performance, prepare the surface by making sure it is dry, firm, and free from dirt, oil, and stains. If contamination is present, wash thoroughly and allow the surface to dry completely before applying the product.
- For highly porous substrates, pre-sealing with a compatible masonry sealer is strongly recommended.
- Avoid application during damp conditions, when rain is expected, or when temperatures fall below 10°C. Similarly, do not apply under excessively hot or windy conditions, as this may affect film formation and adhesion.
- No More Graffiti can be applied using a brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer. Drying times vary with climate: expect approximately 2 hours for touch-dry and up to 24 hours for full effectiveness.
- Coverage depends on substrate porosity. Two coats is recommended, with an estimated consumption rate of 10m²/litre per coat. Rough or highly absorbent surfaces may require additional coats to achieve full protection.
- As a water-based formulation, all tools and equipment can be cleaned easily with water.
Removal instructions:
To remove graffiti from surfaces treated with No More Graffiti, use a hot, high-pressure water jet. The heat softens the sacrificial coating, allowing both the graffiti and the protective film to be washed away. For best results, use a fan-shaped nozzle delivering water at 500–1000 psi, with a temperature above 90°C—adjusting pressure based on surface condition and sensitivity.
For small or delicate areas, pour boiling water directly onto the graffiti and gently scrub with a nylon brush until the coating and graffiti are removed. As an alternative, Tech-Dry’s Biodegradable Graffiti Remover can be used for targeted removal—please contact Tech-Dry for product details and usage guidance.
Once the surface is clean and fully dry, reapply No More Graffiti to restore protection. Note: When applied over painted surfaces, use caution during removal, as high-pressure water may lift or damage the underlying paint layer.

Important Note:
Surface types and site conditions can vary significantly. To ensure compatibility and optimal performance, Tech-Dry recommends conducting a small-scale trial before full application. This helps confirm the product’s suitability for the specific substrate and intended use.
Handling & Storage:
No More Graffiti is a non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-flammable water-based formulation. While safe to use, standard industrial hygiene practices should always be followed. Avoid skin and eye contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves and safety goggles. In case of spills, rinse thoroughly with water. If ingested or splashed into eyes, refer immediately to the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for appropriate first aid measures.
Keep out of reach of children.
Store in sealed plastic containers for up to 12 months, away from freezing conditions and prolonged exposure to temperatures above 35°C. Always check the use-by date printed on the label before application. If the product has passed its expiry date, it may still be usable, however, a quality control test should be conducted to verify performance, or contact Tech-Dry for further guidance.
Packaging:
No More Graffiti is available in 5, 20 & 200 litre plastic drums, and 1000 litre IBC. Custom container sizes can be arranged upon request to suit specific project needs.
