Anti Graffiti
Graffiti off in minutes, without repainting.
Every repaint leaves a patch that does not match, and the next tag is only days away. Nanoman Anti Graffiti is a clear, non-sacrificial coating: paint and marker cannot grip it, so tags lift off again and again without re-coating.

The cost of graffiti
Cities spend millions repainting the same walls, every year.
Most graffiti budgets buy paint and labour that will be tagged again within weeks. Coating the surface once and wiping tags off is a revolutionary shift: the recurring repaint bill turns into a one-off cost plus a few minutes of cleaning.

Why repainting loses
Painting over a tag costs you every time. Wiping it off costs almost nothing.
Repainting means booking a crew, waiting days and living with colour patches. Fast removal is also the best deterrent: vandals move on when their work disappears quickly.

Application
Clean it, one coat, let it cure.
- 1CleanRemove dirt, loose material and any existing graffiti. Degrease smooth surfaces.
- 2DryThe surface must be fully dry before coating.
- 3CoatOne coat by brush, roller or spray. Even out runs and streaks within 10 minutes.
- 4CurePorous: rain-safe after 5 hours, full cure in 7 days. Smooth: water-resistant after 8–12 hours, full cure in 5–7 days.
Murals and public art: the clear finish protects the artwork underneath, so unwanted tags can be removed without touching the mural. Test on a small area first.
Porous or smooth: which do I need?
Use the porous coating on brick, concrete, render, natural stone and painted masonry. Use the smooth-surface coating on metal, glass, powder coat, signage, plastics and painted metal. Mixed sites often need both.
How is graffiti removed?
With Nanoman Graffiti Remover and a cloth or pressure washer. The coating stays in place, so the same surface can be cleaned again and again without re-coating, and without ghosting.
Will it change the look of the wall?
No. It is a clear finish that will not yellow, peel or flake, and coated surfaces also stay cleaner because everyday dirt washes off with the rain.
How long does it last?
Up to 10 years on porous surfaces and up to 7 years on smooth surfaces, depending on exposure. The porous coating is tested to the APAS 1441 anti-graffiti standard; ask us for the test report.
How much can a city or asset owner save?
It depends on how often a surface is tagged and what each repaint costs. Because the coating is applied once and every later tag is wiped off instead of painted over, the savings grow with every attack. Use the savings calculator on this page with your own figures, or send us your numbers for a costed proposal.
Can it be applied over murals?
Yes. It protects the artwork underneath so unwanted additions can be removed without damaging the mural. Always test a small area first.
