Environex Graffiti Clean 400 One Step Graffiti Removal

20 Litres

Material and Function

Environex Graffiti Clean 400 is a user-friendly organic solvent solution designed to remove certain types of graffiti from all types of building surfaces. Environex Graffiti Clean 400 has been specially blended using a wide range of solvents, to produce a product capable of removing graffiti caused by all types of paint, leather dyes and texta pens. This product is very effective at paint removal where graffiti is on a pre-painted surface; some of this paint coating will be removed, along with the graffiti. Environex Graffiti Clean 400 acts very quickly and has a fast evaporation rate which is of value in enclosed spaces or occupied areas in buildings where customers are present.

Application

The method of application depends on the type of surface, size and nature of the graffiti and how long the graffiti has been in situ, eg. graffiti which has been on the surface for some time will be harder to remove than graffiti that has not cured or has not been baked by the sun. Ideally removal should occur within 24 hours.

For areas under 10 square metres – apply Environex Graffiti Clean 400 by stiff bristle brush or spray container and leave GRAFFITI CLEAN 400 in contact for 15 seconds. Apply more GRAFFITI CLEAN 400 in the same manner, repeating the process if necessary. As the graffiti breaks down it is essential that copious quantities of water containing household detergent at a rate of 10 : 1 are used to wash off the residue immediately. For heavily coated areas or areas that have been subjected to baking by the sun, the process may need to be repeated. GRAFFITI CLEAN 400 may not be totally effective on all graffiti as experimentation by the ‘community artists’ produces new ‘cocktails’ continually. In these cases it is recommended that GRAFFITI CLEAN 500 be used. Apply GRAFFITI CLEAN 500 using a paint brush, leave for 5 mZinutes and then apply a second coat in the same manner. As the graffiti breaks down use copious quantities of water containing household detergent 10:1 to wash off the residue immediately.

For areas over 10 square metres – it may be cost effective when rinsing to utilize airless spray equipment for larger areas. In these cases it is recommended that the vehicle or trailer hold a drum of water with detergent added at a rate of 10:1. Apply Environex Graffiti Clean 400 by brush as for smaller areas. With the breakdown of the graffiti, hose off using spray nozzle on low pressure and a stiff bristle brush to assist in removal. If residual is left repeat process. If using Environex Graffiti Clean 500 the application process is the same, only contact time should be extended to 5 minutes before removal.

Remember an application of Environex Graffiti Clean 400 by brush may assist theEnvironex Graffiti Clean 500 removal process at this stage.

Note:
We recommend regular removal processes are undertaken rather than allowing the graffiti to build up as the removal process will then be harder and more costly in labour and materials. GRAFFITI CLEAN representatives are available to provide technical assistance during removal processes.
