Anti-Graffiti Coating System Specifications

Graffiti Melt Coating is a zero VOC, non- toxic, biodegradable, low odor, paraffin- based emulsion. It can be removed from the surface with a hot water pressure washer or one of our non-toxic, biodegradable removers:

(*) This coating meets the Super Compliant VOC Paint List requirements set forth by the SCAQMD and has been field tested and approved by the City of Los Angeles.

Gold Remover cleans Graffiti Melt from porous, unpainted surfaces such as brick, concrete and masonry.

Eaze Away Remover cleans Graffiti Melt from baked and painted delicate surfaces.

Product Description:

Graffiti Melt is a ready-to-use, low odor, “sacrificial” coating used to protect exterior surfaces from graffiti, posters and atmospheric pollution. Graffiti Melt is composed of water and food grade materials, and creates a tough barrier without altering the appearance or texture of the treated surface. Once the surface is coated, graffiti can be removed with a hot water pressure washer or one of our removers and cold water. After removal, re- apply the Graffiti Melt to the affected area. Removal by any other means will void the Graffiti Melt warranty. NOTE: Some paints, inks and cleaning agents contain harsh solvents and other chemicals that can alter Graffiti Melt by affecting its performance or removing it from the surface altogether. Genesis Coatings makes no guarantees as to system compatibilities - this information must be determined by applying a test patch to the appropriate substrate.

  5. Graffiti Melt does not promote or prevent efflorescence.
  6. Rolling is not recommended on any surface due to the potential to overcoat.
  7. HVAC runoff can sometimes adhere to the coating to cause streaking.

Coverage and Compatibility:

The following coverage rates are approximate and should be used as an estimate only. Always conduct test applications on actual surfaces to accurately determine coverage rates and compatibility with existing coatings. Porosity, texture, method of application, and climate conditions can affect coverage rates:
