New Resin Provides Barrier Against Vandalism & Graffiti

This new material offers architects and coatings specialists a new method for repeatedly dissolving graffiti on outdoor surfaces as it occurs, without degrading surfaces or their coatings, and without sacrificing coating durability and weathering properties.
