Sika Introduces Sikagard-850 Ag

Sika’s new permanent anti-graffiti and anti-fly poster coating

Surfaces treated with SikaGard-850 AG can be cleaned simply with cold high-pressure water (80 to 100 bars) or even a standard hose and a suitable cloth or stiff brush.

Sika is renowned for keeping up with technologies and innovative products and the introduction of SikaGard-850 AG (Anti-Graffiti) is no different. This product is a permanent anti-graffiti and anti-fly poster coating for the protection of concrete, wood, masonry and metal substrates. Providing a clear wet-look surface, the product also brightens and enhances the colour of the substrate.

SikaGard-850 AG provides excellent performance against exterior elements such as rain, sun and temperature extremes.

AREAS OF APPLICATION

SikaGard-850 AG can be used for treating new and refurbished buildings, bridges and other structures to protect them from vandalism and unauthorised artwork for a permanent solution. There is no need for product maintenance and refresher coats after cleaning, providing a full-proof product application.

Typical substrates:

  • Fair faced concrete, masonry
  • Mineral substrate previously treated with hydrophobic impregnation
  • Metallic surfaces
  • Wooden surface

The unique characteristics of the SikaGard-850 AG give a lasting solution for removing graffiti numerous times without damaging the protection layer on the surface of the substrate. The surface, once treated, offers 100% prevention of any posters being stuck on treated surface. No chemical agent is required for the cleaning of graffiti, simply use cold high-pressure water (80 to 100 bars) or even a standard hose coupled by rubbing down the surface with a suitable cloth or stiff brush.

SikaGard-850 AG is water permeable with low water absorption. Adapted to outdoor use, this product has very good weather and ageing resistance as well as protected against UV with a high gloss retention allowing for low dirt pick-up.
