In this article a comparative study of the behaviour of
different commercial anti-graffiti on natural stone and
brick is presented. 8 different European substrates were
selected and 4 commercial anti-graffiti of different
chemical nature were applied on these substrates. The
variations of their hydric properties and aspect (colour
and gloss) with regard to the untreated substrates were
later studied in the laboratory.
The results obtained permitted to assess the suitability of
4 of the main types of chemical formulations employed
to be used as anti-graffiti. This study concludes that the
sacrificial anti-graffiti with polymeric paraffins in its
composition presents the lowest reductions of the hydric
properties of the studied substrates, being also the
variations in colour the least perceptible.
To examine the action of acid atmospheric precipitation on the light stabilisers in automotive coatings two common clearcoat types (TSA and 2K-PU) blended with commercially available HALS and UVA were subjected to artificial weathering (Acid Dew and Fog test and Acid-free weathering test) and natural weathering outdoors in Jacksonville, FL. Tracing gloss and haze during weathering the test results showed that the influence of acid stress on the long-term performance of the clearcoats depended on the kind of the stabilisation system.
