Nevada DOT Approves Anti-Graffiti Coatings

A line of anti-graffiti coatings from Seicoat Corporation (www.seicoat.com) has recently been approved and added to the Qualified Products List by the State of Nevada Department of Transportation. The products are GPA-200 Graffiti Proofer® Anti-Stick and GPA-300 Graffiti Proofer® Non-Stick anti-graffiti coatings. State officials discovered that the Seicoat anti-graffiti products were single component coatings that offered easy graffiti removal, longevity (up to ten years), and significant cost savings.

The durable GPA-200 coating causes most paints to simply run off the film. The GPA-300 product allows anyone to remove graffiti with a dry cloth or water rinse without the use of any cleaning chemicals. These are the only anti-graffiti coatings approved by the Nevada DOT that are single component.

The Graffiti Proofer coatings are sold by or can be applied by registered affiliate entities or certified applicators authorized by the company’s franchising program. Seicoat offers anti-graffiti, anti-mold, anti-slip, de-icing, and ice preventive services and restorative coating products and services. Recent growth of the company and its products have been spurred by Seicoat’s offer to remove any and all graffiti, free of charge, for up to three years, if Seicoat is contracted to apply its Graffiti Proofer coatings to the substrates chosen

The Graffiti Proofer coatings are clear, UV stable, chemical and abrasion resistant, and provide true non-stick surfaces that resist paint, permanent markers, stickers, and adhesives. The products incorporate a unique nanotechnological constituent that both penetrates the surface and builds a durable non-stick and chemically resistant film. Further, the products are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, non-reactive, and VOC, AQMD, and CARB compliant.
