Anti-graffiti coatings are defined as surface treatments that prevent markings from sticking to a surface or which significantly facilitate the cleaning of the surface. An anti-graffiti coating can be of type sacrificial, which means that the coating is removed during the cleaning and must be reapplied. Permanent anti-graffiti coatings are supposed to withstand several colouring/cleaning cycles.
