EEN Offer - Anti-Graffiti Material

A UK SME has created an anti-graffiti material that is suitable for application onto brickwork or painted steel. Once applied to a surface, graffiti will not bond to the coating, and any graffiti that has been sprayed on the treated surface will easily wash off. The coating can be applied by brush or roller, which does not require special training. This company is looking for a distributor to bring this product to various different markets.

This UK company was founded in 2012 as a specialist coatings consultancy primarily to the roofing industry. The companies support has now been broadened across the automotive, rail, construction, civil engineering, energy, marine and aerospace sectors.

The company is independent and privately owned. It is also a confidential company; thus, the company will keep its support out of sight when this is requested by a client. The company primarily operates in the UK market; however, they are in the process of developing their network worldwide.

The company has a number of anti-graffiti coatings in their range that are currently available. The choice of coating depends on the objectives of the client, the site location and budget. The anti-graffiti coatings can be applied to a wide range of substrates including concrete, stone, steel, Copper, painted surfaces, Formica, and some plastics.

The coating currently offered by the company is based on an advanced silicone resin and is available as a clear coating or in any particular colour (though this is subject to minimum quantities).

The coating can be applied to many civil engineering projects, from subways through buildings to bridges. The coating will bond to brick, stone and painted steel, and is a robust coating that can be cleaned using solely water.

The company has been successfully using the anti-graffiti material in the UK for a number of years and now wishes to export it. The company is looking to bring this product to new markets through a distributor agreement. The company is looking to expand through a distributors agreement as the product can be sold on in the same state that it is supplied to the distributor. Whilst, it also reduces the need for the company to physically expand into new territories.

The coating can be applied with minimal training over a cleaned and dry surface. It's key features and benefits are:

• A one pack non-sacrificial coating

• Clear or coloured

• Easy to apply

• Good coverage rates

• Cured within one day

• Low volatile organic compound

• Wide application temperature range

• Easy to clean off graffiti

• Fly posters will not stick

Type and Role of Partner Sought:

The potential partner for this company would be a coatings distributor to the civil engineering industry, railways or government.

They may perhaps be a larger scale applicator of coatings to the civil engineering industry, railways or government. Additionally, the coatings would ideally need to be specified for particular projects or building infrastructure.
