AGS® - For removing graffiti from unprotected surfaces
This group includes liquid and gel products for removing graffiti from unprotected smooth, porous and absorptive, to be used both outside and inside.
Besides products designed for removal of paintings from specific surfaces there are also products designed for removing specific types of paint used for graffiti.
Some products have more active properties, and are to be used on materials resistant to chemicals such as concrete, granite, etc. Other products are designed for use on sensitive historic surfaces or very delicate plastics, such as plexi, polycarbonate, without causing their 'burning - tarnishing'.

All liquid wastes produced in the process of graffiti removal (sometimes there are thousand of liters),
they do not require utilization process and can be drained directly to sewage system are undergo rapid biodegradation.
This is confirmed by OECD 302B method tests in HEDESELLSKAPET test, which is the strictest test in the field. At the
same time they are very user friendly, bringing the risk of work with chemicals to the minimum.
What does it involve and what product to use to remove graffiti from different surfaces?
The procedure of graffiti removal involves covering it with adequate product or combination of several AGS® products.

The products facilitate removal of any type of spray paint or water-resistant without damaging the treated surface.
The final effect of the operation is conditioned by durability of surface with graffiti, i.e. its resistance to
chemicals and hot water under pressure, which is necessary on porous surfaces. They help achieve excellent effects
on 'compact' materials, non-absorbing, such as all kinds of natural stones, granite, marble, sandstone (despite its
absorptiveness), clay, concrete, metal surfaces, industrially painted such as railway carriages, non-acoustic screens etc.
The situation is slightly more difficult with not resistant to washing plastering, in some cases graffiti removal
is accompanied by depolarization of façade paint.
Good quality façade paints allow for satisfactory effect. Despite definite efficiency of the group of products their particular asset are exceptional ecological properties.

Smooth surfaces are coated with dampened paper towel – cloth, atomizer (liquid products) or with a brush (gel products).
After dissolution graffiti is washed of with a cloth or paper towel, and if possible with hot water under pressure,
which facilitates cleaning.
For porous materials such as sandstone, plaster etc. we first use gel products with dissolve staining and 'connect'
them outside the surface preventing them from getting into the surface structure. They are spread with a brush.
Softened graffiti is to be washed off with hot water under pressure.
After first application of products and washing off stains there are often remains of graffiti on porous surfaces,
which are deeply set in the surface. They can be removed with a special product, half-liquid, which is to be put
on with a brush. Dissolved remains are washed off with hot water under pressure. The procedure is to be repeated
until you achieve the required effect.
Individual products are designed for removing of graffiti from various types of surfaces in accordance with the table below.
