Although we consider it to be a typical metropolitan phenomenon, there is almost no municipality without one or two sprayed messages, doodle, or, in a better case, a truly artistic mural. Graffities are subject to controversial perception and they certainly leave no one indifferent. Some are shaken by their existence, while others by their removal. But if they need to disappear, it does matter what mark they leave.
Polluting graffiti?
The first graffities appeared in the 1970s. With a varying intensity, it continuously walks its way on subway trains, railway vehicles, escalators, on the walls of towers and buildings or on outdoor sculptures – provoking strong (either positive or negative) feelings almost from every passerby. Suffice it to mention Banksy, the British graffiti artist who has become notorious for their absolutely creative and witty artistic works and concerning whose identity no further details have surfaced during their “work” of 30 years. To this day, a particular myth surrounds the identity and activity of the artist and political activist. Anyway, their works speak for themselves, and due to their unusual and thought-provoking artistic works, they have become a prominent figure of global street art.
We could have a long discussion on whether graffiti, as a genre, has a destructive or value-creating effect, and whether – regardless of all this – it is worth removing graffities that are constantly created. But, since a portion of these artistic works contains obscene observations or statements that are offensive to certain social groups, it is beyond debate that there are cases when you have to simply remove them.
Environmental-friendly graffiti removal!
And if you need to do something, it does matter how you do it. Although sanding technology is eco-friendly, it is not gentle to the treated surface of wall. During chemical removal, mostly mixtures containing NEP (N-ethyl-pyrrolidone) or NMP (N-methyl-pyrrolidone) are used that are expressly harmful to health.
On the contrary, the special, gel-form 3M ™ 1500 Graffiti remover will not go easy on graffities, but it is absolutely gentle and careful to the environment and to those conducting the cleaning process. Due to its liquid state, it enters the paint more quickly, but it evaporates slower than usual into the air. This increases the product’s efficiency and also reduces total costs. Another advantage is that it is almost odorless, and no harmful fumes are generated during use. The 3M ™ 1500 Graffiti remover distributed by our company is especially environmental-friendly because it does not contain aromatic, aliphatic, or chlorinated solvents.
Due to the practical dispenser design, it can be quickly and easily applied onto any surfaces. By cleaning the surfacewith a high-pressure cleaner after a short time to take effect, basically any type of paint can be completely removed.
