Spray paints, undercoating, pens and much more can be removed much easier owing to a functional but invisible impregnation. The performance test of the new aqueous anti-graffiti impregnation on the basis of C6 fluoropolymers that was applied to the mineral scumble for concrete was one step in the re-erection project of the Masters‘ Houses in Dessau (Germany) including the associated boundary walls.
