How does it work?
The paint remains perpetually slippery, making it difficult for anyone to get a firm grip on the surface. It also transfers to clothing and skin, marking intruders and making it easier to identify them.
Where can it be applied?
It is typically used on fences, walls, drainpipes, window ledges, and other surfaces that might be climbed. It is often applied to the upper parts of these structures, out of reach of casual contact.
What surfaces can it be applied to?
Non-drying anti-climb paint can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, masonry, and concrete. However, it's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility.
Does it have any environmental impacts?
While it is designed to be long-lasting and resistant to weather, users should check for any environmental impact it could have such as contamination via wildlife if walked over and transferred to other areas wildlife move to.
How long does it last?
Non-drying anti-climb paint is designed to remain effective for several years, even in harsh weather conditions. However, its longevity can vary based on the environment and the specific product used.
Is it easy to clean off?
It is designed to be difficult to remove, which is part of its deterrent effect. Cleaning it off surfaces or skin can be challenging and may require the cleaning solvents.
What precautions should be taken when applying it?
Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles to prevent contact with the skin and eyes.
Can it damage property?
While it is effective in preventing climbing, there can be potential issues with staining and long-term residue. It's crucial to apply it only to appropriate surfaces and follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid damage.
