Interpon™ EC Background: Graffiti Graffiti is a common phenomenon worldwide. Whether considered art or vandalism, graffiti is a source of nuisance: • Decreased customer base (visual intimidation and crime attraction); • Costly and time consuming cleaning process; • Increased maintenance cost (substrate damage).
A powerful shield of protection such as Interpon™ EC (Easy Clean/Anti-Graffiti) provides a long-term solution against not only graffiti, but also weather, corrosion and chemicals.
Interpon™ EC: Overview Interpon™ EC (previously Morton GRAFAWAY™) provides an effective weapon against graffiti attacks. The high scratch resistance and low porosity-absorption characteristics of the film provide outstanding permanent protection against defacement of public property. Graffiti created with spray paints or marking pens can be effectively removed repeatedly without sacrificing coating appearance, durability or weathering properties, using commercially available cleaning agents.

Interpon™ EC: Application Guidelines
Coatings with a higher degree of smoothness and flow such as Interpon™ EC are particularly sensitive, therefore coaters should follow guidelines for pretreatment and cleaning procedures. Dirt, oil, and chemicals in the air or on the substrate will result in imperfections when applying Interpon™ EC Powder Coatings.

Interpon™ EC: Recommendations Pretreatment process recommendations: • Use a five stage pretreatment system with separate cleaning and phosphate tanks • Remove metal defects such as burrs, weld flashes, and sharp edges • Eliminate exposure to airborne contaminants • Avoid other sources of coating contamination Storage recommendations: • Temperature: 80°F (26.8°C) or less • Shelf life at recommended temperature: 12 months Note: For more info, please refer to the guideline handout.
