Protectosil ANTIGRAFFITI^® keeps the art on the inside

In 1997 the Fundación La Caixa, a cultural foundation in Barcelona, Spain, decided to create a cultural center in a historically-signifcant early 20th century former textile factory.

During the extensive renovations the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki designed a new main entrance and public reception area of light-colored limestone.This extensive area of white stone would undoubtedly attract the graffiti „artists“ that plague Barcelona, so a graffiti-control system was necessary. But it was particularly important to not to alter the original appearance of the stone.

That’s why Protectosil ANTIGRAFFITI^® was the right choice. In contrast to other permanent graffiti-control systems which can leave the treated surface looking shiny and „coated“, Protectosil ANTIGRAFFITI^® is practically invisible, but with outstanding performance. Graffiti can be removed again and again, without reapplication. And because Protectosil ANTIGRAFFITI^® is not a coating but a penetrating treatment, water vapor can diffuse and the stone remains breathable.

With Protectosil ANTIGRAFFITI^® the CaixaForum will show artwork only on the inside.
