Graffiti a problem? Just wash it!

It has been described as art by some people, but to others it’s an ugly and depressing aspect of modern life. What is it? Graffiti, of course. Look around your city today and you can see graffiti on buildings , walls, doors and even on buses or trains that have stayed in one place for too long. But where modern techology creates a problem, it also finds a solution. Last week, Weekend West was shown around the factory of a small but highly innovative and successful company, Hubdean.

Hubdean’s achievement is a series of special paints which are graffiti-resistant. How do they work? It couldn’t be simpler. Take any graffiti-covered surface. First, a treatment called Agproclear is applied. Thus, using a very hot pressure jet, this treatment is removed and the graffiti disappears at the same time. Now you have a clean wall. But before this clean wall can be painted on by vandals, a new product, Agproshield, is applied. Firstly, spray paint won’t stick to the surface very well, and secondly, the whole surface can be cleaned very easily, just using water. Once the surface is painted, no specialist equipment is needed to keep the area clean and graffiti-free.

Not surprisingly, Hubdean’s products are used by both local councils and private campanies all over the UK, and now orders are being received from around the world. This presents the company with a problem, however . Can they increase production to satisfy the extra demand? Options include building a second factory, dedicated to the most popular products, or licensing a major international company to manufacture their products. The future is looking good for Hubdean!
