Shield 5 Sacrificial Coating
SaraWest Shield 5 Sacrificial Coating creates a protective layer between the surface and future graffiti. When graffiti is removed, the coating layer is removed with it and can be reapplied. It is made for cities, schools, public buildings, stone, concrete, brick, and other high risk areas.

Make graffiti removal a hot-water wash, not a capital project.
Graffiti isn’t a one-time problem. It’s a weekly drain on crews, budgets, and surfaces. Uncoated masonry soaks in dye and shadows, forcing harsh solvents, high pressures, and costly call-backs. Operators walk a tight line: clean fast without etching brick, spalling concrete, or creating ghosting that invites more tags. Public-facing assets - schools, transit, bridges, civic buildings - need a repeatable process that won’t chew up labor or the substrate.
Shield 5 Sacrificial Coating creates a clear, breathable barrier on porous stone, concrete, and brick. Tags sit on the coating, not the substrate, so removal is a controlled step: hot-water pressure wash at 180–200°F and the coating releases with the paint. Reapply and move on. The water-based system lays down in two quick coats, dries fast, and preserves the natural look of masonry without trapping moisture. No aggressive solvents, no guessing. Just predictable release and recoat.
Built and batch-controlled in our 30,000 sq ft facility in Pampa, Texas, Shield 5 reflects nearly 40 years of formulation work for municipalities and infrastructure owners. We supply consistent drums and pails with traceability, and we private-label to your brand standards - labels, SDS/TDS, and packaging - so your program scales without distributor markups or supply drift.
- Releases tags with 180–200°F hot-water wash; no harsh solvents needed.
- Breathable, clear finish preserves appearance of porous masonry and stone.
- Two-coat system that re-applies fast; return-to-service same day.
- Contractor coverage you can count on: 200–300 sq ft per gallon, typical.
- Water-based, low odor, suitable for schools and transit corridors.
- Built for field variability across brick, concrete, limestone, and stucco.
Preparation: Clean the surface of dirt, oils, and loose material. Substrate must be dry and sound. Mask adjacent glass and metals. Test a small area for appearance and release.
Application: Ready to use - do not dilute. Apply with low-pressure pump sprayer and back-roll, or use a 3/8" nap roller. First coat: apply to saturation on porous substrates. Allow 20–45 minutes to dry at 70°F, 50% RH. Apply a second coat perpendicular to the first. Extremely porous surfaces may benefit from a third pass. Typical total coverage: 200–300 sq ft/gal across two coats, depending on porosity. Apply when ambient and surface temperatures are 40–100°F and rising. Do not apply if rain is expected within 12 hours. Protect from freezing during storage.
Graffiti removal: Use hot-water pressure washing at 180–200°F with a fan tip. Start at the lowest effective pressure (1,000–2,000 psi typical), working top-down with overlapping passes. The coating and graffiti will release together. Rinse thoroughly and allow the area to dry.
Recoat: After cleanup and once dry, reapply Shield 5 to the affected area using the same two-coat process.
- 40–70% faster graffiti removal versus uncoated masonry, based on crew timing.
- 200–300 sq ft per gallon total coverage across two coats, typical field range.
- Tags release in under 15 minutes per 100 sq ft with hot-water wash.
- Reduce solvent cleaner usage by 80–100% on coated areas.
- Recoat window 20–45 minutes between coats at 70°F, 50% RH.
Factory-direct means you skip distributor margin and the whiplash of inconsistent supply. SaraWest formulates, blends, and fills under one roof in Pampa, Texas, so every pail and drum matches spec with full batch traceability. You get application-driven chemistry - not repackaged commodity - backed by nearly 40 years in masonry protection. We private-label cleanly, ship on your schedules, and support your crews with clear TDS/SDS. It’s the same proven coating, without the markup and guesswork.
