Multi-wash sacrificial barrier that cuts recoats on high-hit surfaces.
Your crews clean the same walls week after week. Tags go up, you bring heat and pressure, and the standard sacrificial coat disappears after the first wash. That means recurring lane closures, man-hours you can’t bill twice, and a maintenance backlog that never ends. You need a barrier that releases graffiti cleanly, but doesn’t demand a full recoat every time you roll the truck.
Shield 7 is our longer-service sacrificial film engineered for corridors that get hit often. A high-solids, water-based matrix lays down a uniform release layer that bonds into mineral pores yet stays breathable and clear. Under hot water, the coating lets go of paints and inks without biting the substrate, and - on dense masonry - it keeps working through multiple clean cycles before you need to rebuild the film. Low VOC, UV-stable, and matte, it won’t darken brick or stone or trap moisture.
We blend Shield 7 in Pampa, Texas, inside our 30,000 sq ft plant with nearly 40 years of formulation discipline. Every batch is checked for solids, viscosity, and film build so your field results match spec. We private-label without drama - your brand on pails and drums, your TDS/SDS, and consistent supply that scales from pilot blocks to citywide bids.
- Multi-cycle sacrificial film survives several hot-water cleanings before recoat.
- Breathable, clear matte finish that won’t darken masonry or stone.
- High coverage and fast dry reduce closures, labor, and return trips.
- Water-based, low VOC chemistry suited for enclosed or tunnel work.
- Tight QC on solids for consistent release and predictable removal pressure.
Surface prep: Remove existing coatings, soils, salts, and efflorescence. Substrate must be clean, dry, and sound. Mask adjacent glazing and sealed paints. Perform a small test area to confirm appearance and release.
Application: Ready-to-use. Do not dilute. Apply with low-pressure sprayer, microfiber applicator, or 3/8" nap roller. Two uniform coats recommended. Allow first coat to dry before the second. Typical coverage is 150–250 sq ft per gallon per coat, substrate-dependent. Apply when surface and air are 50–95°F. Avoid rain or wash-downs for 12–24 hours. Dry to recoat in 1–2 hours at 70°F, 50% RH; full cure in 24 hours.
Graffiti removal: Use hot-water pressure washing at 180–200°F with a fan tip. Start at 1,000 psi and increase as needed up to 2,000 psi, holding 6–12 inches from the surface. Rinse thoroughly. After removal, allow the substrate to dry and reapply Shield 7 to the cleaned area to rebuild the sacrificial film.
Notes: Best on unsealed masonry, concrete, stucco, and natural stone. Not recommended for polished stone, glass, or previously sealed, glossy paints. Store above 40°F. Protect from freezing.
- 30–50% fewer recoats annually versus standard sacrificial wax films.
- Withstands 3–5 hot-water washdowns on dense masonry before reapplication.
- 150–250 sq ft per gallon per coat coverage, depending on porosity.
- Dry to recoat in 1–2 hours; full cure in 24 hours at 70°F.
- Typical removal at 180–200°F and 1,000–2,000 psi in one pass.
Factory-direct means you pay for chemistry, not a distributor’s margin. We formulate and blend in Pampa, Texas, so supply is stable, lead times are tight, and QC is on our floor - not someone else’s. You get formulation depth when specs get tricky, private-label support without hoops, and consistent batches that behave the same from pilot to rollout. It’s a cleaner path from bid to field results, under your brand.
