NewLook International, Inc. Graf-X WB™
Technical Information Sheet
NewLook’s Graf-X WB is designed to protect all types of vertical masonry surfaces—brick, concrete blocks, stones, etc—from graffiti. It can be used on painted surfaces, indoors, and
outdoors because it is VOC compliant. Graf-X WB incorporates polymeric nano-fusion technology, which creates a strong, breathable and clear film with long-lasting protection; graffiti
may be removed several times before re-coating is necessary. NewLook’s Graf-X WB is odorless and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) compliant.
BENEFITS
! Breathable, UV-resistant and non-yellowing.
! Excellent penetration on porous surfaces.
! Suitable for previously painted surfaces.
! Mold and salt-air resistant.
! Great chemical and abrasion resistance.
! Long lasting protection for all types of vertical surfaces.
! Water based VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) compliant.
! Single-component, ambient cure.
PREPARATION PRIOR TO APPLICATION
! All debris, loose concrete, coatings, dust, grease, loose paints, oils, release, wax, etc. must be removed (including “cure and seal” products). All joint caulking and patching
should be done before application.
! At a minimum, proper pressure washing is required to help open concrete pores and remove obstructing particles, which includes but is not limited to: dust, dirt, and curing
residue. If pressure washing is not an option, such as interior areas, alternative preparation methods may be required: light acid, grinding, stripping, etching, wet
vacuuming, etc.
! Use a hot or cold water pressure washer with NewLook’s Mean Klean Concrete Degreaser when oil or other types of stains are present.
! Graffiti should be removed with NewLook’s Graf-X Clean™, a water-based and biodegradable graffiti remover, which breaks the molecular bond between the paint and
surface.
APPLICATION PREREQUISITES
! Protect walls and adjacent areas where sealing is not desired
! Do not use when hydrostatic pressure or efflorescence is excessive
! Apply a representative jobsite test sample (mock-up) for approval
MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTION
1. Stir thoroughly before using. Do not dilute. Graf-X WB is a ready to use solution
2. Apply to the surface with a low pressure (paint) sprayer. Avoid installing in high wind conditions.
3. Initially, apply a fine mist to break the surface tension. Apply a second, heavier coat to cover the surface thoroughly (wet on wet application). Follow the coverage
information (below) closely for long-lasting projection.
4. Apply coating only when air and surface temperature is between 50°F (10°C) rising and 90°F (32°C) and cooling
5. Exact coverage will depend upon the porosity and density of the surface. Covers an average of 100 square feet per gallon.
CURING AND POST APPLICATION
Complete drying times will vary depending on temperature, air temperature, humidity, concrete porosity, and other local conditions. At 77°F (25°C) and 50% relative humidity.
MAINTENANCE
! Apply additional coatings of Graf-X WB as needed.
! Use NewLook Graf-X Clean™ graffiti remover
! Use mineral spirits or xylene to clean tools and equipment.
