Antigraffiti protection without intentionally added PFAS from Evonik

Protection with responsibility

Protectosil ECO-TRETE® ANTIGRAFFITI safeguards what we build today for tomorrow’s generations.

PROTECTOSIL® is more than just a system impregnating buildings. The silanes in their formulations form a chemical bond with substrates, providing durable graffiti protection, as well as protection against water, corrosion and contamination. These effects help preserve structures for generations to come – delivering flawless façades while now addressing PFAS concerns.

Evonik’s newly developed anti-graffiti solution Protectosil ECO-TRETE® ANTIGRAFFITI reliably safeguards surfaces from graffiti vandalism. And it does so without PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) – meaning the product contains no intentionally added PFAS and is not PFAS itself.*

Webinar: Protectosil ECO-TRETE® ANTIGRAFFITI - PFAS Alternatives for Modern Building Protection

Efforts to regulate PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) at the international level – and thus protect the environment from so-called “forever chemicals” – date back to the mid-2000s. Some PFAS have already been restricted from consumer and industrial products. A comprehensive ban on this group of substances remains on the agenda of the EU and other international institutions. Evonik is responding to these challenges with a formulation that addresses the PFAS concerns: Protectosil ECO-TRETE® ANTIGRAFFITI. This graffiti control system allows manufacturers and users to continue relying on effective building protection systems while ensuring regulatory compliance.

FAQs

Protectosil ECO-TRETE® ANTIGRAFFITI does not contain intentionally added PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and is not PFAS itself. However, due to the widespread use of PFAS in industrial processes – such as in precursors and/or in production equipment – trace amounts of these substances may be present in the supply chain. Completely eliminating PFAS traces is currently not technically feasible in industrial production. We are committed to minimizing such entries as much as possible.

Protectosil ECO-TRETE® ANTIGRAFFITI is a newly designed anti-graffiti solution that offers all the benefits of graffiti control systems – only without intentionally added PFAS.^* This supports you in achieving compliance with current and upcoming PFAS regulations.
