Interpon EC Background Graffiti is a common phenomenon worldwide. Whether considered art or vandalism, graffiti is a source of nuisance: Costly and time consuming cleaning process Increased maintenance cost when substrates are damaged Defacement of public space and a perceived feeling of intimidation A powerful shield of protection for your materials such as Interpon EC (Easy Clean) provides a long- term solution against not only graffiti, but also weather, corrosion and chemicals.

Interpon EC Overview Our Polyurethane based Interpon EC provides an effective weapon against graffiti attacks. The high scratch resistance and low porosity-absorption characteristics of the film provide outstanding permanent protection. Graffiti created with spray paints or marking pens can be effectively removed repeatedly without sacrificing coating appearance, durability or weathering, using commercially available cleaning agents. Easy to Clean Outstanding chemical resistance Excellent physical properties Weather and corrosion resistance Available in gloss to satin finishes and textures* Applied as a single coat or as clear topcoat Zero/near zero VOC compounds *a structured finish makes cleaning more difficult and thus reduces the products properties in terms of stain resistance.

Market Sector Suitable for any exterior environment which is heavily exposed to public use such as: Infrastructure for public transport Trains, metro, subway, trams (seats, window frames, ceilings etc.) Recreational equipment Electrical cabinets Roller doors Lockers Public furniture White boards (dry erase boards) Interpon EC 4

Anti graffiti properties of Interpon EC depend upon many factors Color and type of finishes of the coatings Procedure used to evaluate the anti-graffiti property, particularly – Method of application of the graffiti – Method of removal of the graffiti – Type of graffiti – Conditioning (temperature and timing) of the coated sheets both after the application and after the removal of the graffiti – Type of remover used – Procedure to remove the graffiti Interpon EC 5

Interpon EC Powder properties For detailed information please consult the TDS Coatings with a higher degree of smoothness and flow such as Interpon EC are particularly sensitive, therefore coaters should pay close attention and follow guidelines for pretreatment and cleaning procedures. Dirt, oil, and chemicals in the air or on the substrate will result in imperfections when applying Interpon EC Powder Coatings. Note: there is a separate TDS for UA000I, when used for white markerboards. Note 2: For railway application contact AkzoNobel for individual technical datasheet for each used product Interpon EC 6
