The variations of their hydric properties and aspect (colour and gloss) with regard to the untreated substrates were later studied in the laboratory. The results obtained permitted to assess the suitability of 4 of the main types of chemical formulations employed to be used as anti-graffiti. This study concludes that the sacrificial anti-graffiti with polymeric paraffins in its composition presents the lowest reductions of the hydric properties of the studied substrates, being also the variations in colour the least perceptible.14enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.3989/mc.2010.45507Antigraffiti coatingsColourGlossHydric propertiesPorous substratesSurface treatmentsBuilding and ConstructionGeneral Materials ScienceMechanics of Materialshttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=77949670356&partnerID=8YFLogxK
