Safety data sheet
Technical data sheet

1. What is Coo-Var Vandalene Anti-Climb Paint used for?

Coo-Var Vandalene is a thick, non-drying paint designed to prevent potential intruders from gaining a secure foothold on surfaces. Its tacky finish also leaves a traceable mark on anyone who attempts to climb over the painted area.

2. How does the paint help identify trespassers?

The paint contains a hidden identifier that transfers onto clothing or skin. This traceable mark can assist in identifying unauthorised individuals or vandals who come into contact with the coated surface.

3. On which surfaces can I apply this anti-climb paint?

Vandalene Anti-Climb Paint can be applied to various surfaces, including wood, metal, masonry, and plastic. It’s often used on fences, walls, guttering, and rooftops where extra security is required.

4. How do I apply Coo-Var Vandalene?

Use a brush or mitt to apply a thick, even layer. Because it remains tacky, it’s recommended to wear protective gloves and old clothing to avoid unwanted transfer.

5. How long does this paint remain effective?

The paint does not dry, so it remains sticky and effective as long as it is not rubbed off or covered with debris. Periodic reapplication may be necessary if the surface accumulates dust or dirt over time.

6. Are there any safety or legal considerations?

Yes, it’s important to display visible warning signs indicating that anti-climb paint has been applied to meet safety and legal requirements. This also acts as a further deterrent to potential intruders.

7. How much area does one kilogram cover?

Coverage is approximately 1–2 m² per kg, depending on the substrate’s texture and condition. Apply liberally in high-risk areas to maintain a reliable, tacky barrier.
