Coo-Var Vandalene Anti-Climb Paint is a thick, single-pack, permanently tacky non-drying security coating designed to provide a slippery surface on walls, downpipes, gutters, window ledges, and fences to prevent unauthorised access. Unlike conventional paints that dry and harden, Vandalene never dries — it remains permanently tacky, providing a continuous slippery surface that denies intruders any secure foothold on potential climb points.
Developed by Coo-Var with over 115 years of British coating expertise, Vandalene is the professional security solution for protecting commercial properties, industrial facilities, residential properties, schools, and public buildings from unauthorised access. The permanently tacky non-drying film works continuously in all UK weather conditions — rain, frost, and UV exposure do not reduce its effectiveness.
Vandalene contains a hidden identifier that transfers to the skin and clothing of anyone who contacts the treated surface. This forensic evidence helps police identify trespassers quickly and supports prosecution. The visible presence of Vandalene — combined with mandatory warning signs — acts as a powerful visual deterrent before any contact is made.
Apply by brush or protective mitt to any surface above 1.8 m that could be used as a grip point to gain unauthorised access — window ledges, downpipes, gutters, walls, fences, gates, flat roof edges, and any other potential climb point. Seal porous surfaces before applying: use Coo-Var Acrylic Primer Sealer on masonry and wood, and SPO All Metals Primer on metal surfaces. Coverage of 1–2 m² per kg at 0.5 mm film thickness — apply generously for maximum effectiveness.
⚠️ Legal requirement: Warning signs must be displayed wherever Anti-Climb Paint is applied. Use Coo-Var Anti-Climb Paint Warning Signs to meet safety and legal requirements and maximise deterrence.
Suitable for masonry, brick, timber, metal, and plastic surfaces above 1.8 m. Available in Black, Grey, and Forest Green (2 kg) and Black (0.8 kg and 4 kg). VOC 112 g/L, flash point >32°C — use in well-ventilated area.
Manufactured in the UK to rigorous standards and trusted by property owners, facilities managers, security professionals, and local authorities for reliable long-term protection against unauthorised access.
