Hi Squirrels are eating my lead flashing around the chimney. If I coat the lead with the grey anti-climb paint would this prevent the squirrels chewing it? They could still reach the lead by standing on the tiles themselves, but would this be a deterrent to them by way of smell / taste / texture, do you know? Is the paint OK to use on lead flashing (won't damage it)? I assume the paint won't harm the squirrels (as the Q&A advises it doesn't harm cats)? Many thanks for your help

This product can be applied to lead, but this is not animal safe. As it is designed to never fully harden, if used you may have issues with the squirrels spreading it on to other areas.

How long will the paint stay wet on a fence?

When applied correctly this is designed as a non drying coating and will remain tacky.

We are looking to purchase some anti climb paint for 80m of Palisade fencing how much do you advise we need if applying 10cm to pales tops.

This area would equate to 8m² in which case you'd need between 4-8kg of the Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint for this.

Hi there, Please can you tell me how to get this black anti climb paint out of carpets and a cat, and is it toxic to the cat Many thanks

Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint will not harm the cat, it’s primarily petroleum jelly. The carpet can be dealt with by hot iron on brown paper to get most of the petroleum jelly out then washing up liquids and water should take out the pigments. The cat, wipe the area with soap and warm water until it’s clean.

What information should be put on a warning sign when anti climb paint is being used

We offer Coo-Var Vandalene Deterrent Signs .

Which Vandalene product is best for a (mostly red) brick wall? Part of the wall is at 45 degrees. Will Vanadalene stick to a brick wall with this angle? Thank you.

There is only one Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint but it is available in 4 colours and can be applied to vertical or horizontal surfaces so 45 degrees will be fine.

if someone with this paint on their hands tries to then wipe it off using my wall (made of timber and brick), how easy will it be for me to clean the mess off said wall?

On brickwork relatively easily, on soft wood less so.

Can Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint be applied to a felt roof without ruining the felt? Need to prevent someone climbing on a flat roof with easy access.

Yes, Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint is fine on felt.

Can Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint be used on a plastic coated chain link fence please.

Yes, it would last longer if you could clean and lightly abrade the surface to provide a key for the Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint to stick to.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Description

Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint

Coo-Var Vandalene Anti Climb Paint is formulated to create a slippery, non-drying surface, effectively deterring unauthorised access. Ideal for use on surfaces that might be exploited for climbing, this paint is an essential security measure for properties prone to unauthorised entry. The product is easy to apply using a brush or mitt, and it adheres well to various surfaces including masonry, wood, and metal. Pre-treatment of the surface with the appropriate primer is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and durability.

Application Guidelines

Before application, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as grease or oil. For porous surfaces like masonry and wood, a Coo-Var Acrylic Primer Sealer should be used, while metal surfaces should be treated with Coo-Var All Metals Primer. The paint should be applied in a single thick coat to achieve the desired non-drying, slippery finish.

Usage Restrictions

This product is not suitable for use in areas where temperatures exceed 30°C. It should be applied at heights exceeding 1.8 metres to avoid accidental contact by legitimate users. Always ensure that notification signs are posted in areas where the paint is applied to alert individuals to the potential hazard.

Maintenance and Safety

Once applied, this anti-climb paint requires no additional maintenance. However, it is crucial to follow all safety instructions during application, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation during application, particularly in confined spaces.

Health and Safety
