Today graffiti is a sort of street art, one of the most popular forms of artistic self-expression all over the world. Graffiti include all kinds of wall drawings – simple words as well as exquisite graphics. от простых слов до изысканных рисунков. Unfortunately, nearly each wall, architecture monument, railroad car or subway station is covered with graffiti. This is but a brief list of what was vandalized with the help of a spray can. Our construction companies, communal services and restoration workers have to paint these drawings over. In Pic.1 it is seen that the painted surface was covered with graffiti and then it was painted over, although the tags should have been washed off first. As graffiti was not removed they emerged through paint coating again.  The right solution would be to wash the vandal drawing off the surface. Mendeleev Ltd. experts made their practicable contribution to the struggle against graffiti, having designed Old Paint Remover No.281, a graffiti removal agent.
