Anti-climb paint, (also called anti climbing paint, anti-intruder paint, anti-burglar paint or security paint) is a petroleum gel based paint which is applied thickly and never sets. It remains in gel form making any attempt at climbing any surface painted with it almost impossible and certainly very messy as it will contaminate skin, clothing, etc.
To avoid accidental contact, it is suggested that Anti Climb paint is only used on surfaces above head height (ideally at a minimum of 2.4 metres / 8' off the ground) and Insight Security recommend that it should be used in conjunction with appropriate warning signs (in most cases, display of an appropriate warning sign may be a legal requirement where anti climb paint is used at non domestic properties / locations).
Typically it is used on poles, down-pipes, wall tops, railings, roof & ridge tiles, etc. and in some cases may be used in conjunction with other anti climb products such as spiked collars, rotating barriers and the like. More recently, the product has been recommended by the London Diocesan Advisory Committee as a practical method of deterring theft of lead or copper roof, pipe-work, etc, from church roofs.Safe and easy to apply with no volatile solvents, anti climb paint is non toxic.
It sheds most airborne debris and offers excellent weatherproofing protection to wood, metal and masonry surfaces
