Mexican Wave for ClearShield

A proven success in the UK, Ritec’s Clearshield Ritec’s ClearShield glass protection and renovation system is also the first choice for keeping glass cleaner for longer in Mexico...

Transparencia en Servicios (TS), a licensed Clearshield applicator in Mexico City, has completed a wide range of projects using the ClearShield System, from residential windows to curtain walling on large corporate office blocks.

According to TS Director General, Ivonne Campos Saldana, ClearShield is a great innovation: “We’ve been using the System since 1994 and have built a strong reputation as a solution provider with many satisfied clients. Now when building owners and facilities managers in Mexico have problems keeping glass clean, TS is their first port of call."

TS customers include car dealerships, insurance company headquarters and residential estates throughout Mexico. One of its most prestigious contracts is the renovation of glass at two Banco Santander Serfin office buildings in Santa Fe and Queretaro. The buildings were awarded the Intelligent Building Prize for their use of avant-garde technology. Given this accolade, the Bank was especially keen to maintain the buildings in pristine condition. So when they had a problem keeping the glass clean due to contamination by air borne pollution they turned to TS.

By converting high maintenance unprotected glass into Low-M® (Low-Maintenance) Glass, ClearShield ensures higher resistance to corrosion and staining for easier cleaning without the need for harsh chemicals. The treatment process at the two Banco Santander Serfin buildings began with the renovation of hundreds of metres of both interior and exterior glass by TS’s fully trained on-site applicators. All the glass was then surface treated with ClearShield, which is based on a special polymeric resin and provides effective surface protection. Applied as a liquid, ClearShield reacts with the glass and becomes an integral part of the surface by forming a protective treatment that is chemically bonded to the surface and measures less than a micron in thickness.

ClearShield is part of a fully integrated system for the renovation, protection and maintenance of all kinds of exterior and interior glass, including residential windows and architectural glazing. It can be applied onto new glass in the factory before installation using either manual or automatic spraying equipment, or onsite for existing glass.
