Ritec renovate stained and faded surfaces to their original ‘as-new’ condition when regular cleaning is no longer effective, and protects them to prevent further damage. The protection can also be applied for glass in the factory to provide protection during construction. This means reduced costs for building contractors avoiding difficult final clean, delayed certification on handover and costly remedial work or glass replacement. It also means reduced maintenance costs for building owners and occupiers, the prevention of surface degradation and difficult maintenance over time, and the preservation of high specification glazing performance.

During construction, splatter from concrete, plaster and mortar, cement dust and other construction materials stain unprotected glass and are difficult or impossible to remove. Inevitably, unprotected surfaces become contaminated over time by building run-off, limescale and pollution, resulting in a faded appearance as well as costly and difficult cleaning. Ritec’s award-winning ClearShield System provided solutions to those problems to architects, building or glazing contractors and facilities managers on prestigious projects including the Lloyd’s of London building, Thailand’s new Bangkok airport, New York’s sophisticated The Modern restaurant and the Shanghai World Finance Center, set to be the tallest building in China upon completion this year.
 
ClearShield is highly versatile and is applied to interior or exterior glass in a range of applications worldwide, such as buildings façades, cruise ships, shower enclosures, sandblasted glass and solar panels. Ritec will also be introducing its latest addition to the ClearShield range, ClearShield Heat Performance. This provides durable protection for glass, ceramics and other vitreous surfaces against adhesion and growth of micro-organisms, such as bacteria and fungi on surfaces in food processing plants, restaurants and hospitals, as well as making the surface easier to clean and keep clean. This new formulation meets EU and US FDA requirements for direct contact with all types of food.
