All surfaces are subjected to a weathering process that reduces their performance, damages their appearance and makes their maintenance increasingly difficult. Protective systems are commonly specified for most materials used, such as metals. Unfortunately, in most cases there is still one material that is left unprotected: glass |
The ClearShield System is a unique system that provides a wide range of solutions to all types of glass, in the factory or on-site. The expertise provided covers renovation for glass whose performance has already been greatly reduced through staining and discolouration, and protection and maintenance for new or renovated glass as a preventative measure. Renovation Ritec International pioneered surface protection for the flat glass industry with its ‘non-stick’ surface technology starting back in 1982. Extensive research and experience have resulted in the understanding and expertise in the renovation of glass.

In 2003, ClearShield® 'non-stick' easy-clean glass surface treatment was applied to glass throughout the newly built Bangkok Airport. ClearShield® significantly reduces glass maintenance and prevents the build-up of dirt and other contaminants for a long-lasting pristine appearance between cleaning cycles. This video from 2017 demonstrates the durability of ClearShield® protection 14 years after the original application, with the glass still looking great! ClearShield's unique polymer-based 'non-stick' technology bonds with the glass, providing exceptional durability. Unlike a coating, it will never crack, peel or discolour. |
