Ritec Promotes Clearshield Food & Hygiene

Newly launched by Ritec is ClearShield Food & Hygiene, designed for glass and ceramic surfaces where hygiene is of paramount importance - ideal for environments such as hospitals and kitchens. Glass shelves and counters that are in direct or indirect contact with food will also benefit. Guarding against unsightly staining and discolouration, ClearShield Food & Hygiene creates an easy-to-clean, anti-bacterial surface without the need for aggressive cleaning chemicals.

Ritec's specialist system for protecting sandblasted glass also generated considerable interest as well as its latest manual M10 spraying equipment for applying ClearShield in the factory. In addition, the company received an unprecedented number of enquiries about the use of ClearShield on solar panels. Ritec's Chairman and Managing Director, Stephen Byers, believes this reflects the growing market for 'greener' energy sources. He says: ‘ClearShield is a really worthwhile investment as it protects the panels from the build up airborne contaminants such as dust and pollution, which can seriously reduce their energy-producing performance - testament to 'Cleaner is Greener'.’

Once again, the Ritec Hotelship moored on the Rhine proved a great way to relax and network after a busy day at the show. This year, the company, together with key UK trade publications, the GGF and flat glass specialist Go Glass, hosted a Charity Casino Evening onboard which not only proved an excellent social occasion, but also raised over 500 Euros for Clic Sargent, the UK's leading children's cancer charity.

Summing up, Stephen Byers declared Glasstec 2008 a resounding success for Ritec. ‘The Show provides an important international platform for showcasing our award-winning, durable glass surface protection technology for an ever-widening range of applications.’
