RITEC SIGNS ON FOR FIT SHOW 2016
Ritec International Ltd has
already signed on for FIT
Show 2016.

stand (205), signing on the
dotted line just one day in

what we got, so signing
up for FIT Show 2016 only
made sense.”
Showing off ClearShield’s
low maintenance easy clean
system by demonstrating
what happens when paint
is projected all over a
glass casing coated in
ClearShield, visitors and
exhibitors alike were in
awe of its resistant powers.
Clearshield is a polymer
that chemically bonds to

(Low-Maintenance), AntiMicrobial Glass. Low-M
Glass is durable and ‘nonstick’, stopping limescale

glass surface, reducing
maintenance by 50% on
average.
Ritec launched both its
upgraded ClearShield
Eco System and one stop
shop for domestic glass
applications at the Show.
