Quick Clean Glass


The ClearShield Eco-System
upgrades ordinary glass to
Low-Maintenance glass that
is a lasting sur-face protection
system, and is now available
for the first time here in
Mallorca for the yacht mar-
ket. ClearShield Eco-System
for glass is proven and
guaranteed winning many
International Awards since
1981 for its Performance and
Durability, and is still the first
and only liquid-applied glass
surface treatment proven
to work through real
life experience.


QuickCleanGlass is the sole
licence applicator for Spain
and the Balearic Islands based
in Mallorca. ClearShield is the
perfect solution for owners
of properties and yachts with
glass cursed by the pol-lution
and the Island’s extreme
weather and the harsh salt
water environment.


Virgin, Cunard, Royal Princess
Cruise Fleet, Lloyd’s of London
are but a few who have used
Clearshield Eco-System. The
System has many qualities to
enhance its suitability to the
yacht market, including:




  1. Non-Stick – always much
    easier to clean and keep
    clean, reducing cleaning by
    50% on average.




  2. Durable – resists attack by
    Moisture, Alkalinity and Dirt
    (‘MAD’), the main enemies
    of glass, maintaining the
    original visibility, clarity
    and cleanability;




  3. Strong performance –
    resistant to all types of dirt,
    organic (e.g. motor vehicle




exhaust or traffic film, bird
droppings, tree sap) and
inorganic (e.g. hard water
deposits, building run-off,
metal oxides) – suitable for
all types of glass, exterior
and interior;

4) Versatile – easily applied
at any step in the glass supply
chain – with opportunities
for diversification and
differentiation;

5) Energy-saving and
“green” – reduces energy
requirements for routine glass
washing by 50% on average


  • for lower emissions and
    carbon footprints as well
    as savings in time, effort
    and money;


6) Light-enhancing –
maintains original light
transmission and day-lighting


  • for improved productivity
    and well-being of building
    occupants;


7) Anti-microbial – resistant
to adhesion and growth of
bacteria, viruses and fungi


  • for applications where
    hygiene is paramount;


8) Non-hazardous – not
classified as flammable or
toxic - for safe and easy
application in factory
or on-site;

9) Tried and tested over
extended periods of time
under actual field conditions
for all types of glass (new or
old, exterior or interior) in
all types of locations (urban,
countryside, sea) and in
all types of environmental
conditions (hot, cold, dry,
humid, windy, sandy);

10) Part of a complete

system – renovation,
protection, maintenance


  • for solutions to ‘Problem
    Glass’ with opportunities
    for diversification and
    differentiation.


Based on these 10 key
advantages, Ritec ClearShield®
has developed through actual
field experience during more
than 30 years a perceived
value in each market sector
of the flat glass industry.
In addition, Ritec has,
periodically, improved the
proprietary chemical cross-
linking system, inhibitors and
stabilisers of ClearShield®,
which together determine its
performance and durability.

Glass Renovation
Glass already contaminated
is renovated whilst the ship
is in port or dry dock, fitting
in with normal operating
and maintenance schedules.
This process removes all
contaminants that have not
yet etched the glass during
the corrosion process. The
surface is restored to a
pristine ‘as-new’ appearance,
ready for the application of
ClearShield® to upgrading to
ClearShield Eco-Glass™.

ClearShield® Protection
The harsh marine
environment accelerates
the corrosion process of
unprotected glass. Seaspray
contamination bonds to the
glass surface and cleaning
becomes very difficult, if not
impossible. Dirty glass creates
passenger dissatisfaction
and affects the crew’s
view, compromising safety.
ClearShield Eco-Glass™ is the
ideal solution as it is proven
to provide protection from
marine corrosion.
