Ritecoat In Use

Toshiba Osaka Building, Japan

This building is located in the center of Osaka City. The exterior wall of aluminum panels is always subject to air pollution and exhaust fumes. It had also been deteriorated by UV rays and stained black by rain.

Some 2,000m2 of external anodised aluminum panels were renovated and protected with the Ritecoat System.

As a result of three-year comparative trial applications with a competitive resin coating, the superiority of Ritecoat is well recognised.

Goban-Cho Grand Building, Japan

This building is located in front of Ichigaya Station of Japan Railway. The exterior panel is a standard anodized aluminium.

The last cleaning was carried out about five years ago. Since then, heavy stains from the air pollution had accumulated, which were almost impossible to remove with a conventional cleaning method.

Ritecoat System has successfully remove all heavy stains and also protect the anodized aluminium panels. The surfaces are now easy to clean and maintain.

Sydney Tower, NSW, Australia

The Sydney Tower (formerly known as the AMP Tower) is the second tallest free-standing structure in Australia, standing at 305m. The top of the tower is anodised aluminum.

The Tower had not been cleaned for many years, had become badly stained and had lost a lot of its golden colour. In preparation for the 2000 Olympic Games it was decided to renovate the tower.

A team of abseilers renovated the aluminium to restore the tower back to its original glory. Ritecoat was then applied to maintain the golden appearance and help with future maintenance.
