Below are Riteks’ Core Products with Exceptional Performance for internal & external applications in the Inland and Offshore Marine Vessel market:

RitePoxi One Coat Marine Epoxy

The RitePoxi One Coat Marine Epoxy was designed as a true one coat system specifically for inland and offshore marine vessels.  This is a unique epoxy formulated with ultra-low VOCs and HAPS.  RitePoxi One Coat Marine Epoxy is applied on both internal and external surfaces, even directly to metal which eliminates the need for a primer.  It has high build capabilities and can be applied up to 30 mils DFT sag free.  This epoxy does not require a topcoat because it has a high gloss finish and retains its gloss for 18-24 months.  RitePoxi One Coat Marine Epoxy benefits inland and offshore barge and tug owners, operators and shipyards by reducing environmental costs, lowering labor costs through reduced application time, eliminating risks associated with multiple coat systems, and decreasing downtime by bringing their customer’s vessel into service quicker resulting in more work.

*Glass flake and non-skid versions are available for high foot traffic areas and where high abrasion resistance is required.

RiteLiner

RiteLiner products are high build Novolac Modified Epoxies that are applied in one coat.  This product line has very low VOCs and ultra-low HAPs, with excellent adhesion designed for direct-to-metal applications.  RiteLiner is designed to be used as a tank liner for applications that require excellent resistance to hydrocarbons, alcohols, and petroleum products.  RiteLiner is a superior option for high temperature materials as it has temperature resistance up to 500°F, and proven to return a tank back into long term service quickly without force drying.
