KATS 4550 is a premium, eco-friendly water-based protective coating designed to provide effective corrosion and rust prevention for both ferrous and nonferrous metals. This VOC-free (volatile organic compound-free) solution is ideal for indoor or covered outdoor use, offering up to 12 months of durable protection, depending on environmental and storage conditions.
KATS 5080 is a high-performance, water-based synthetic acrylic copolymer coating formulated to provide durable protection against abrasion and environmental damage on nonporous surfaces such as painted components, plated metals, plastics, and glass. This clear protective coating offers a strong barrier against common corrosive and damaging elements including acid rain, tree sap, bird droppings, insect residues, iron particles, and abrasive dust, making it an ideal solution for industries seeking an eco-friendly surface protectant that extends the lifespan and appearance of treated materials.
KATS 5200 is a water-based coating enhanced with sustainable technology, engineered to protect chrome surfaces from environmental damage while delivering excellent early water resistance. Ideal for automotive and industrial applications, this eco-conscious protective coating helps shield chrome from moisture, pollutants, and surface contaminants. During final rinsing, removal may require high-pressure water or mild sponge agitation, and it can be easily cleaned off using KATS 8077 or Kwik Kleen Concentrate cleaner, making it a practical and effective solution for preserving chrome finishes in demanding environments.
KATS 5580 is a VOC-free, water-based synthetic acrylic copolymer coating designed to provide clear, tint-free protection for nonporous surfaces such as painted parts, plated metals, plastics, and glass. Offering the same high-performance durability as KATS 5080 without the yellow tint, this environmentally friendly protective coating defends against abrasion and a range of environmental contaminants including acid rain, tree sap, bird droppings, insect residues, iron particles, and abrasive dust—making it an ideal solution for surface protection across automotive, industrial, and commercial applications.
KATS 6027 is a water-based rust preventive coating formulated with advanced synthetic polymer technology to deliver long-lasting corrosion protection for both ferrous and nonferrous metals. This eco-friendly, VOC-compliant solution dries to a clear, high-gloss finish that not only enhances appearance but also provides up to one year of outdoor protection when properly applied.
KATS 6028 is a water-based rust preventive coating formulated with innovative plant-based polymer technology to deliver exceptional long-term corrosion protection for both ferrous and nonferrous metals. This environmentally friendly, VOC-free solution dries clear with an attractive satin finish and is ideal for sustainable surface protection in industrial, automotive, and commercial applications. Offering up to three years of durable rust prevention, KATS 6028 combines performance and eco-conscious design for extended metal surface preservation.
KATS 6228 is a water-based rust preventive coating formulated with sustainable plant-based polymer technology to provide superior corrosion protection for both ferrous and nonferrous metals. Designed for long-lasting performance, this eco-friendly coating dries to a sleek black satin finish and offers up to three years of protection against rust and environmental damage. Ideal for applications requiring both durability and visual appeal, KATS 6228 is a reliable solution for industrial, automotive, and equipment surface protection.
KATS 8077 is a concentrated water-based remover specifically formulated to efficiently dissolve and remove KATS temporary protective coatings commonly applied to vehicles, machinery, and equipment during transport or storage. This eco-friendly remover is designed for optimal performance in temperatures between 60°–80°F (16°–27°C) and should be used in shaded or controlled environments to keep the coating surface wet throughout the removal process. KATS 8077 offers a safe, effective, and non-hazardous solution for cleaning off protective films without damaging the underlying surfaces.
Kwik Kleen is a biodegradable, water-based cleaner and degreaser derived from Kwik Kleen Concentrate, formulated for safe and effective removal of oil, grease, and dirt from a variety of surfaces. Ideal for industrial, automotive, and equipment cleaning applications, this versatile solution should be applied in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and excessive wind, with optimal temperatures between 60°–80°F (16°–27°C). When used as a degreaser, allow the solution to soak, then agitate with a soft sponge if needed to emulsify contaminants, followed by rinsing with clean water—reapplying as necessary for tough buildup. Always review the MSDS and wear appropriate protective gear before use.
Whether you need long-term rust prevention, temporary surface protection, or heavy-duty cleaning power, Riteks’ water-based coatings offer performance you can rely on.
