Advanced Insulative Coating for Safer, Smarter, and Cooler Operations
NanoTech Insulator (formerly Cool Touch), the core of our Insulative Coating System
Our Insulative Coating System brings three products together: NanoTech Zinc Primer, NanoTech Insulator, and NanoTech Insulator TopCoat. It provides powerful thermal protection in a thin, easy-to-apply layer. Designed to reduce surface temperatures, prevent corrosion, and protect against heat-related injuries, it replaces traditional insulation with a faster, cleaner, and more versatile solution for high-performance environments.

Key System Components: Insulative Coating System
NanoTech Insulator
NanoTech Insulator is a Next-Gen high-performance coating engineered to stabilize surface temperature in both directions — reducing burn risk on hot equipment and suppressing condensation and icing on cold equipment — without promoting corrosion under insulation (CUI). With fast spray-on application, no reportable VOCs, and testing to NACE TM21423 and ISO 9227, NanoTech Insulator delivers durable thermal protection without the bulk of traditional insulation — making it ideal for tanks, pipes, and equipment across high-heat, cold-service, and cyclic industrial environments.
Three layers that work together
The Insulative Coating System is three products applied in order. Each layer has one job, and together they insulate, protect the steel underneath, and finish the surface.
Layer 1 · Primer
NanoTech Zinc Primer
The base layer on carbon steel. The insulating coat needs no primer over non-ferrous metals, but carbon steel substrates require a primer to prevent corrosion.
Layer 2 · Insulating coat
NanoTech Insulator
The insulating layer, built on NanoTech's patented Insulative Ceramic Particle. Personnel protection to 220°F in one pass and 350°F in two, tested per NACE TM21423.
Layer 3 · Topcoat
NanoTech Insulator TopCoat
The finish layer, applied once the NanoTech Insulator has fully cured, to complete the system.
What the system does
CUI prevention
Does not promote corrosion under insulation: a seamless film with no moisture trap, tested to ISO 9227 and ISO 12944.
Burn protection
Supports OSHA and NACE compliant touch temperatures, cited against ASTM C1057 and NACE TM21423.
Condensation control
Suppresses condensation and ice by keeping surfaces above the dew point, field-proven across three winters on outdoor gas equipment.
