A roof restoration coating works on condition, not age. Learn what qualifies a commercial roof and how to price a coating against replacement.
Around 35 utility and municipal programs now rebate cool roof coating. See what Austin Energy, OUC and LADWP pay, plus the two rules that gate the money.
California permits now require 0.63 aged solar reflectance and SRI 75 on low-slope commercial roofs. Here is what that changes about how you spec a roof.
Data center cooling can eat up to 40% of facility energy. See how a ceramic cool roof coating rejects heat, holds aged performance, and lowers cooling load.
During a multi-day heat wave a commercial roof soaks up heat and never cools overnight, compounding cooling load. Here is how heat rejection keeps it in check.
Reflectance and heat rejection are not the same on a commercial roof. See how a heat-rejection cool roof coating trims HVAC load and holds up as it ages.
The Palisades Fire reached the coast in January 2025. In its wake, NanoTech protected a Pacific Coast Highway retaining wall near the Getty Villa with Wildfire Shield, using both on-site and shop-applied off-site coating to move at emergency speed.
Corrosion under insulation and solar heat quietly age process equipment. See how a thin bonded ceramic coating protects aging steel in place and runs it cooler.
Wildfire resiliency codes are shifting fire performance from marketing claims to verified ratings. Here is what that shift means for wood infrastructure.
Grid hardening plans often overlook the wood already in the field. See how radiant-heat-rejecting coatings protect poles and timber between fire seasons.
How a NanoTech Cool Touch insulating coating stopped recurring ice and condensation on natural gas meters and valves through three Michigan winters — without relying on heat tracing.
This document explores the application of advanced coating technologies, focusing on NanoTech Material's Cool Roof Coat, which offers significant improvements in thermal management.
Wildfires increasingly threaten critical U.S. infrastructure, with temperatures soaring to 1,800°F–2,200°F, destroying unprotected materials within minutes. At the writing of this article, L.A. fires have already consumed over 57,000 acres and are projected to exceed $30 billion in damages.
Block-level urban heat data is showing rooftops within a single city can differ by 20 F, reshaping how commercial cool roofs get specified for HVAC and year-five performance.
For facility teams writing roof specs, the distinction has direct consequences for HVAC sizing, asset life, and utility budgets.
The way wildfire losses get categorized inside infrastructure groups, insurance carriers, and DOT planning teams has shifted in the last two fire cycles. The old framing was a property claim, sized to a single structure or parcel. The new framing is a community-scale construction project, with permitting, environmental remediation, and recovery construction all running on extended timelines that stretch a year past the fire and often longer.
We're pleased to share that NanoTech Materials has been awarded TIPS Contract 26010401 (NON-JOC) & 26010402(JOC), Trades, Labor, and Materials, with a scope covering our Cool Roof Coating system.
Between rooftops three miles apart, commercial surface temperatures can differ by 20°F or more. Facility teams have suspected this for years. They are now getting block-level data that proves it, and the insights are reshaping how portfolios think about cool roofs.
For facilities managers and building owners, understanding what drives peak demand is the first step toward controlling it.
Commercial buildings account for nearly a third of U.S. electricity consumption. During hot summer months, that figure climbs as HVAC systems run at full capacity. For every degree of unnecessary cooling load a building can eliminate, it frees up grid capacity for other users and improves overall system reliability.
State Route 128 has burned more than once. Along this scenic wine-country corridor, NanoTech worked with Valentine Corporation to coat three timber-lagging walls, 3,750 square feet in all, with Wildfire Shield.
How NanoTech Materials and PIC Global brought Cool Roof Coat technology to a Walgreens pharmacy in Henderson, Texas — with zero disruption to store operations.
Highway 192 runs through a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the most severe rating CAL FIRE assigns. NanoTech worked with Security Paving to coat a 1,200-square-foot timber-lagging wall there with Wildfire Shield, with minimal disruption to traffic.
A recent announcement on Business Wire highlights NanoTech Materials' launch of Wildfire Shield, a non-toxic, high-temperature-resistant thermal coating engineered to protect critical wooden infrastructure from wildfires.
A recent article in PCI Magazine by Hani Taan (CTO, NanoTech Materials) and Troy Marshall (VP of Fire Proofing, NanoTech Materials) highlights a groundbreaking advancement in thermal management and fire mitigation technology.
How companies can meet sustainability goals and reduce operational costs through advanced roof coating technologies.
Six walls, 7,150 square feet, one fire-scarred stretch of road. Partnering with MCM Construction, NanoTech coated six timber-lagging walls near Porterville with Wildfire Shield, holding the same Class A protection across every surface.
Innovative nano-ceramic technology addresses both wildfire protection and energy efficiency challenges.
Winter storms took out part of US 101 near Cook Valley. After the Department of Transportation rebuilt the slope with a 14-foot-tall, 2,500-square-foot retaining wall, NanoTech coated its timber facing with Wildfire Shield, so a future fire would not undo the repair.
