NanoTech Materials says its coatings are fireproof, heat-reducing, and already being used by the U.S. military and big-box stores.
The Katy-based start-up has developed an “Insulative Ceramic Particle” that, when integrated into coatings or paint, significantly reduces heat transfer. This simple but effective technology has drawn attention from major players like the Rice Alliance Clean Energy Accelerator and Halliburton Labs. With applications ranging from cooling commercial buildings to wildfire protection, NanoTech’s particle offers a clear value proposition in reducing HVAC costs and enhancing fire safety.
As extreme heat and rising energy demands dominate global concerns, NanoTech’s solution arrives at a critical juncture. The company reports that its coatings can cut HVAC energy use by up to 50%, providing major benefits for commercial clients, including a well-known Fortune 500 retailer. With interest growing from sectors ranging from the U.S. military to California wildfire management, NanoTech is positioning itself as a key player in both energy efficiency and safety.
