NanoTech Materials hosted Jonathan Butz on The Particle Guy to discuss coatings technology and R&D.

At NanoTech Materials, we are formulating the future of heat control and fire mitigation. Headquartered in Katy, TX, we engineer advanced coatings built around our patented Insulative Ceramic Particle (ICP)™ platform. This breakthrough technology transforms ordinary surfaces into high-performance thermal barriers that reject heat, protect critical infrastructure from wildfire, and deliver industrial-grade insulation without the bulk, weight, or downtime of traditional systems. Our product portfolio addresses the toughest challenges facing building owners, facility managers, DOTs, and industrial operators. Cool Roof Coat: A high-performance roof coating that actively rejects heat, reduces HVAC loads, and extends the service life of commercial and industrial roofs. Miami-Dade certified and applied directly over existing surfaces, with no tear-off required. Wildfire Shield: A non-hazardous fire protective coating engineered for wooden infrastructure. Built to withstand extreme heat, it protects timber lagging, bridges, fencing, and trail assets in wildfire-prone regions. Cool Touch and Industrial Insulative Coatings: Thin-film thermal coatings that reduce surface temperatures on hot equipment, mitigate corrosion under insulation (CUI), and support OSHA and NACE compliance across oil and gas, manufacturing, and heavy industry. Ceramic Refractory Coatings: Engineered for extreme temperature environments where durability and thermal stability are mission-critical. We partner with architects, contractors, facility engineers, municipal agencies, and industrial operators to deliver measurable performance gains: lower energy consumption, stronger asset integrity, faster project timelines, and reduced lifecycle costs. Every formulation is backed by third-party testing, certifications, and technical documentation built for real-world deployment at scale. This is materials science built for the real world. Durable. Deployable. Proven.
