Clear advantages
The result: research shows one treatment of GoNano extends the average roof’s lifespan by 10-15 years
Once modified, the new structural form of the asphalt enhances its durability, specifically its flexibility, hydrophoby, and anti-aging performance.
Compare the differences
1. Nanotechnology VS traditional sealant formulas
GoNano: Uses advanced nanotechnology that modifies the molecular structure of materials, providing permanent protection and significantly enhancing surface properties.
Traditional Sealants: Typically use larger particles and simpler chemical formulations that offer surface-level protection without altering the material's core properties.
2. Longevity and durability
GoNano: Offers protection that lasts 10 to 15 years with a single application, significantly extending the lifespan of treated surfaces.
Traditional Sealants: Generally require frequent reapplication every 1 to 3 years as their protective capabilities diminish over time.
3. Application and convenience
GoNano: Treatments are quick to apply (often in just one day), with no dust, odor, or need for multiple treatments.
Traditional Sealants: Application can be more labor-intensive, sometimes producing strong odors and requiring multiple coats for effective coverage.
4. Environmental impact
GoNano: Employs non-toxic, water-based formulas that are safe for the environment, helping to reduce waste and minimize ecological impact.
Traditional Sealants: May contain harsher chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and require more frequent reapplication, contributing to greater waste.
5. Comprehensive protection
GoNano: Provides superior protection against a wide range of environmental challenges, including UV rays, water, ice, and extreme temperatures.
Traditional Sealants: Often offer limited protection, primarily against water and basic weathering, and may not perform well under extreme conditions.
6. Cost efficiency
GoNano: Although the initial cost may be higher, the long-term savings from reduced maintenance and extended surface life make it a cost-effective solution.
Traditional Sealants: Lower initial costs but higher long-term expenses due to frequent maintenance and reapplication needs.
NanoProtect Solutions VS traditional sealants: The deep difference
It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
NanoProtect Solutions leverages GoNano’s cutting-edge products to deliver unmatched protection for your surfaces. Unlike traditional sealants that sit on the surface and can crack or peel,NanoProtect Solutions advanced nanotechnology penetrates deep into the material’s pores. This ensures robust, long-lasting durability and extends the life of your surfaces far beyond what conventional sealants can offer. Discover the deep difference with NanoProtect Solutions.

The result: a unified barrier against stains caused by nvironmental factors.
NanoProtect Solutions utilization of GoNano’s revolutionary technology represents a significant advancement in surface sealants. Traditional sealants merely coat surfaces, often filling spaces with oil and providing a temporary barrier. In contrast, NanoProtect Solutions treatments fundamentally alter the molecular structure of materials,particularly asphalt shingles. Upon application, a chemical reaction initiates within each shingle, creating new S1 particles that bind both organic and inorganic components. These particles link shingle granules together from within, forming a unified, durable barrier against environmental stressors. This inside-out approach not only enhances protection but also extends the lifespan of your roof, saving you money on maintenance and replacements over time.
Change is good
1. Increased resistance to hail storms & high winds
Unmatched Durability: NanoProtect Solutions advanced treatments enhance the molecular structure of surfaces, significantly increasing their resistance to extreme weather conditions. By creating robust S1 particles that bind tightly within the material, our technology fortifies roofs against the impact of hail and the force of high winds. This internal reinforcement means your shingles are less likely to crack, break, or be torn off during severe storms, providing peace of mind and superior protection.
2. Cleans & prevents algae growth
Algae-Free Surfaces: NanoProtect Solutions innovative technology not only strengthens materials but also creates a surface environment that resists the growth of algae and other organic matter. The molecular modification process makes surfaces less conducive to algae, helping to keep your roof clean and free from unsightly and damaging green growth. This ensures that your property maintains its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over time.
3. Prevention and reduction of water infiltration
Effective Water Barrier: The deep penetration ofNanoProtect Solutions treatments creates a unified barrier within the material that significantly reduces water infiltration. This molecular transformation means that rain, snow, and ice are less likely to seep into the shingles, preventing leaks and the associated damage. By keeping moisture out, NanoProtect Solutions helps to maintain the structural health of your roof and reduce the risk of costly water damage.
4. Preserving and regenerating shingle color
Vibrant and Long-Lasting Color: NanoProtect Solutions treatments protect and rejuvenate the color of your shingles. The modification at the molecular level ensures that pigments are preserved and protected from fading due to UV exposure and weathering. This means your roof retains its vibrant appearance for much longer, enhancing your property’s curb appeal and reducing the need for frequent touch-ups or replacements.
5. Maintaining granule composition
Granule Integrity: The S1 particles formed by NanoProtect Solutions treatments bind the shingle granules together, preventing them from being dislodged by wind, rain, or physical wear. This not only maintains the protective surface of your shingles but also preserves their ability to reflect sunlight and protect against heat absorption. Maintaining granule integrity is crucial for prolonging the life and effectiveness of your roof.
6. Effective evacuation of ice and snow
Seamless Ice and Snow Shedding: NanoProtect Solutions technology enhances the hydrophobic properties of treated surfaces, facilitating the efficient removal of ice and snow. This improved drainage prevents the accumulation of heavy ice and snow, which can cause stress and damage to your roof. By promoting effective evacuation, NanoProtect Solutions helps to protect against the weight and potential leaks associated with winter weather conditions.
GoNano classes
Classifications for shingled roofs are put through a standardized process by Underwriters Laboratories to determine a roof’s impact resistance to falling objects, emulating a hailstorm. There are four categories: Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4, in order of least resistant to most resistant. In order for GoNano to earn a Class 4 certification, a 50.88mm(2-in) diameter steel ball was dropped from 20 feet above a vulnerable section of a shingled roof. Following these tests, roofs showed no signs of damage and/or cracking. A Class 3 steel ball is smaller by a quarter of an inch in diameter, and so on for Classes 2 and 1. Class 4 is shown to have the highest impact resistance, a low loss of granules and a lifespan of 22 to 25 years. The less effective Class 1 has little-to-no impact resistance with a higher loss of granules and decade-shorter lifespan. One treatment from GoNano’s sealant transforms Class 1 shingles into Class 3, and two treatments into Class 4.
