Roof, Concrete, Asphalt & Wood Protection — Guaranteed
Nano-MAX Science
Nano-Technology at Work
Nano-MAX surface treatments are built on a dual-phase chemistry that restores degraded materials and introduces a nano-scale protective matrix designed to withstand environmental wear, UV degradation, and moisture intrusion.
At the core of every Nano-MAX product is a proprietary formulation of:
Soy-based rejuvenating agents that restore flexibility and binder stability in asphalt and porous substrates
Nano-silicate particles that bond to the surface and form a highly durable, hydrophobic barrier — without sealing or altering breathability
Anatomy of an Asphalt Shingle
Understanding your roof starts with understanding your shingles — and why they matter.
Most asphalt shingles are built with three essential layers, each playing a critical role in protecting your home:
🟪 Granule Surface
The visible outer surface is coated with ceramic granules. These offer UV protection, reflect heat, and shield the asphalt from hail, sun, and abrasion. When you see granules in your gutters — it’s a warning sign of aging.
⬛ Asphalt Layer
This layer is infused with waterproofing oils and polymers. It's responsible for flexibility, weatherproofing, and sealing your home from rain and snow. It’s also the part that breaks down over time due to oxidation and oil loss.
🟫 Fiberglass Base Mat
The foundation of the shingle, this layer provides structure, fire resistance, and tensile strength. It holds the shingle together under stress from wind, snow, and impact.
💡 Together, these layers create a shingle that’s designed to expand, contract, and resist the elements — but only while the asphalt remains flexible and intact.
Aging of the Asphalt Shingle
Even the best roofs don’t last forever. Montana’s sun, snow, hail, and wind all accelerate the natural aging process of your shingles — starting from the moment they’re installed.
🟪 Granule Surface – UV Shield Degrades
-
Granules wash away over time due to wind, rain, and hail
-
Less protection = more UV damage to the asphalt layer
-
Loss of granules = hotter attic, faster deterioration
If you see granules in your gutters, it’s not just cosmetic — your roof is losing its armor.
⬛ Asphalt Layer – Flexibility Turns to Brittleness
-
UV rays and temperature swings evaporate protective oils
-
The asphalt becomes dry, brittle, and cracked
-
Shingles can no longer expand and contract — they begin to curl and split
Once this layer fails, leaks are only a matter of time.
🟫 Fiberglass Base Mat – The Last Line of Defense
-
Once exposed, this mat can absorb moisture, grow mold, or tear under stress
-
Water damage spreads into underlayment, decking, and eventually the structure
At this stage, most roofs are past repair — replacement becomes the only option.
Montana Realities:
-
Freeze/thaw cycles, hailstorms, and high UV elevation shorten lifespan
-
Typical lifespan in Montana: 17–20 years
-
Manufacturer “25-year” claims rarely hold up under our climate
💡 The good news: Aging shingles don’t always need replacement.
Nano-MAX Revive can reverse key signs of breakdown — before it’s too late.-
The Science of Bio-Oil (Soy Methyl Ester)
Nano-MAX uses a powerful bio-based rejuvenator derived from soy methyl ester (SME) — a clean, renewable oil made from soybeans. SME is the core ingredient responsible for restoring lost flexibility and life to aging asphalt shingles.
🌿 Why Soy Methyl Ester?
-
Extracted from natural soybean oil
-
100% biodegradable and renewable
-
Proven to penetrate and plasticize aged asphalt at the molecular level
-
Environmentally responsible alternative to petroleum-based rejuvenators
🔬 How It Works:
-
As asphalt shingles age, they lose essential oils, causing brittleness, cracking, and failure
-
Soy methyl ester penetrates the asphalt layer, restoring its plasticity and flexibility
-
Helps reverse oxidation, seal micro-cracks, and recondition the shingle
-
Compatible with nano-silicate, working in tandem to waterproof and protect
🧪 Field-Tested and Proven:
-
Used for decades in pavement rejuvenation and asphalt restoration
-
Lab-tested for asphalt absorption and compatibility
-
Non-toxic, low VOC, and safe for homes, pets, and plants
💡 Think of it like moisturizer for your shingles — softening and restoring what time and sun have stripped away.

What are Nano-Silicates?
Nano-silicates are ultra-fine mineral particles, typically between 20–100 nanometers, engineered from silicate-based compounds (such as layered aluminosilicates or modified clays). At this size, they:
-
Penetrate deep into micro-cracks, pores, and voids
-
Chemically interact with the substrate to form siloxane bonds
-
Remain permanently embedded, creating a UV-reflective and water-resistant matrix
This is not a topical coating — it’s a molecular reinforcement of the substrate.

Surface-Level Chemistry
✔ For Roofing Applications:
-
Replaces lost plasticizers and oils in aged asphalt shingles
-
Restores tensile flexibility to delay cracking and curling
-
Nano-silicates reduce solar absorptivity and mitigate UV-induced aging
-
Promotes hydrophobic drainage without trapping internal moisture
✔ For Concrete & Hard Surfaces:
-
Nano-silicates fill capillaries and micro-fissures, reducing permeability
-
Enhances freeze/thaw resistance, especially in northern climates
-
Reduces surface erosion from water, ice, deicing salts, and UV
-
Maintains vapor permeability to avoid blistering or scaling
-
Non-Toxic formula, Environmentally safe
🌿 Safe for People. Safe for the Planet.
Nano-MAX's advanced nano-silicate formula is engineered to deliver powerful results without compromising safety. It’s been tested and classified by OSHA and independent labs as:
-
✅ Readily biodegradable — breaks down quickly and safely in the environment
-
✅ No bioaccumulation — doesn’t build up in plants, animals, or waterways
-
✅ Aquatic-safe — won’t harm fish, amphibians, or aquatic ecosystems
Whether it runs off during rain or is applied near garden beds, Nano-MAX is one of the few roof treatments that combines scientific innovation with true environmental responsibility.
Effective on aging shingles. Gentle on everything else.
-

Each treatment is backed by a 10–15 year transferable warranty, depending on the surface and product used. Independent lab testing and field use across high-UV and extreme freeze/thaw climates have validated:
-
Reduction in granular loss and shingle oxidation
-
Increased water repellency (contact angle ≥ 120°)
-
Preservation of substrate integrity under solar, water, and chemical exposure
-
❌ Traditional Sealants
-
