The Last Roof You’ll Ever Need

Discover the Scientific Benefits of Using Nanosilica Particles

 

Z

Nanosilica Particles 1/30,000th the size of a human hair

Z

Strengthen asphalt shingles

Z

Protect against rutting and fatigue cracking

GoNano is the roofing solution that leaves roofs stronger and lasts longer than anything else on the market

Advanced UV Mitigation Technology

GoNano S1 Nanoparticles Protect Against UV Damage, Cracking & Wear

UV protection

UV protection is vital for the East Texas summers. The GoNano S1 particles link shingle granules together, working from the inside out, creating a unified barrier against environmental strains. This is imperative to prevent cracking and crumbling of the shingle.

Permanent Structure Modification

The GoNano Effect ↓

01
Modifies the molecular structure of asphalt shingles.
02
After application, reaction occurs with each shingle.
03

During reaction, both organic and inorganic material create new chemical links, called S1 particles.

04

S1 particles enter into asphalt pores and move outward, connecting with other shingles.

Before:

A High Magnification View of a Shingle

Granules are not embedded that deeply into the shingle causing them to run off a roof over time.

During:

The Polymerization Process

GoNano reacts to cover a larger surface area. A modification reaction takes place within and on top of the shingle.

After:

GoNano Has Fully Modified the Structure

Granules are embedded in the nanosilica layer, holding them in place to help the shingle retain more granules for longer.

The exposed area is completely covered with the barrier, extending the lifespan of the shingle itself.

The Result

A Unified Barrier Against Environmental Strains

The evolution of GoNano technology created a shift in how sealants are approached. A regular shingle is sealed with oil, filling up the space in between shingles. GoNano modifies the molecular structure of asphalt shingles permanently. After application, a reaction occurs within each shingle. This reaction fuses both organic and inorganic material, creating new chemical links, called S1 particles. These S1 particles link shingle granules together, working from the inside out, creating a unified barrier against environmental strains and saving you money by extending the lifespan of your roof.
