Molecular Protection for Your Home When we talk about "nanotechnology" at Roof ReNu ATX, we aren't talking about science fiction. We’re talking about chemistry at the smallest possible scale. To understand why Go Nano Reviveworks, we have to understand why roofs fail in the first place.
The Anatomy of a Shingle
An asphalt shingle is essentially a fiberglass mat soaked in bitumen (oil-rich asphalt) and covered in stone granules. The oil is what makes the shingle flexible. As long as it’s flexible, it can expand in the heat and contract in the cold without breaking.
How the Oils Escape
The Texas sun emits powerful UV rays that act like a slow-moving oven. Over a decade, these rays "cook" the oils out of the shingles. Once those oils are gone, the shingle becomes "oxidized." It gets stiff, the granules start to fall off, and eventually, the shingle cracks.
Enter Go Nano Revive
Most roof coatings are "macroscopic"—the molecules are too big to actually enter the shingle. They just create a film on top that eventually peels off.
Go Nano Revive is different. It uses particles that are measured in nanometers (one-billionth of a meter). Because they are so small, they can travel through the microscopic pores of the shingle to reach the core. Once inside, they trigger a chemical reaction that:
- Rehydrates the Bitumen: It replaces the lost oils with a bio-based formula.
- Bonds the Granules: It acts like a molecular glue, keeping your "armor" on the roof and out of your gutters.
- Creates a Hydrophobic Barrier: It makes the shingle shed water more efficiently than it did when it was brand new.
The Bottom Line: You wouldn't let your car's engine run without oil. Why let your roof run dry? Nanotechnology is the "oil change" your home deserves.
