What is Nano-Clear®?
Nano-Clear® is an advanced protective clear coating that keeps your surfaces looking their best for over a decade.
It is resistant to fading, UV, weathering, chemicals, salt, solvents, and graffiti. Making it ideal for protecting a wide range of surfaces, such as aluminium joinery, machinery, infrastructure, playgrounds and more.
Incredibly hard and durable, lasting three times longer than standard paint. It is hydrophobic, making it easy to clean, and a cost-effective solution for keeping your surfaces looking great.
We can adjust the gloss level with Nano-Clear® to full-gloss, semi-gloss, or matt creating the perfect look for your needs.
Nano-Clear® is a sprayed-on application and we can treat your windows in-situ, minimizing disruption to your home or business. Some of our license owners have spray booths available for machinery and outdoor furniture treatments.
If you're looking for a protective coating that will keep your surfaces and assets looking their best for years to come, then Nano-Clear® is the perfect solution. Click here to hear from one of our team.

Nano-Clear® Property Overview
The automotive industry commonly applies high performance "clear topcoatings'" over painted surfaces to mitigate the negative effects of environmental exposure (acid rain, harsh UV rays, car washing, stone chips...). Automotive OEM clear coatings are well known to provide long-term surface protection against the environment when applied over painted surfaces. The industrial paint market currently relies on pigmented coatings alone without the use of a high performance clear coating. What is needed is a high performance clear coating designed to dramatically extend the surface life of industrial painted surfaces.
Nano-Clear® is designed to dramatically enhance and extend the surface life of 'newly-painted' or 'oxidised' painted surfaces by 10+ years. Organisations have invested billions of dollars to protect high-value assets from corrosion, scratching, chipping, chemical attack and weathering. Many of these assets were painted using inferior paint materials not designed to withstand long-term weathering and use. Organisations have various options when these painted assets degrade:
1. Do nothing and allow the paint weathering cycle to continue (resulting in decreased corrosion, chemical and UV resistance).
2. Replace the existing paint system using the same conventional systems (epoxy topcoat, polyurethane or latex).
3. Enhance and extend the surface life of 'new' or 'oxidised' painted assets by 10+ years using Nano-Clear.
Conventional industrial paint systems including epoxies provide good corrosion resistance and initial surface hardness, but unfortunately fall short in long-term UV resistance and weathering. Two-component polyurethanes provide good UV resistance and weathering, but typically cost much more than epoxy or polyester topcoats. Unfortunately, conventional paint systems like topcoats and epoxies begin the oxidization process or “chalking” from weathering within 6 months from application. This surface chalking phenomenon is actually degraded paint that resides on the surface from UV exposure and weathering.
Nano-Clear coatings penetrate deep into the smallest pores within newly painted or highly oxidised paint surfaces to form a highly cross-link dense/hard coat surface. Nano-Clear coatings provide dramatically longer surface protection over conventional automotive, marine, aerospace and industrial paints including epoxies and polyurethanes. How can we make this claim? Nano-Clear coatings provide dramatically higher crosslink density over conventional one-component and two-component coating systems. Nano-Clear coatings prevent UV degradation of the substrate by absorbing harmful UV rays.
What is crosslink density and why is it important in coatings? Crosslink density is defined as the concentration of chemical bonds within a polymer. Higher concentrations of chemical bonds within a polymer improve physical properties. Conversely, lower concentrations of chemical bonds within a polymer decrease physical properties. Increasing crosslink density increases material hardness, chemical resistance and long-term UV resistance.
How does crosslink density relate to a coatings longevity? High crosslink dense coatings provide increased molecular bonds. Increased molecular bonds are more difficult to break down by chemical attack, surface scratching and UV degradation from sunlight exposure. Highly crosslinked coatings provide increased physical performance and increased longevity as compared to lower crosslinked coating systems.

History of Nano-Clear®
Founder and Developer of the Nano-Clear® Product - Thomas Choate
1982 Thomas began his scientific journey at the early age of 16, while working for Progressive Dental Laboratory in Brighton, MI, USA. He began to develop skills in the art and science of manufacturing porcelain teeth (crowns), dental metallurgy, polymer synthesis, high heat ceramics and high heat porcelain glazes.
1986 Thomas first hit headlines when he started Felix Dental Arts which focused on creating 'life like' dental prosthetics for local sports celebrities.
1989 Thomas had founded Felix Dental Manufacturing, which had a focus on developing highly functional dental materials which in turn developed the world's first polyurethane hybrid dental polymer with a thermal expansion of 0.05%, and many more leading products and developments. Thomas sold Felix Dental Manufacturing to ADS - American Dental Supply and ADS continue to market the Felix branded products to leading dental laboratories, dentists and Dental Universities.
2003 Thomas continued his passion of development with the founding of Nanovere Technologies. Here he specializes in the research, development and manufacturing, with the 'first-to-market' nano coating with multi-functional properties. He continued to channel his expertise with key scientific concepts, materials and processes and developed a highly scratch resistant, chemical and UV resistant nano-coating with self-cleaning properties. The technical challenge here was to develop a multi-functional nano-coating that would out preform 'all' leading automotive and aerospace OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) coating competitors.
2008 After 5 years of extensive research and product development, Nanovere introduced the world's first Dendritic Polyurethane Coating System, and began working closely with leading validation organisations including GM, Jaguar, BMW, Boeing, Club Car and Polaris.
2009 Nanovere began working with Bayer Material Sciences, Alcoa and Sveza Les OOO based in Russia.
2011 Nanovere partnered with Nippon Paint / CyGlaz, who are the largest paint manufacturers in Asia.
2012 Nano-Clear is introduced to New Zealand.
2013 Nanovere introduced the world's first ambient cure 'Nano-Clear Coating' to exceed the automotive OEM industrial and aerospace OEM technical specifications.
2015 Geoff Pridham became the New Zealand National Distributor.
2018 Geoff created the opportunity for individuals to purchase Regional Licences within New Zealand.
2019 Nano-Clear Industrial Coating Solutions / Nanovere was a Winner at the 2019 Corrosion Innovation Awards hosted by NACE International. Nominees were required to show significant positive impact in corrosion control, relating to coatings, linings, materials, design, equipment, testing monitoring, integrity assessment, cathodic protection, chemical treatment and anything else directly related to corrosion prevention and mitigation.
Nano-Clear's product portfolio is still manufactured by Nanovere in Brighton, Michigan USA and sold globally through select distributors.
Nanovere Nano-Clear® has developed a complete platform of market-ready 3D nanostructured polymers and multi-functional nanocoating formulations.
Nano-Clear nano-coatings have been proven to be the most scratch, chemical and UV resistant in the coating industry.
Nano-Clear® is the perfect product for permanent clear coat protection for home assets, vehicles, marine boats and industrial assets.
