Liquid NanoTint
Transparent Thermal Insulation
ff
DryWired Liquid NanoTint®
is a thermal insulation coating ideal
for single-pane glass and polycarbonate surfaces. Applied like a paint,
Liquid Nanotint is capable of blocking 100% of Ultraviolet (UV) rays,
up to 95% of Infrared (IR) rays and maintaining up to 72% Visible
Light Transmission (VLT). Through the combination of solvent borne metal-
oxide nano-particles and an inorganic adhesive binder, Liquid
NanoTint forms a 10 micron thick self-leveling clear coat that bonds
directly to glass and polycarbonate surfaces.
Unlike conventional window films, Liquid NanoTint will not peel, crack,
bubble or fade over time lasting a minimum of 10 years. In addition,
NanoTint can be applied to curved glass, historic building windows,
skylights and textured glass surfaces. With the ability to mitigate both
radiant and conductive heat, Liquid NanoTint can effectively keep indoor
environments cooler in summer and prevent heat loss in the winter all
while allowing you to benefit from the natural daylight gain.

Case Study#1
Date: July 2015
Location: West Hollywood, California
Overview: Liquid NanoTint reduced the temperature in the Petrossian West Hollywood
Restaurant by approximately 15°F, after only coating 50% of the restaurants windows.

Liquid NanoTint
Case Study#2
Date: Fall 2015
Location: University of Idaho
Overview: “With the amount of solar heat
gain into the offices, another experiment was
brought into the mix. The company DryWired,
had a product which potentially would block
100% of UV, 95% of Infrared, yet maintain 90%
visible light. The liquid is applied to the glass and
only takes 14 days to cure and has low VOC’s.
Product testing showed results of lowering
cooling costs for buildings, so it was worth a try.
If successful, the pricey product could become a
great solution for older buildings which would be
too costly to fully renovate.
Another office of the western side of the second floor was chosen and the windows were cleaned,
primed, and tinted. With the products claims, we were expecting great results. In the first two weeks,
thermal data showed that the glass was warmer than neighboring untreated glass. So the heat was
being trapped at the glass, but was it passing through? Further testing showed that the room was
actually taking in less solar heat gain than the glass without the Liquid NanoTint. The chart below
shows that the tinted glass was blocking 20 degrees of heat when the sun was shining.”

Q1: How does the NanoTint coating work?
A1: The specially formulated NanoTint coating blocks up to 100% of ultra-violet (UV) light and
absorbs up to 95% of Infra-Red (IR) light on the window, while still allowing for up to 72% visible light
transmission.
Q2: How is DryWired®
Liquid NanoTint applied?
A2: Liquid NanoTint is a 2-component solution that, once mixed, has a pot life of 2 hours. The mixed
solution is applied with a high-density foam roller. For each designated coating area the mixed
solution must be applied evenly within approximately 4 minutes from start to finish. For more detailed
information, please consult the application instructions for DryWired®
Liquid NanoTint.
Q3: Is Liquid NanoTint applied on the interior or exterior of a glass surface?
A3: DryWired®
recommends coating the interior surface of a glass. Interior environmental conditions
are more easily controlled resulting in optimum clarity and uniformity of the final fully cured coating.
Q4: Are special conditions required during the application process?
A4: Yes, DryWired®
recommends application at a temperature between 41-95°F (5-35°C) and relative
humidity 70% or less. Air circulation should be minimized to mitigate contamination in the form of dust
and dirt during the application process and for at least the initial 60 minutes time.
Q5: What is the coverage rate of the DryWired Liquid NanoTint?
A5: Each high-density foam roller used will absorb and retain 30 grams of Liquid NanoTint solution. In
addition to these initial 30 grams, every additional 30 grams of Liquid NanoTint solution will cover an
area of 1m2
(10ft2
).
Q6: What type of surface preparation is required?
A6: All obvious dirt and contaminants should be removed with a paper towel. Masking materials
should be used to protect adjacent surfaces and window fixtures. DryWired®
LNT Glass Primer is
then used to clean the surface. For more detailed information, please consult the Standard Operating
Procedure for DryWired®
Liquid NanoTint.
Q7: How large of a surface area can a single person coat in the recommended 4 minute
time frame?
A7: One person can coat approximately 2m2
(21ft2
) before encountering application challenges.
Q8: Can the Liquid NanoTint coating be applied by a method other than the high-density
foam roller?
A8: Not at this time. Consult Drywired if you have another suggested process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q9: Are there any odors associated with the application of the product?
A9: Similar to a household paint, there is an initial odor that lasts about 4 hours. We recommend
vacating the premises during the application for a minimum of 4 hours. Once the coating has fully
cured, no off gassing occurs as validated by independent third party testing. This documentation is
available upon request.
Q10: What are the recommended safety procedures?
A10: As with any material being used in the workplace or home, please refer to label for safety
precautions. More detailed information is provided in the DryWired®
Liquid NanoTint Safety Data Sheet
which includes safe handling, storage, personal protective equipment, and disposal procedures.
Q: Can the Liquid NanoTint coating be removed from glass surfaces?
A: Yes.
Q: Is there a warranty on this product?
A: There is a warranty on this product. What is covered in this warranty is available upon request.
Q: Can the NanoTint surface be cleaned with common cleaning supplies?
A: Yes, after it has fully cured for 14 days. Abrasive materials should be avoided.
Q: Can this coating be physically scratched?
A: Abrasion of the coating is possible. It is important to remember that the coating is only as sound as
the substrate. If a material will abrade glass, it will abrade the Liquid NanoTint Coating.
