NexaNano says it built its business to help contractors grow

NexaNano, a Utah-based surface protection company, says it was created to give contractors better products, support and business opportunities. The company has expanded an installer network around SiO₂ surface protection products it says are biodegradable, PFAS-free and designed for exterior surfaces. Why it matters: - NexaNano is positioning surface protection as both a product category and a contractor growth play. - The company is targeting installers who want an added service line and property owners who want longer-lasting protection for exterior surfaces. - Demand is rising for products that combine performance with lower environmental impact, which could shape buying decisions in the coatings and sealants market. What happened: - NexaNano said it was founded by industry veteran Malcolm Stout to create more opportunity for contractors nationwide. - The company was built after Stout’s years of experience working with contractors, property owners and service professionals across the industry. - NexaNano says its mission is to help contractors grow stronger businesses while offering homeowners and property owners advanced surface protection. - The company is based in Utah and manufactures in Payson, Utah. The details: - NexaNano specializes in SiO₂ surface protection solutions for concrete, roofing, wood, stone and other exterior surfaces. - The products are designed to protect surfaces exposed to weather, moisture, UV exposure and environmental wear. - NexaNano says its formulations are fully biodegradable and contain no PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” - The company says the products are designed to be safe for families, pets, landscaping and the environments where they are applied. - NexaNano has invested in a contractor-focused ecosystem that includes education, resources, support and exclusive territory opportunities for qualified installer partners. - The company says installer partners across the country are helping homeowners and commercial property owners extend the life of existing surfaces. - NexaNano says the installer network also gives contractors a new revenue stream and a product they can stand behind. - The company’s LinkedIn page , Instagram account , Facebook profile and YouTube channel are listed in the release. Between the lines: - NexaNano is leaning on a familiar strategy in specialty construction and home-improvement markets: win the installer first, then scale through that channel. - The company’s emphasis on environmental responsibility suggests it is trying to differentiate from traditional sealants that rely on harsher chemicals. - Stout framed the business as a partnership model, not just a manufacturing operation, which may help with installer recruitment and retention. What’s next: - NexaNano says it will keep investing in resources aimed at contractor growth as demand for preventative maintenance and long-term surface preservation increases. - The company expects future growth to come from innovation, education, environmental responsibility and stronger ties between manufacturers and field professionals. - Stout said the company is still in the early chapters of its story and will continue focusing on contractor support and surface protection. The bottom line: - NexaNano is betting that contractor support, territory access and eco-positioning can turn a surface protection product into a nationwide business platform.
